(Aug 01/2006)(9:00EST)(MP)(#270169)Please be advised of the following:
In an effort to help reduce crime, The Dominican government has issued an immediate ban on the Sale of Liquor in Discotheques, bars, colmadones, Liquor stores and Casinos after midnight from Sunday to Thursday, and after 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays. As the Discotheque "MANGU" at the Occidental Grand Punta Cana is also open to the public, the new law will affect the Disco and therefore clients will not be able to consume alcohol after midnight from Sunday to Thursday and after 2am on Fridays and Saturdays. Alcohol will only be served to clients in the hotel lobby until 1 am, after this the clients will not be able to consume alcohol.The hotels in the Dominican are trying to work something out with the government to make allowances for Tourist Areas, but at present they have not come to a conclusion and the ban will continue in effect. All other hotels that have discos that are not open to the public are not being affected.
