Maybe you can post some of these articles on crime here to enlighten the people that live here. I must be in a coma, living here 7 years and have seen or heard next to nothing on crime here.
As far as hotels, I can only speak for the Hard Rock. 80% average occupancy. And in the winter full.

Unfortunately I cannot post these (i do not know how firstoff, and, I do not think I have posting privileges on DR1).
I get postings most days on Facebook
I get sent things from my friend in Santiago
And, living here in PC I get first hand info from other residents
Believe me personally Bavaro has lost much of its esrly charm, though
we will hit the road for restaurants and markets
Friend of mine here in PC near Los Corales had home invasion recently ...they killed her dog and robbed house while family there...
Yes robberies can happen anywhere at any time but with these goons being well aware of proliferation of hotels around punta cana area..they have proliferated as well
Hard Rock? Yuk. It was only good IMHO when it was in NYC. Served the most delicious hamburgers! Then those bankers, hedge funders devided to spread very very thin and sold its name and brand. So be it. Then it decided to go tropical (heaven help us).
