The one thing I noticed about the "new" beach is the effect it has had on the water. The last time I was there, you could see all the way to the bottom when in the water on the hotel zone beaches. Now the water is too cloudy with sand to see more than a foot or so down. I assume this is from the beach "regulating" itself after the reclamation project. The beaches look wonderful overall, but the texture of the sand and the color and clarity of the water have changed.

My overall impression is still of a place that I cannot wait to go back to though. The fact that this much progress has been made in such a short amount of time makes me think that things will continue to get better and better.

Also a recent report, in Quequi, one of the local newspapers has indicated some recent major beach work being done in front of both Marriott’s that is endangering the previous restoration, the ecology to Sea Turtle nesting areas, and the work is leaving debris areas that have become dangerous to tourists and locals walking the public beach area.

Any updates would be appreciated and thanks for the continued work and perseverance in the Post Hurricane Wilma Cancun.

Also, congratulations on your recent award for the site.
