I seriously doubt the "Towers" they're referencing is our Towers, Leona. Much as I love my timeshare there, I'd be hard pressed to consider it the 'premier' resort on the island. It definitely was - once upon a time - but that was a long, long time ago, pre '95 at least. I'm just guessing but thinking the 'towers' the other poster is refering to are the tower-like buildings - The Cliffs, Sapphire and Rainbow along with the Blue Mall - along the main road through Cupecoy. Most don't even know where our Towers is, set back by itself off the main road the way it is. And truthfully, much as I hate to see the island go this route, if they MUST build these behemoths, I just wish they'd tuck them away out of sight much as they did with our place as opposed to along the sea coast the way they are doing and blocking the view everyone came for in the first place.

We are sitting on our balcony at the Waikiki Beach Marriott and even as pretty as this stretch of Waikiki is, I can't help but think how Miami Beach-like it is and how much more beautiful the open beach areas are by comparison. But that's just my opinion......and we all know about opinions, right? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

And while I disagree with the present day comparison of that area to Las Vegas, if they keep it up it may become that way. Doesn't the STARZ property have some kind of plans to build their own mega-story resort at some point? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
