"Terrible destruction. No yellow sub,no Bikini, no La Playa or Waikiki. looks like the roof of Cote Plage is caved in, part of the roof of Table d'Antoine is gone. Just awful."

Unbelievable destruction in that video! I don't think they'll recover for years. So very sad.

The concrete buildings are still standing with the windows, doors and interior just gone. Most roofs are heavily damaged. It will take years to bring it back.

I have talked with people who have talked with staff. It appears everyone is ok. From what I understand, plans are to rebuild but it will take time. We too have reservations and have paid deposits. I'm sure it is going to take time to get to financial records and such. They have no way to contact anyone at this point. We are considering our deposit a small gift toward rebuilding....they are like family to us. Just heartbreaking....

Here is an email I received 10/9/2017

Good afternoon
 
I’m very pleased to inform you that all the staff of La Playa Kelly Sandy Patricia are alive and safe.
 
Unfortunately the hotel has a lot of damages and will be closed for a while. We will post some information sometimes in our web site to let you inform about the evolution of the hotel
 
Hope you and all your family
 
We hope to welcome and see you very soon
 
Take care and thanks again for your message
