Please advise as to what 4 or 5 people drowning off beach has to do with resort? Is this a dangerous beach??

The resort looks the same as it did a year ago therefore no need for new photos.

The people who drowned were locals - both Dominican, Haitian and ex pat local. Only has a little to do with resort as I am sure the owners will not want too many guests to drown off the resort beach as it is not good for business, so they may have to work out how to protect beach from strong current and undertow. Or employ lifeguards a la Baywatch who know what they are doing.

It is a dangerous beach (obviously as people have drowned) - more so since the beach was extended - it seems to have altered the dynamics of the undertow and current. Lovely sand though.

Watchman on site. NO work in progress, and a nice mudhole along the side although some debris has been tossed into the pothole! Great for the tires we just had repaired from our last jaunt that way..........
