No damage reported

August 21, 2007 4:46 pm CancunCanuck Previous Hurricanes Archive

Sooooooo many comments and questions about specific hotels, I just can’t respond individually to them all, sorry! I can say this. There is NO damage reported in Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, Cozumel or Playa del Carmen. That should answer most of the comments, lol. Seriously, it’s just a bit of sweeping and that’s it. The beach has not disappeared though there is some serious wave action that should last a few days. The beach improved on Isla Mujeres. Tulum and Akumal appear to be alright with some small exceptions. There is a good list for those areas here http://www.locogringo.com/research/hurricaneStatus.cfm. The sea is still blue, though it is rough right now, that should clear up soon.

All in all, if you have an upcoming trip planned, I would say you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Make sure to check your trip insurance, specifically the hurricane clause!

    Thank you all for the comments and information. I really would like to know if anyone has any news on how Punta Allen weathered? My mom, Sirena, and many friends live there. Mom’s ok and in Cancun, but have not heard anything about Punta. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    I would like to thank everyone on here for your information and comments. I like many others relied on your updates and looked forward to them. It was this blog that we decided to continue on to Cancun. The news media was very discouraging, but on here, it was telling it like it really was.

    Thank you!
