Couples Resorts announced that all four of its properties -Couples Ocho Rios, Couples Sans Souci, Couples Negril and Couples Swept Away- are open and ready to welcome guests. Only minor landscaping damages were reported at each resort.
Barceló Hotels & Resorts reported that its hotels in Cancun and along Mexico's Riviera Maya coast have not sustained any major damage from Hurricane Dean and remain fully operational with all services and power.
Felix Gonzalez Canto, governor of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, declared a Yellow Alert for the entire northern part of the state, including Cancun, Cozumel, Holbox, Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya and Puerto Morelos, after Hurricane Dean hit the Yucatan Peninsula.
The eye of Hurricane Dean spared St. Lucia’s tourism infrastructure from its wrath as it past north of the island as a Category 2 storm last Friday.
