What are the chances of being denied entry to the Dominican Republic?

I'm 16 years old and travelling to the Dominican with my extended family (grand parents, cousins, uncles, aunts) and their family friends. My parents are not coming along due to work conflicts. I will have a travelling abroad under the care of another guardian form and signed by a notary (lawyer). What are the chances of me being denied entry due to me not having my parents with me?

I'm only ask this because when I went to Cuba last year and tried to get through customs first with my cousins (parents were taking their sweet time in the gift shop), the customs officer just stared at me and ask me when my parents were like they were going to deny my departure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Update:

just stared at me and ask me where* my parents were

    Well your case is not the only, and certainly if you come with those papers signed will not have problems.

    I should think that you would be OK BUT do stick close to your official guardian whilst going through the DR's customs and immigration (in both directions). I've had a similar experience the Customs guy on entry to Cuba couldn't figure out why I didn't have a Canadian passport when I got off a Canadian aircraft. I had one from another country, and he gave me some funny looks until he was happy that it was kosher.
