What should we know about hurricane season?
The hurricane season runs from June through mid-to-late November across most destination wedding locations, but resorts are well-prepared and risks are manageable. Popular destinations like Cancun, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Punta Cana, and Jamaica all follow a similar seasonal pattern.
Key insights:
Hurricanes can be tracked days in advance, giving time to prepare
Resorts actively monitor weather systems and issue alerts
Staff follow established emergency protocols
At the resort level:
Buildings are designed to withstand storms
Guests may remain in their rooms during minor storms
For stronger hurricanes, guests are moved to secure areas like ballrooms or theaters
In rare cases, relocation away from the beachfront may occur
It’s important to note that comfort levels may change during a storm:
Possible power outages
Limited food service options
Restricted movement around the resort
However, staff remain on-site to assist guests at all times.
Key Takeaway:
Hurricanes are predictable and resorts are fully prepared, giving you time to adjust plans and stay safe.
