What's the weather like at the moment?

[el_loco]

Yep. Package. It's too close to the holiday to change the hotel, unless the hotel is un-usable. And apparently they have said it's fine!

Very surprised by this, I had a booking for Sunday at the Fergus, did it directly via their webpage. They just wrote that they are 'not checking in any more people until Oct 7th'. Offered free cancellation. So you probably gonna hear from easyjet again

Yeah, I hope you're right

Easyjet have pulled out a clause which means no alternative option for me. Fergus it is!

The water is mostly gone now. Couple inches left which hope gone in morning when have to drag my suitcase....

We have a villa booked from Saturday 4thOct in Cala Llonga. Owner emailed to say everything is fine and there was no major incidents that end of the island so nothing to worry about.

Just received same email regarding no check in at Fergus until Oct. 7th with offer to cancel.

Yeah literally watching that from my balcony

Army turned up. Then a jcb. Must be proper blocked up. Been at it hours.

And another one from Nassau:

Beaches of Cala Carbo and Cala Moli also wrecked, but of course not so much as PDB. Both looked really bad, huge swathes of sand washed into the ocean, making holes into the beach, a now dry riverbed formed where the water rushed to the sea, debris everywhere.

 

[grassman]

Yeah the hotel is working fine except to get to and from rooms you gotta go for a swim at minute.

I'm hoping they unblock the drains soon, so by afternoon its gone.

Pool won't be usable though.

I should have booked the twiins again

Edit: I suspect you might have to go to different hotel anyhow as all ground floor rooms out of action now.

How's it looking this morning?

 

[MrHullMysterious]

How's it looking this morning?l

Look at my FB post for latest video.

But basically all the water gone, now an army of staff clearing the floor of silt etc.

So think end of today pool area be fine.

The pool will need complete draining and refill, but no idea how long that would take or if worth it before end of season.


This post from one of guests staying on ground floor (so many solos staying at this hotel and I had no idea)

Well that took a turn fast 😭 this is the Fergus style Bahamas hotel btw.. I wouldn’t try to check in here if you’ve got it booked. We’ve now moved and managed to save a lot of things but that was...

So those of us returning to the North of UK this weekend have another dose of weather to look forward to. easyJet have already informed me there's likely to be delays or cancellations, Manchester is in the fringe if the amber alert area.

If easyJet contacted me and offered a flight to Gatwick instead I might take that and stay overnight and the train home in Sunday!

Fingers crossed anyway - just in case been looking at prices for Ibiza town hotels if an overnight is needed, kinell almost all well over a ton. easyJet, and/or my insurers will get the bill!

Talking to some people, it seems they not checking anyone in anymore and at reception are moving people to other hotels.

But some are quite a way out of pdb which is a bit pants.

So no idea what will happen when you get there.

Perhaps if you had already a non ground floor room booked you be checked in?

(Maybe this should be under a new thread or hotels discussion?)

Easyjet have told me it's going ahead as planned

How are the buses from the port to the airport running in luding the express? I expect the local bus runs it's usual route, the express takes a diversion? Traffic heavier on the old roads bypassing the flooded motorway?

When I was leaving, the tunnel at bottom of pdb was not only still full of water, but mountains of mud and silt.

The traffic was going a different, and looked pretty slow moving tbh.

Thanks, on Sat I'll leave an hour earlier to cover any delay, looks like a mammoth job to clear up. Hopefully weekend traffic will be lighter.

Airport road is absolutely fine now btw.

 

[Michael1982]

Can confirm road from airport to PDB is open and no problems.
PDB itself at least the strip around Bora Bora not noticeable that there was anything out of the ordinary. Didn’t venture down further towards Beachhhouse, Nassau, Tanit so can‘t comment on how it is down there.

As we had to cancel Fergus, we went to Ebano in PDB and no issues whatsoever.

Weatherwise absolutely beautiful!! Sun out, light breeze, no aircon needed in the room as can just leave the balcony open. Perfect!

Really feel for the areas affected by the rainstorm and hope they can get it sorted. But as for the areas we’ve seen so far, they’ve done an amazing job.

Amazed how ‘normal’ Figueretas & Ibiza Town are and how quickly things have been cleaned up - very impressed.

I appreciate that Playa D’en Bossa and Marina Botafoch are an entirely different matter.

Not good for any business to have flood damage but at least Bossa was coming to the end of its season and has time to recover. Whereas Ibiza Town and Figuertas have year round businesses that need to keep going quickly.

A few places in San Antonio near the front closing earlier than I expected too - Bamboo and some Vibra hotels.
