These photos were taken on Monday August 27, just six days after Hurricane Dean passed through. The hotel sustained very little damage in the storm and re-opened after a brief clean-up.

Al Cielo has also announced a range of new services for guests. Tai Chi lessons are now available on the beach at 7 a.m. from Tuesday to Friday mornings. One lesson per person is now included in the rates at this exquisite small hotel. And from October 1st Al Cielo's guests can book excursions in the hotel's private catamaran - ideal for romantic sunset cruises!
