[...] Just as some of us anticipated, it seems that Jan de Nul has returned to the spot where they began the beach recovery project on February 1st. Probably to sort out the issue of the sand "wall". [...]

Hi Jesi - see my comment to Jocelyn (and Ryan) above. You have no worries at all. Barring any setbacks (all well & good so far...) the beach recovery project will be complete by the beginning of May.

Other sites? Well, CancunCare.com is pretty good.

I to am planning a vacation to Cancun at the end of May.

I am staying at the Flamingo and was wandering what your thoughts on the condition of the beach at that time are going to be?!

I really hope that it will be okay, the water is the main reason we are going? Do you suggest any websites to get additional info?? Your site is extremely helpful!!

Ryan, the beach recovery seems to be gathering pace; there are reports (that I have yet to verify) the piping for phase 2 of the project is already being assembled in front of the Tri-Royal resort complex. You might be in luck!

Ryan - the beach at the Flamingo was pretty well swallowed up. This photo was taken from the hotel just last week.

I'm estimating that the beach recovery teams will reach the Park Royal around the first week in April. There are pockets of beach not too far away though, and more is being reclaimed naturally each week.

Do know what shape the beaches are in around the Flamingo? Are you at least able to enjoy the ocean and / or lay out on a part of it?

Any pics would be greatly appreciated. We will be arriving March 15th at the park royal. Thank you, Ryan

Jocelyn - unfortunately not; the Flamingo will not get it’s beach back until mid-April…

I will be staying at the Flamingo March 5 to 12. Can you tell me if you believe there will be a beach there by then?
