New spa, STARBUCKS....

has the entire Melia changed hands or just this hotel, i wonder?

Oh great! Now I can get a single espresso drink for the price of an entire breakfast, espresso included at a real Dominican restaurant.

I wonder if they're changing the casino management, Mr. AE has a good friend working there....

I think the casino has already changed. Went in to use the cash machine. Now run by some operation called Dreams or something like that. Completely new lay out. new game tables.. fewer slot machines.. no stale odor. definitely different.

I know that the casino at that hotel was hit with a robbery .. last year, I think... of above 50k US

My best friend,American, works for "Dreams Casinos".
Canadian owned, and operated.
They have over 20 casinos in the DR, as well as "Discos", and over 700 "Bancas", betting parlors.
They have a lot of non-Dominicans in upper mgt. positions.
They are actually interested in making their customers happy, not like the Dominican casino owners who just want to take the money, and the customer be "Damned"!
They have invested millions of dollars in their properties over the last 2 years.
They must be really smart, they offered me a job!
I kept the one I have now, raising my kids "Full Time"!
