That's quite old news by now. And, do you really consider that property a loss? It was widely panned by nearly everyone as a property that suffered on many fronts:

- on the rainy side of the island, prone to significantly more wet hours than other parts

- a mediocre staff. This was consistently reported on just about every review site you can find on the web.

- a physical plant that was in real need of attention


From a distance, the place looked great and had (has?) an awful lot of potential. I hope the new owners can sink some energy and money into it and make it a world class beach resort.
