The other day, we were on our way to a party at Elsie's, partly to introduce everyone to Dennis, a friend of Elsie's from when they worked together (whatever
work is). We were going to pick up Lynn and take her along with us to the party.
Lynn and Bob (who's out of the country doing a delivery transit of their power catamaran) are developing the
Almond Tree Hotel Resort, a soon-to-be (we hope) up-scale resort located just across the canal from our place.
Since it had been quite some time since we had been over to the
Almond Tree, I snapped a few photos to show you how they're progressing.
First up, the pool. It's really looking cool. It as an integrated spa area, waterfall, and in-pool seating areas.

Looking the other direction (toward Cerros) is the breakwater and boat landing.

Just about the time we were ready to leave, Lynn introduced us to Rocky, her Coatimundi
(
Nasua narica). Rocky is pretty cool, loving to play, eat, and sleep.

Lynn has really landscaped the place with lots of exotic and native plants, like the two below.

And finally, just across a vacant lot to the south of the
Almond Tree is Jerri's place. A pretty unique place on it's own.

Great photo's Dave.(except the ones of me) You think you could take a coarse on photo touch ups? I never realized all my wrinkles before. Or maybe getting a camera that doesn't take too good of photos???? Also the name is Almond Tree Hotel Resort. Good job!
I have always wondered what it looked like inside. Lots of construction work was always going on there while we stayed in the duplex the past few years. Hope they can open up soon. It looks lovely.

I too have been watching this property for many years...it is amazing what they have done with this formerly semi completed building. It's been transformed into what looks to be the best place in town.
I'll find out in just over 3 weeks, my wife and I will be staying there while we are shopping for furniture and all the other stuff you need to turn a new house into a home. Don't know how I'll be able to walk past the beautiful pool without diving in. Lynn and Bob have done a first rate job on this place.
