We will be staying in the Hoteur Villas Doradas Beach Resort, will this be okay? we have asked the agent and they have said it was not hit, Is the hotel any good and what are the surroundings like. This is our first time to the DR.
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 !!!
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!!!
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.
...........seems to be all up and running... we even have power today! From driving around, (yesterday we were in all areas from Playa Dorado to Santiago) except for damage to signs that have to be replaced, everyting seems normal now.
