Extremely unfortunate.
Looks like at least parts of the fire are slowly being contained though.
This blog (although from managers of a property in tdp) seems to have a map and reasonably frequent updates. Las Torres Hotel Blog (http://www.lastorres.com/blog/)
I was in the process of putting together a trip for late Feb. Weighing the options on going ahead.
Any thoughts?
