Manchebo Palm Trees?

I noticed on Manchebo Resorts webcam that their little palm trees on the beach are gone. Does anyone know what is going on with that. I always liked those little palm trees that were scattered around on the beach.

They are relocating some of the trees to another area of the resort to make more room for wedding ceremonies.

----- That could be the answer as yesterday there was a wedding right between the 2 huts there. There was a number of rows of seats and would estimate around 40 people attending.

Manchebo small palm trees

I have many photos of large wedding seating in between the palm trees. I am wondering what Manchebo's thinking is to remove them. They were so pretty for the wedding ceremonies.

They were just moved around. The palm trees were not removed from the beach entirely.

You can see two in this photo: one in the foreground and the other behind the palapa, closer to the water, on the far left side.

Manchebo just planted those two trees back. For a few days there were no palm trees on the webcam.

The trees are gone again?? When we stayed there in Feb., we asked them why they had taken some out and they told us they were replanting them to make room for weddings. It looked like they had repositioned some of them to make a nice center isle.
