Everyone in Divi Little Resort either got moved to room with up to 6ppl, no water or electricity. The convention center does have a generator for people who choose to stay over night there, those who didnt get a room or want one. Divi staff & guest are clearing up what they can. Feeding guest three meals a day.
The Dutch and French government have sent Coast Guard and are dropping supplies/food off on the islands.
THE NEWS ISNT COVERING THE FACT THAT THE US GOVERNMENT HAS YET TO SEND HELP TO THE ISLANDS, WHICH HAVE U.S. CITIZENS! STOP COVERING FLORIDA & SEND HELP.
The Latest: "President Donald Trump says "we are with the people of Florida" as Hurricane Irma draws near.
HOW ABOUT SEND HELP TO THE ISLANDS !!!
**Clean up will start on Princess Juliana Internationl Airport after Hurricane Jose passes, is what Divi Guest have been told.
Update, Hurricane Irma on St. Maarten.
We know that everyone is concerned about the guests and staff of Divi Little Bay Beach Resort. We appreciate your support and patience during this time.
At 7:30 this morning, we received a short communication from the Resort’s Assistant General Manager, Mr. Thijs Scheepers. He confirmed that all guests were safe in the main building, which is the location of pureocean restaurant. At that point, the first part of the storm had passed and they were preparing for the second half. The main building is the designated shelter under the Resort’s Hurricane Preparedness Plan because of its solid construction, storm protection devices, food and power (from the generator). There was water in some offices and minor flooding in the storerooms but otherwise the building remains strong, and guests are dry and spread out among the meeting rooms and the restaurant. Unfortunately, the generator was not working at the time of the communication. A small number of guests, approximately six rooms, elected not to relocate to the main building. While we do not have any direct information about these guests, we have no reason to believe that they are not safe as well.
As soon as communications are reestablished, we will provide a further update.
