The meeting went on for some time with a huge amount of protest which I fear, may be ignored in the long run. The whole thing sounded a nightmare and more suitable for Miami or some place similar. When asked ( by me amongst others ) how the present tiny beach would be big enough for so many people, we were told that the majority would use the pools. There will be, if I remember correctly, something like 5 pools and the hotel will house around 500 guests. Īll will be constructed with glass and concrete.
The first building will be 7 stories high, the second, 5 stories and the last one, nearest the beach, will be 3. If the original plans are actually passed, the hotel will be made up of three buildings built right up the the edge of the road.
Unfortunately, if the Royalton is eventually built to plan, it will not blend in, in any way at all ,especially considering that this is an historic area where Barbados was first founded.
