Hi Anyone!!!
My Girlfriend And I Have A Holiday Booked For The First 2 Weeks Of
September To The Ocean Bavaro Hotel.
Could Anyone Please Advise What Effects Hurricane Dean Has Left And Whether It Would Pay To Cancel For Another Time?
Weve Been Looking Forward To This Holiday For Such A Long Time
Were Totally Gutted!!
Thanks All

The entire DR was very lucky with regard to Dean.... he didn't even scratch the surface and, today, we just have a slightly overcast sky and a cooler breeze than sometimes but all windows and doors open, still in shorts and T-shirts. We moved here from Devon, England to the North coast in June of last year and, as yet, have not visited the Punta Cana are but am sure you will have a great time in lovely Caribbean sunshine. Enjoy.... and don't be gutted at all.

Hi and many thanks for your reply.

All we need now is for that sky to break and plenty of sunshine hey!!
Please keep us posted of any developments.

We're heading over on Thursday, should we expect sun?? All the weather reports say scattered thunder storms??

Hi Lisa,
You sound as concerned as we are though we have just seen a better forcast for when we go on 3rd sept. Reports now seem to be saying storms but looking more promising a week or so ahead with highs of 32 fingers crossed!! Where abouts are you staying? We got reports for punta cana.
