I have no idea WHO currently owns the land but one could surmise somebody has to own it and they may view this as an opportunity to address a situation they have not liked for some time.
One our first visit to SXM (via a cruise in 1991) we swam at Mullet Bay and enjoyed a $4 beer at the one beach bar in the picture.
Could have changed recently, but ALL the property including the golf course, known as Mullet Bay Resort and Casino, is still said to be held by the Ansary (Ansari?) family and for sale to anyone with deep, deep pockets. It’s been rumored that Trump looked at it but felt it was over-priced and there was too much Island corruption to deal with.
The property the Tower(s) at Mullet Bay sits on was lopped off many years ago and is supposedly the only parcel that has been lopped off the original Resort property.
