Default Update on Punta Cana

Just an update, albeit a little late. I just came back from Punta Cana and it was practically untouched, the same day Dean passed us by we drove from Santo Domingo to Bavaro, it was windy and drizzling in Punta Cana but there were people in the beach, Sunday was hot and sunny and so was today when I left at 2PM.

He uses an unusual hosting site that often fails.
Sometimes refreshing the page a few times can get them to come up.

Nope.....says it's re-routing to a new site but just his main webpage comes up.
I guess he's switching them to a new site.....
I'll try again later....

Ok....they're back. Guess he's done...

I just returned from Hostal Zapata in Boca Chica. When I left today the sun was back out and most of the beach cleanup is complete. I was not there Saturday or Sunday morning but it seems a lot of sand wash partially up the small streets that lead to the beach. Last night they had a bulldozer removing some of the larger pieces of debris.

You should be OK with your trip..........Enjoy

Default Punta Cana this upcoming week

Hi Everyone,

I have a trip with my family booked to Punta Cana for a week starting Saturday with my family. How are things there? What is the weather supposed to be like? ONline it says scattered thunderstorms and rain. Is it likely to clear up for next week?

Thanks!
