Hi Mike!
Playa is a great place to live! Lots of fun, nice people and fantastic climate. But you already know that...

Reg jobs: most people work in the tourist/service industry. Jobs are not that difficult to get, but sometimes immigration can be a hassle (it usually works out, but sometimes it can take weeks or months). Pay is typically not good. Playa always has space for entrepreneurs, and starting a company is not very difficult.

A place to live is not too difficult either, but Playa is unfortunately expensive when it comes to rent, like twice as much as Cancun. Supply and demand. Just how easy it is to find something depends greatly on what time of year you arrive. Many stay in a cheap hotel at first, till they find a place. A lot of hotels will give you monthly rates.

And since you've been here a few times you are prepared for the slow pace that sometimes makes Westerners frustrated. Me, I like it.

I'll be happy to give you further and more personal tips and help you out anyway I can.
