Yesterday Sotavento started renting chairs and umbrellas. They looked like nice ones (at 6:30am it's a bit hard to tell).

Today during our paddle we loved the juxtaposition of the earth moving equipment working right behind the chairs!

No, we don't know any other details, just what we have seen.

Are you sure they didn't just let Promotora de Playas put their chairs and umbrellas there to rent out? How odd that a condo construction site would have such a business venture.

That could be the case, but they were very nice looking chairs and umbrellas, still in their factory wrapping. Today they were unwrapped.

The man we spoke to was dressed like a security guard, first time we had seen one, and it was 6:30am.....

Could be a little venture by “the office” to make a little Xmas bonus ;-)

Actually, it's the initiative of the developer. They will be establishing a "beach club" where chairs can be rented for the day. The rent can be applied against the kitchen. The idea is to get people to the project to see and visualize it.

As many of you know, this project was caught up in the 2010 recession which caused the previous developer financial hardship. It has since been acquired by other parties who are intent on completing it; hence the hectic development. However, the new owners are also aware of the storied history of the project so, their making an effort to demonstrate the changes and to get people to look at the project afresh.

Just thought I'd interject. I read most of the posts periodically but don't usually comment.
