How is the beach post-Hurricane Dean?

Basically, and I caution that it's hard to track down solid info, an Italian develper is building yet another condo complex across the street from Delfines (one wonders where the stores and roads are that will support all these 18 floor wonders). The story is that the developer also managed to buy a good part of Delfines to erect a sort of beach club for the condo. After much posturing about how Delfines was for the people, the land was sold, based on a promise by the developer to "maintain public access". Now, it appears as though the government is trying to buy back the land it sold, or at least that is the story. Somehow, it rings hollow. As Dangers (and Joni Mitchell) said, "They've paved paradise and put up a parking lot." The only difference is the color of the taxi.

 

I wasn't questioning your answer...I was simply asking a question.

 

And in re-reading my reply, I realize the tone was wrong. Obviously, this is an emotional issue for my family (one of our sons also owns a condo on Retorno del Rey) and I let it creep into my reply. Sorry if I offended you.

 

Anyone been up near the Riu Carobe lately?? How is that hotel doing?

 

Now I think I know what the project is, it is called Bay View Grand Island and it is being built to the west of the Hilton's golf course. It looks like a beautiful project with several buildings. It is supposed to be ready by October of 2009 and one of the selling points is that there will be a beach club, since obviously the development is going to be overlooking the lagoon. I doubt very highly that BVG Island would sell their rights to a beach club back to the government.
