Playa Grande Closed?

[twhitehead]

Went to Playa Grande in March and had a great time. Was looking at possibly going again next month but when going to the different travel sites the earliest date I could get was Nov 6th. Does anyone know has this resort closed for the summer? Are they have difficulties like before? Any info would be great...Thanks Tom

I agree Wud. There is nothing else near there and when occupancy is down it can get pretty Boring. Especially if you don't golf.

I went to this resort in april and had an amazing time. When i was there the staff told us that it was closing for good and my heart broke. I loved it so much but now seeing that it is actually not closing and is simply shutting down for renovations i am estatic i would love to go back..... (Being a 16 year old white canadian girl) i had my fair share of how do you guys say shankies? all over me but i had alot of fun regardless and made a lot of great friends and cant wait to go back!

A "Sankie is only a Shankie", if he manages to stab you in the back.
Also, he would be a "Spankie" if you catch him doing something wrong, and punish him.
He can also be a "Crankie" when you refuse to give him what he wants.
If he plays tricks on you, then he would be a "Prankie".
So if Frankie the Sankie gives you a Shankie and you get back at him with a Spankie, then he will be Crankie.

I believe you are referring to what use to be called Caribbean Village? Is that correct?
If so, it was closed at the end of April when I was staying near there and I believe it will stay that way as it makes way for the new Playa Grande Development.

There is a New Yorker magazine article which was featured in the Travel Section of DR1 back in March that describes what is happening. See the link below.
