Dominican Republic and hurricane season?
My friend and I are visiting DR in late August/ early September. We have concerns about booking an all-inclusive week-long vacation and having it canceled / ruined due to heavy rain, winds, or a hurricane.
I read on Trip Advisor that the northern part of the country (I’m guessing around Puerto Plata) is immune to hurricanes. Is there truth to that? Are we picking the worst time to go?
Hi Alex Z.,
I live for many years in Puerto Plata and we never had any serious problems with hurricanes. Late August/begin September is as good as any time, it is possible you will have sometimes a bit of rain (10 to 20 min) but nothing to spoil your day or your vacations. In Puerto Plata you will have both worlds: Good resorts with big beach and so much to do! If you need more info just contact me platiniumtrav@codetel.net.do and I will be happy to help you. The unique excursion of Isabela Historica is now available but not in hotels.
Happy Feet
