Puerto Plata - Weather Report

[planner]

Thanks Grahame, first I have seen of this site. Looks inteteresting!

Now about saying anyting other then Have a great day - No way baby..... Even if it is raining buckets, you still have to have a great day.........

The clean up continues. There is still lots of debris around, lots of mud but crews are out cleaning, trucks are hauling junk away.......... We have been a bit hampered by additional rain and I am sure (thanks to Grahame ) that more is on the way!

Now...............
................................Have a great day.

Oh dear! I hope it clears up before we go on 6th May. Hope everyone over there is safe and well.

Hi
I have just discovered this board because I have friends that just arrived on Sunday to Puerto Plata for their first ever Caribbean vacation. After reading this board I am worried about them as I haven't received any e-mails from them yet. Could it be possible they have no power at their resort? I hope they arrived safely. They were to be staying at the Bahia Principe San Jaun I believe. Hope the weather improves for everyone!
Thanks.

Hey, They are on HOLIDAY for goodness sakes!!!

They arrived mid afternoon (presumably), had to travel 1 hour 30 minutes to Rio San Juan, get settled into an hotel & then find a bit of time to RELAX!!! Today is only TUESDAY & it is just 10.22 our time!! That's less than 48 hours in the country & you are expecting e-mail contact???? This is the Caribbean where Manana is the 'keyword'!!

That would be a tight schedule for sending you an e-mail under normal circumstances but with all the bad weather around it is just too much to expect an immediate e-mail - maybe the 'phone lines are down; maybe the computer area (if the hotel has one) got washed out; maybe they are just on the beach chilling (seems like a good word to use this morning due to the cold around!!) out!

Start worrying if you haven't heard by Thursday or Friday!! ~ Grahame.
(Sorry to hijack this thread 'planner' - move it to another forum if you so prefer!)

Wow, Not quite the response I was expecting. I have their 4 and 6 year old children with me for the week and they are anxiously awaiting an e-mail from Mom and Dad. She had palnned on trying to e-mail yesterday. Of course no one anticipated the events of the past few days. Sorry for wasting your time.

If you're concerned why don't you contact the hotel? That way you'll discover if the phone line is out, won't you? I'm sure the parents of the 2 children left the phone & fax numbers and email address of the hotel with you.

And if they didn't try 1-809- 226-1590 for phone, and 1-809- 226-1994 for fax. Email you might not get a speedy response to, but you could try info.sanjuan@bahia-principe.com When you call the hotel don't worry if you don't speak Spanish - they'll have people who speak English.

Once again, sorry planner, for going off the weather issue to deal with a matter that could have been solved by the poster using their telephone.

I wonder if I am the only one having problems with this site? I tried to post a few times and it is just not working.

So, lets try again.... Today we are mostly overcast and a bit cooler then normal. We've had a bit of rain today as well. Hopefully this will clear away soon as it really isn't normal for this time of year.

Hamneggs - sorry you are worried about your friends. I've heard of no big problems out that way so don't worry. It is a good idea just to try calling the hotel.....

Have a great day.

Hi planner

I hope its not normal because i got your chocolate and newspaper in return for that good weather you promised me and my family for the 11th april to 25th april.
How far is it from the golf course in playa dorada to the riu merengue?

[planner]

Nope it isn't normal. I have made a call to the head honcho and I've been promised better weather soon!

The golf course in Playa Dorada is about 20 to 25 minutes (depends who's driving) to the RIU complex.

See you soon.
