No shacks anymore. Several pictures have been posted previously after the new buildings were completed. If you do a search, you will find pictures.

Why is it in today's world, people seem too lazy to type something in, press a couple of keys and usually get the answer they want. It is like this on every travel forum.

Maybe the OP has seen the pictures that were posted and was hoping for more shots of how the buildings had been "personalized" to suit each of the businesses now that they had been up and running for a bit.

EXACTLY the reason I was asking about pics. I posted the question because I always get very helpful responses from this group. I saw the photos taken throughout the months of construction and afterward as well, but I hadn't seen any very recent photos of the businesses in a while and I just wanted to see how they were looking. Maybe photos taken from new angles, etc. Oh, well, no problem. I'll see them for myself in October.

I didn't have any problem with your question either. There haven't been many pictures posted recently. Hopefully you guys can post some pictures upon your return! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Mmk's response unkind and unnecessary

Let's see if these come through. Pictures are taken from Orange Fever looking up and down the beach. It really looks quite nice, now that the vendors have added their own touches.

Thanks for posting. Looks like there was still kind of a 'ledge' by the water at that time..

I like the guy in the picture passing out the $50 bills. I think he will be there again in November! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

I really appreciate your kind words. Thanks very much. I actually was sort of taken aback by mmk's comment, but I guess there's rude people like that "on any travel forum." (kidding)

Ann and Steve, thankyou for these beautiful photos !!! That's exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to check out how well things had progressed at this late date. Even though we really fell in love with Club Orient and the Perch, we'll definitely want to check out these new buildings now that they are all up and running again and looking so awesome ! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />

There seems to be hardly a soul at the places photographed.

Does anyone know if any of the beach bars in the new development north of Pedro's are open for breakfast or are planing to be during high season.


Are we there yet?

I read on another site that Chez Leandra and Brothers Restaurant are offering breakfast.
