I hadn't really thought about the ancillary businesses being unusable. Bars, Dive shops, etc.
But, we are only going for like 3-4 days. So, it can't be that big of a deal.
All I really need is 2-3 restaurants, one bar, and one dive shop to be up and running by November.

I'm on the fence still really.
If it looks like the hotel is gonna be fine. We'll likely still go.
They are supposed to post a detailed status update today. So, we'll see what that says.

If it looks dire, I'll probably do a song and dance for the airline next week and change our booking to Cayman.

Turks and Caicos Islands

Irma flooded roads, ripped off roofs, and took down trees and power lines. Many hotels reported that they were without power and water on this British overseas territory, which, besides tourism, also relies on offshore financial services and fishing, according to the Central Intelligence Agency. The Sands plans to reopen on Sept. 23. The Palms and the Shore Club plan to reopen on Sept. 30. Club Med Turkoise is not taking new guests through Sept. 30. Alexandra Resort, Blue Haven Resort and Beach House will be closed for arrivals through Oct. 8. Gansevoort Turks & Caicos is not accepting new guests until Nov. 1. The damage to the island is still being assessed.
