TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Perch Lite or Perch Bar & Grill?

Whichever its name is now, it's being relocated several meters back, by order of the Coastal Conservatory.
I don't know if the link will work, but it's a photo of the new location - basically where the main parking area is.

I don't know if other people can see the picture or not, but I cannot. They are going to have to re-build the structure? It seems to me to be quite a way from the water now, further back than some of the big restaurants down the beach??

I can see the photo. Thanks for posting. Yeah, Carol, I was thinking the same thing about the location of some of the other restaurants. I'm glad that it's open. I wish Club O owners would get their act together.

Just realized this link is from a private group on Facebook, that explains why one may not be able to view it.

I edited the post to delete the link. I thought it would just include the photo, but it also included comments, and it is a private group. Sorry. Yes, Carol, it is a little further back. The footings are already in place. Maybe Cedrick will post updates, and they are not in a group. Facing the ocean it appears the right front will approximate the left rear of the current structure (if that makes sense).

It was already further back than the other restaurants on the beach?? The big guys paid more to be closer to the water, or what??

It does seem odd. Also, the new boutique is to be moved back and the rocks in front of Papagayo and where Pedro's was located are to be removed.

So taking over much of parking area then? It was full all of January.

Perch Lite was moved last night, a new foundation was built this week, just behind the existing spot and the entire structure lifted by crane onto the new foundation overnight

Do you think they will have bathrooms?

Thank you, U, I was wondering how that would be accomplished. Regarding parking, there should still be plenty, just in a slightly different space. Regarding bathrooms, there are still no utilities.

OK, thanks for the update. Still sounds like so much BS to me, especially since the other places down the beach are closer to the water.
