That beach was sooo nice in Feb 2005........ahhhh....let me see if I have a pic or two

or this one, a little more on the beach, which is now about 8 feet below where it was, from pictures I have seen elsewhere!

We rated the food there better than RIU's in Jamaica, and not as good as Secrets Punta Cana or Capri.....just my opinion.....

3 years ago, the RIU properties just north had those sand bags in the water, and we were glad about our hotel choice, but now....wow.......what is the cause? I have a hard time believing it is hurricane action......were there more mangroves in that area previously? Were those cut out/dug out to put in the resorts? Don't mess with mother nature, if that is what brought on the screwed up beaches! We learned a lot about the mangroves and what they do while on a jaunt in Florida, and if you ever get the chance to hear that talk, get an earful....as those are what make an island out of nothing......!
