Just returned last night from a great week at the Hamaca. There was a great show on the beach Friday night for the First ladies of Latin America. There was a tremendous sound stage built with performances by Dominican artists. Although it was a private event, we were able to see the performances from the beach and it was a great opportunity to see another part of Dominican culture. The Hamaca is movin on up!

There are still stores on the lobby level. As you walk into the Hamaca, you'll notice a new stairway on the left -- there's a space to the left of the stairs that leads to where the three stores are -- the little shop and jewelry store are still there, as well as a new store that sells cigars and wood carvings and a few other things.

I was very impressed with the improvements to the grounds of Hamaca. While we were there last week, they emptied the smaller pool on the beach side, and it looked like they resurfaced it and were refilling it.

They removed some of the "half wall" that surrounded the bar in between the two beach side pools, which will allow better access to the bar from the new pool side. They also re-did the stairs (with a ramp added) to the left of the old beach side pool. Looks like there will also be a little patio there.

We were told that once they are finished with the outside renovations, they will start renovating the rooms beginning with the ocean side rooms.

The water was very clear last week. It was also a lot of fun walking down the public beach over the Easter weekend. There were a lot of activities going on, and it was fun to see local families enjoying their beach.

They are adding actually a 5th floor right now about 20 more units . It will be only 5th floor building . Plus the whole building is under reconstruction ( New floor , closets , bathrooms etc. ) And right next to it ''L'' shape will be build another 6 floor building about 100 beach front rooms more . It will be nice when is done.

I'm so glad they are remodeling and updating the current rooms - but 120 more rooms! The beach is going to be really crowded.

Total between additional floor (5th floor) and the new 7 floors building will be 140 beach front rooms more . Ground works have begun already . This additional quantity of the units will cover the demand on the beach front and will balance the sales of the units as RE project (all studios) in the garden area around the big pool (Mexican restaurant area).
