It's beginning to sound to me like it was a resort worker. If it were another guest at the hotel, I think they would have said so by now.

If half these rumors turn out to be true, no responsible staff member working at a resort would allow a young female guest to walk out of their sight at this hour of the morning especially if she appeared to be at all intoxicated.

I used to work in Sales/ Events Management and Planning for the Marriott Hotel in New Orlenas years ago and we ALWAYS took the security of our guest, on and off the property, very seriously.

The third link @MiamiDRGuy posted in #72 is from the private Dominican Republic Expats group. I saw that this morning, and the very first comment I saw was from a person saying she was found drowned, and when people asked her to give a source, she never did so. Speculation is one thing...stating it as a fact is another...gotta love all the social media "journalists"

Same exact thing happened to one of my best friends back in November 2021,tho it was in Cabarete not Punta Cana..
and YES, he made the list of "missing" foreigners who landed on DR1 only to turn up dead a few days later. They found his body about a mile from where he was last seen taking a dip. Sucks.

I really think this government needs to start letting tourist know (since tourism is their bread and butter) just how dangerous some of these beautiful beaches really are.
Never happen because it creates negative publicity. The government and the resorts cover up sexual assaults, food poisoning deaths, tainted alcoholic products, etc. Wave conditions are a factor but hidden undertow seems to be the main issue. Some resorts post warning flags on the beach when the winds create strong wave conditions. The bare minimum. You still get people who think they know better heading into the water during dangerous conditions. I’ve witnessed it at many resort beaches. I’m surprised there aren’t more drownings.
