The weather next week doesn't look all that great... https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/m ... alwx_10day

This comes up all the time. "Showers" just means that it might rain, for some amount of time, at some location within the forecast area. In reality what this means for *you* wherever you are in that area, is that you *might* get a passing shower.

Obviously, it *could* rain a ton but don't get too worked up about the forecast. One of our most fun hot tub sessions was in a driving rain storm...

no, we're not worked up about it, just was hoping for 6 straight days of sun n fun. Last time were there pretty much the same thing, except this forecast looks like a little more cloudiness. I'm sure we'll find things/people to occupy our time if it does rain hard.

Standard weather most of the year is a round of clouds/rain will roll through. Most of them pass around the resort (you can see them inland or out over the sea), some don't. Most of the time when it does rain it's for 2-10 minutes, but it very occasionally rains continuously.

One of our best days at the Pearl was a rainy day. Around 11 we ventured into the spa, got in the hot tub used the sauna etc. Before long two more couples joined us. Well....before we knew it the sun was shining and we were all “very close” friends.

We had rain/showers in the forecast everyday we were there (mid October) it was sunny everyday but one..it rained hard for a couple of hours but it was still 80. Unless you're there during hurricane season I wouldn't even look at the forecast!

For those there now or recently, was wondering how the beach has been, everlasting seaweed or not? We arrive Dec 10?

Just got back and the seaweed was - let's call it moderately heavy. I've seen it much worse and I've seen it a little better. Over the course of a day, they had it fairly well cleaned up - as opposed to making virtually no progress against the incoming hordes that I've seen before. Another example, the beach volleyball would roll into the water relatively unimpeded instead of being trapped in a mound of seaweed that you had to wade into/onto to get the ball.

The usual disclaimer - conditions change all the time.

Also, we had a bit of rain this time. A couple of brief, heavy showers during a couple of days, and a good downpour one night as we were making our way to the pre-disco show.

Didn't matter one bit in the grand scheme of things.
