Bushiri news... any?

[Mr. Ratt]

Greetings fellow Aruba-ites....

I got the most interesting "e-flyer" in my email box.
An ad for the Bushiri....
http://oranjestad.aruba.hotels-123.c...ort-Aruba.html

Can anyone who has been recently, or who is there as we "speak", tell me what's up with the property beside the Tamarijn? There's been a lot of talk about it, and getting the note about this place being back in operation seems a bit... odd.
Unless there's been some major work since last April, I find it a bit hard to believe.

Any news would be appreciated... thanks in advance.

That's funny! The place has been closed for years now and there have been no "renovations" on it since then (we just flew back from Aruba on Jan. 3.) At this point, the Hilton Group is working with the gov't to perhaps build a new hotel on the site but, again, nothing is in works as of yet and it still looks the same as it did/does every year - closed and abandoned.

Thanks Amy,

That's what I had assumed, but one never knows.
No, wait a minute, it's Aruba time.

Even here, it's Aruba time.
