As we walk the beach we notice that some of the resorts have an awful lot of students in them.  They are noisy and drunk.  Thank goodness a person has to stick to the resort they are booked into.  We all start talking about the students.  We have been here before and noticed there a far more than last year and the year before.  We hear some horror stories of students trashing this resort last year.  We know from experience that they can be a royal pain.  A couple of years ago the place we stayed in was trashed while we were there..we had an episode of our luggage being hijacked by a drunk young woman when we arrived the last time we came to Punta Cana.  The more  we talk to people, the more we hear....doesn't spoil our vacation though...the kids aren't staying at our hotel.  There are a few couples, but they are quiet.  Apparently they had a lot of kids at this resort last year and they did $100,000.00 plus damage..even tore apart a local fisherman's boat.  The management refuses to book the students here now.

Our 2 weeks passes fast, and now we have to get ready to come back to reality.  We are both well fed and rested and well kissed by the sun.
At the airport, we meet more people from other resorts and THEY are talking about all the kids and damage they are doing. We all exchange stories, appalled at these kids.  One of the couples we met gives us a bit of advice..Before we book, check out a website called Student City.  It gives all the hotels where the students are staying.
So, I've checked that out.....HOLY CRAP!!! the 2 resorts where we did have problems are 2 of the hotels where they book all the kids!  NO WONDER!...and...they book them as PARTY places...now I know where NOT to go and believe me I will stay away from them.   I also found out that this StudentCity had overbooked ..they placed over 350 kids in other hotels and sent some home.  I also found out that the hotels are now asking for a $1000.00 damage deposit from the kids.
Mind you, we have been there many times and have encountered many students that were friendly, sober and considerate, but it is too bad that so few give so many a bad name.
