I am at the omni right now. The beach has not opened officially, but I am told that drinks were served to people on the beach. Only half of the pool is open. Di Vinci opened yesterday. I posted a longer update yesterday on another tread. I will let you know what the beach is like tomorrow. Went to Xel-ha today.

Fun4Ever,

Thanks for the heartwarming post. We're arriving at the Omni on Sunday. The middle-aged hippie drinking coffee stabbing at his laptop late at night? It's probably me.

Help...does not sound good! We usually ski Colorado at break. Please keep the posts up. At $1000 a day in a decimated Cancun we can still cancel.My last trip to Mexico was the Four Seasons in Punta Mita, going to Nevis next...

Hope more will open.

I will take some pictures tomorrow and post them Sunday. The palapas are coming up. Many are in the ground and they started putting the thatch on the tops. Saw FunForever here. Great to hear from another trippie.

Being advised helps with having a good vac. I will try to get in the City tonight. Will see what happens.

We're home. And I think i could go as far as saying "The Omni is Back". Now there were dissapointments. Based on what I was told would be done. But they are working very hard at getting it done. I would like to go back in a month and see the progress. The main reasons I say they are back are 90% of the employees came back. The wait staff is ready to serve and is excited to see people there. The food was great. the sun was out Most of the time and Marisol and Carlos were working very hard to please the members that like us had to deal with room hassels. When I figure out how, I will add pics I took of the work being done at Pina Colada and Kuku's.

Here they are. Latest pics. A couple of days were so awesome that there is no doubt why we go to Cancun. There is nothing like the low surf and a 84 degree sunny day. The water was warm and wonderful.

Great Pictures, thanks. The beach looks better than I thought it would. We were there last August and the coral along the waters edge was bad, although it's hard to tell it might actually be better now. Looking forward to my next trip in June.

Based on the progress you've seen, do you think Kuku's and Pina Colada's will be ready by the beginning of May?
