Had seen you, when you shot the photos. We stayed in the room at the top of Photo 66 (honeymoon). The stuff did an amazing job. Lucky, that nobody get injured. Greets from Germany. We came back yesterday. The IB is already cleaned up and everything goes the normal way.

Just got back from Paraiso Beach. They did an incredible job cleaning! I would not have known the extent of the damage had I not looked at these pictures. Thanx for sharing.

Thanks for the great pics - we arrived at the Beach the day after Emily - you'd never know how much damage there had been after only 24 hours had gone by - the IB'ers worked so fast and so hard, most of what we see in your photos was already repaired ..... within a few days, almost everything except the seaweed on the beach was back to normal!

Thanks for posting these pictures. I have been wondering how this resort complex fared during the storm. Doesn't look too bad. We loved our stay, and are looking forward to going back.
