*The gross density allowed is 40 rooms per hectar (1 hectar = 2.47105 acres) of developable area, defined to be the gross land area, reduced by the setbacks and protected areas such as mangroves. The exact developable area is to be officially determined by an independent environmental survey. For purposes of presenting a very conservative number, we will assume that 25% of the 355 acres is developable, yielding a developable area of 36 hectares ( 355x25%/2.47105), and a total of 1,440 rooms allowed. The number have been confirmed with signature by the Ministerio de Turismo (link)

Building the Perfect Beach
Nature is Rarely Perfect: Finding a perfect natural beach is not easy and will cost a fortune.
Man-Made is More Cost Effective: Designing and building the perfect beach is much cheaper and easily accomplished.
Man-Made Beaches: The truth is that many of the beaches in the DR are either man-made or heavily upgraded to attract tourists.
Plant Palms: It is actually much easier to plant palm trees around a resort than try to build a resort around mostly protected palm trees.
