My husband and I stayed at the same resort this past April. Was my first trip to this type of place. The water was amazingly beautiful and the highlight of the trip. The employees seemed eager to please and welcoming, but I just didn’t have the ‘feel goods’ about the Dominican. Definitely knew I was not in the US anymore.
It’s sad, because I think the tourism is benefiting the country as a whole, and stories like this are sure to hurt the industry.
Two other Americans died in April
Drove their rental car into the sea on way home to airport
Phones were turned off ... seems odd
Five dead Americans in 6 weeks
Should be reopened
