Punta Cana -- Best deals on Day Passes at resorts Does anyone know the best deals going right now for a day pass to an AI resort in the Punta Cana area?

Their calendar with availability ends on April 2nd. From that day forward there is no availability for the rest of the year and into next year. Very odd.
