Posted on FB this morning:

This is not the update we expected to be sending out to you. Once again, the insurance company for the Copro has delayed payment of the funds necessary for our rebuilding. If you are frustrated by the delays, you can imagine how we feel.
The latest missive from the insurance company is the earliest funds will be made available will be October, no guarantee, but they see that as a possibility. Their reasoning is not worth repeating in the letter and Copro hopes to receive funds sooner but understands that it is possible it could just as easily be longer.
This means that our ability to re-open this coming season has unfortunately all but evaporated.
So, OBC has decided that it is simply not fair to continue to hold the advance deposits from all of you who were kind enough to allow us to retain them up to now.
Florence will begin to return advance deposits to everyone who has them on hold for a future stay. This will take a bit of time, as some of the credit cards are no longer valid, have expired or have other issues. She will contact you to confirm your credit card information prior to issuing the refund or you may contact her directly at reservations@cluborient.com.
We’re sorry for the bad news about more delays, but both the Copro and us (OBC) are doing everything we can to try and move forward and not let the seemingly endless obstructions deter us from our goal of getting Club Orient back to the paradise we all remember.
Naturally,
Stephen Payne
Director
