Caravanserai Resort still
waiting for building permit
BEACON HILL--The building has been demolished, the debris has been cleared, and the site is now a vacant space as Caravanserai Beach Resort awaits its building permit to start work on its US $25 million upgrading.
The Island Council is expected to debate the issuance of a building permit to the resort on Monday, September 25. Government’s Committee of Experts has completed its report on the resort’s request and submitted it to Environmental Development and Property Management Commissioner Roy Marlin last week.
This committee report and other relevant documents will be passed to the Island Council for a decision on the permit.
Resort General Manager Ron Verhaar told The Daily Herald, “We are hoping for good news on September 25.”
The first section of the existing resort building was demolished two months ago to make way for 42 ocean view timeshare units and 12 hotel rooms. This phase will include the hotel and timeshare units, an infinity edge pool, a children’s pool and a Jacuzzi.
This phase, the second phase of 20 full-ownership condos scheduled to commence in April 2007, and some 66 present rooms will increase the resort’s room inventory to more than 200 rooms, bringing it into consideration for the casino licence it has so far been denied by Government.
