Add a kitchen that can turn the place over two times a night, a bar, freezer, cold storage, dry storage, managers office, employee lockers and you are talking a minimum of 10,000 square feet! It's not what you've got, it's what you give, it's not the life you choose, it's the life you live.

I seriously doubt it's a Driftwood property. JasonHelmbrecht Coconut Breeze Villas Cane Garden Bay reservations@coconutbreezevillas.com www.coconutbreezevillas.com
