Well at least the goverment realizes that the place is starting to deteriorated and should be better cared for..It's a shame.

I know things cost a lot but you would think their managers could do something at the price they charge.

There's a similar problem with Maho Bay Camps, which might actually have to close because of the end of its long lease on the land.

This past November, I returned from my 12th visit there. It was so sad to see what has happened to such a magnificent place and once great resort. As much as I love it, I am not certain that I will ever return.

Tourism, along with the rest of the economy, has been greatly hurt by worsening economic conditions. This only adds to the problem.

I worry for the many wonderful resorts, resturants, and all those connected to this industry.

From a business standpoint, you can see why Rosewood or whoever isn't putting money into the resort if it's not going to be theirs to operate in 14 years so this needs to be resolved before they start renovations, etc.
