No sign of it in April
I was in Barahona in the beginning of April and spent a few evenings on the malecon drinking beer and talking to some locals. They lamented the lack of tourists that visit Barahona. They spent a while listing the atractions in the area, but they never once mentioned this project. The next day I hired one to take me out to the beach at San Rafael on his concho, as it was the day of the huelga, and there were no guaguas running. It was a gorgous ride and he took the time to point out the differant beaches and attractions including a large construction project that he said was to be a very large hotel, but it did not look like it was very active. I really like this part of the country and I want to do the whole road to Perdenales the next time I go out there. That road is probably the most scenic I have seen in the whole country. They could use some help drawing more visitors.
