Good morning everyone, another beautiful day in paradise.

Yesterday afternoon we had thunder storms role in! IF you like thunder storms it was good....

TOday we have scattered clouds and lots of sun. That makes sun bathing more enjoyable!

We may once again get a thunder storm later on this afternoon. It is hot and slightly humid with the probability of the humidity building thru the day!

Have a great day wherever you are.

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......
Hello,

I'm booked to go on Saturday, September 25 to Puerto Plata (Bahia Principe San Juan). How's the situation over there?

Please advise.

Thanks!

Check out the thread called punta cana. It has some information about the Riu resorts. I am headed there Oct 2 and that thread has the most information.

Good luck.

Well the weather here has certainly changed. We now have some rather nasty black clouds over us. We have thunder and lightening but no rain yet. I expect that will follow soon.

Good morning again, I"m a little late today, too much fun last night.....

Today has started out nice and sunny, hot but with some clouds around. I expect later today the humidity will build and we could get a shower or two.

Yesterday late afternoon we had a fabulous thunderstorm, that is if you like thunderstorms.... I do. It didn't last long at all.

If you are coming down anytime soon - pack your mosquito repellant! Make sure it has a high DEET content or it is useless, over 22% please. With the rains we have had lately we are in the company of those pesky little bugs....... I personally don't like them. Remember if you are coming down to Puerto Plata pack an extra one for me!!!

But, that is the only problem here: a little rain, a few mosquitos, LOTS of sunshine, great beaches, geat music and incredible people......

What a beautiful day in paradise!!! At this time of the morning there isn't a cloud in the sky. It is stunning. I hope it stays like this all day.

It is currently barely hot but it will get hot by about 10 and then hotter still..... Great sunbloc day.

There is absolutely no winds, again that will most likely change later in the day as is the pattern.

If you are coming down soon - pack the bathing suits and sunscreen!!!

Hi, I'm glad to see that it is very nice there in Puerta Plata. My husband and I are going to Puerta Plata, Fun Royale it will be our second time this year and we were wondering what they are calling for weather wise. We are arriving on Oct.2. Hope to hear from you soon. We have checked for weather on the Weather Network but it only shows so far and also if you have any info on any more Huricanes can you please inform me thanks so much
We think this site is very good and were happy to see that you respond to replies.
Thanks Manon
