After years of abandonment at the failed Four Seasons Resort project at Walmer Lodge, St Michael, the site of the former Paradise Beach Hotel is set for a major facelift.

The announcement was made by Prime Minister Mia Mottley, who revealed that Government had already begun negotiations with a US-based entity to construct a luxury hotel on that site within the next three years.

Construction on the US$600 million Four Seasons project, which was to see a 110-room hotel and 35 private villas being built, ground to a halt in 2009 after the original developers ran out of money.
