It's hard to envision where they would put nearly 100 more rooms, unless they are just hotel rooms instead of the larger units they have otherwise,


Yes, there was a casino on site(alhambra casino, as I recall) , It was in the building where you check in now, which was destroyed by the hurricane. There has been much talk about restoring it thru the years,but it seems to have an impasse between Divi and the government. One could only speculate on that.
As far as adding rooms, there is really no open space other then up the hill, which again seems unlikely..
