Good morning

Well this is my first weather report! Silly me, I volunteered to help so will do my best.

Today - hot and sunny, not looking like it will rain tonight. Some breeze right now which helps cool things off just a bit......

The sun will set tonight and I'm pretty sure it will come up tomorrow!

Tomorrow - not sure yet, I'll let you know what I see when I open my eyes!

I am from Belgium. My daughter left september 18 for one week at Bahia Principe in Puerto Plata. Got a very short call from her saying they finally arrived - then line was cut. How is the situation ??? On belgian TV they report on heavy damages and problems for tourists????
A worried mum !!!

Thank you for your reply.

FYI, I called my sister at the Coral Marien last night, phone lines were working. 809 320-1515.. Shouldn't be a problem to get through now.

What is your sister's take on what has happpened? Are all the cafes and eating places open and is everything working? More importantly, is she having a good time! Thanks!!!

Riu Resort in Puerto Plata still operational?

My husband and I will be flying into Puerto Plata on the 25th Sept. to the Riu resort (riu bachata, mambo or merengue). Does anyone know the status of the condition in any of these resorts? We have been saving for a long time for this trip and will be very dissapointed if they cancel us. We do not have travel insurance either. I've tried calling the Riu but doesn't seem to get through. Thanks.

Do not think your trip will be cancelled. This area is basically one of cleanup of branches and repairs that can be completed rapidly. Puerto Plata is rapidly getting back to normal.

Monday Sept 20, 8:40 am

Good morning, it is a stunning day here in Puerto Plata!!! If you are coming here on holiday soon, you will hardly know we had a storm here. Your holiday will go ahead as planned.

Today there is not a cloud in the sky, it is a definate high SPF on the beach day. There is almost no breeze at all. The forecast is for more of the same.

Isn't today or tomorrow the first day of fall??? Isn't it a great time to plan your holiday to the Dominican Republic!!!

Clean up here is well under way. There is still some visible damage but nothing that will interfere with your holiday plans. Come on down!

If you have any questions about individual resorts, feel free to email them......

What about the beaches around the Marien Coral by Hilton?

Hi there, I am directly across from the Coral Marien hotel, dont' worry things are fine!!! There are trees down and branches everywhere but there is no structural damage!

Relax, you will enjoy your honeymoon.

As for Breezes, while I am about 30 minutes from there, I am told there is no substantial damage there either. If I find out different I will send you a PM....

Again thanks for the reply. What about the beaches around the Marien Coral by Hilton? Were they damaged? Thanks.

 

[planner]

No real damage, but the water is still a little higher then normal.

Cannot Find info IN RIU TAINO?

I emailed the resort (RIU TAINO) - have not heard back yet. Our travel rep had no clue that there were problems. Any info will be appreciated. We are scheduled to leave the 24th - Had a bad vacation early this summer with lots of rain and sickness....don't think I could do a repeat of that ...(was not at the DR.)

Casa Marina Reef & Beach

Just wondering what the status of Casa Marina Reef and Beach is? Heading there in Nov/04

 

[charlie b]

Hi

I am off to the Casa Marina in October so I would love to know if it has been affected. Also Lilli we will see you there if you are honeymooning on the 16th . : :

 

[Dolores1]

Casa Marina Reef is in Puerto Plata. Puerto Plata was one of the areas to most quickly recover and should be back to normal.
