... It looks like they took down the tarp awnings and built something more substantial. Am I right or can you just not see it in these pictures ...

Sun Beach, built a roof and then put the tarp back on top
Aloha [for sure] and Le String [I think] took down the tarp and the 2 white supporting poles [major trip hazard]and built hard roofs.
I'm told the tarps were supposed to stay per the lease [hence the SunBeach approach]- but they offer zero rain protection and with the tarp's lack of protection the resto front doors have to close when it rains. No way to add side curtains to the tarps [scalloped tarp design]. Note the orginal drawing [check out the signboard on site at the north end near the new bathrooms] it clearly shows timber roof frames albeit with what appears to be a white fabric roof, but those might have worked and allowed side curtains to be installed. Guessing the tarp was a last minute creative/cost saving feature by someone who does not understand it rains somewhat sideways in the trades!
