One thing that was interesting to me was that they are just now apparently thinking that they need to do some improvement to the roads in the area.. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

Not too surprised by the number 8 resto's, 4 shops, 3 water sports and a craft market - 16 licences plus no sub leasing and no other past mistakes??
So we know at least one resto not coming back, who knows who the no sub leasing comment rules out if any? Wonder about the license for the craft market - 1 license to control what could be multiple vendors? - maybe that gets broken down to several licences?
I hope those that ran business's before get a legit chance re open
Regardless, colourful, lighting!!, maybe open evenings! - all good

SXMScubaman said: "Persons, who occupied the original restaurants before their destruction and prior to Hurricane Gonzalo, have first priority to re-occupy the new units." Sounds fair and logical but this will be the case as long as they meet "strict economic and social criteria", according to another article.

Ronalee's uncle/cousin own the company that supplies (at least they used to supply) the lounges at Club Orient. One of the times I was there I looked on one of the lounges to see their company name. I think they want durability versus comfort.

Well, not quite as bad as the hard plastic chairs at our local Y. That's why we bought chair pads; they worked well at the Y, we'll also us them at Club Orient. We've never used the Pedro's chairs, but might try them before we transfer to Club O.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

We would always put several towels on the Club O chairs - the ones they give you plus the beach towels we would pack.

After sitting in those my rear is numb.

Absolutely nothing, but as is so often the case, in the course of dealing with the main topic we get side-tracked and it becomes a work in progress and evolves from response to response. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
