what I've heard is that HRDR is larger. And since OBH sold out, they need to expand. That sucks though, really. I would've thought if they were selling 2x as many tickets it would be cheaper.

Punta - about 99% certain

thats a bit dramatic.

I'd much rather have it in the DR and that doubles my flight distance. Now that I missed OBH2, I almost am glad. Simply because if I went, I would feel ripped for having my only 2 trips to the tropics be in a place that does not have a beach. Maybe I'm not like everyone else here, but the beach, and MMJ are the ONLY 2 reasons I would go to Riviera Maya, or DR. I want both if I am sinking $2K+ into it. I could go to Europe for 4 times longer on that $$

I looked up a random weekend in Feb at the Hard Rock DR and it was about $300 per person per night, which is similar to the cost at Hard Rock Playa.  I'm thinking the cost would be similar for an OBH in DR compared to Playa. However, if the costs were indeed $1500 per night that would be a deal breaker for me.

I'm with you. I was turned off at OBH1 because of the fake beach. Certainly didn't ruin my time, but the set up made it feel more like Florida than a foreign country.

i may have got it all wrong and i hope i have and prices may be simmilar i am just going on the prices for cloud 9's "panic en playa"featuring widespread panic at hrdr(google panic en playa widespread panic)prices started for that at $1500 pp per night

[timescaper]

Which is $100 more without the loyalty discount so assume that still applies $100 more for real beach and casino would be well worth it

The cheapest room for Panic in La Playa was $1500 per person for 4 nights. The pricing structure seemed very similar to OBH. I'm hoping for Punta Cana 2016!

[redpatoka]

hope that is the case it does look good,but confusing reading the pricing $1500 PER NIGHT for 4 nights is ok  ...and a beach

Being from So. Cal. I have spent very much time at the beach. The older I get, the less likely I will go in the water, because the Pacific ocean, north of SD is NOT warm. So to look at 75 degree water for 4 days, and the only way to touch it is in a fake lagoon, left me with vacation PTSD. I will spend 95% of my spare time in the ocean if that is the option. Pools are for apartment complexes, not the beach.

So gorgeous

I so hope it's not at the DR. Not a fan. Went to panic last year and I don't like the venue as much as the hard rock in playa. Granted you'll get the stage on the actual beach, but to me that's not really better. The sound is not near as good. Multiple nights dancing in the sand is physically brutal. The people in the DR are not as nice and accommodating as in Mexico. The resort is HUGE!!!! If you're in one of the farther buildings, it is REALLY far. Granted, I ain't missing OBH3, but I am totally fine if they do one more year at the hard rock in playa and then change.

[gluvmiller]

The food at the hard rock in the DR is DEFINITELY NOT better. The best meal there as well as in the riviera maya was at the hibachi grill (imo).

I heard that HRHRM was a 3 year contract, and they are considering moving it after next year. 

[smhoffmann02]

Any insiders have a feel for whether there's any truth to the 3-yr contract statement or if HRHDR truly a solid contender?
