Lawyers for Lawrence-Daley say she was so severely beaten that her friends and family didn't even recognize her after she was found.
"Mrs.Lawrence-Daley was bloody, battered and covered with severe abrasions and bruises. Her face and eyes were so bloodied and swollen that she was unable to see. Mrs.Lawrence-Daley lost one of her teeth and required immediate surgery to suture her gum line back together," said lawyers in a statement.
Her wounds were so severe that she spent five days in the hospital and needed surgery.
The resort is closing from August 15 to November 7 because of low occupancy.

In addition to Lawrence-Daley's story, there have been 10 U.S. tourists who have died in the Dominican at various resorts.
"I seek justice, I don't necessarily want to shut a resort down, but I do seek some sort of justice or retribution for what I've gone through," Lawrence-Daley tells Action News.
Lawrence-Daley has filed a $3 million lawsuit against the hotel.
The hotel has previously casted doubt on her story.
