All that I know is that it is closed until Oct 1.
We had been scheduled to be there 9/25 - 10/2 ao we've
been rescheduled. We're currently planning on
10/2 - 10/9 so we're hoping the damage was relatively
minor. The Club Med Web site has this info, and we got
essentially the same info through our TA.

From what I know of the Columbus Isle construction,
construction in general, and hurricanes, I'd guess that
they had a lot of 'superficial' damage (roof singles,
wood trim pieces, etc.). Depending on just what
directions the winds came from, I suspect the sailing
shack may be 'history'.....

Here's an update to my earlier reply... My TA called
a little while ago and Columbus Isle will now be closed for
(at least) two months... through the end of October.
The "official" reason is that the runway was damaged and it needs
to be repaired before they can bring in many/any customers.
Lack of a good runway may also slow down repairs.

Rather than wait another month, we've "diverted" to Turkoise.
