On April 3, 2015 the New York Times published a lengthy article announcing the ground breaking of the project. Sure it is awesome that we have such significant celebrity and protector of the environment soon to call Belize home but what I find most supporting is that he and his partner (Paul Scialla is a former partner at Goldman Sachs and owner behind the ultra high end health centric development firm Delos in New York) believe that the time is perfect now, today, to commence with a large luxury and ultra pricey development project in Belize. It helps provide our clients the reassurance that we are in the right spot at the right time. You too can jump on that boat before the boat sails away.

The Benque Viejo Marching Band did a spectacular parade through the main street of the Village and a not-to-be-forgotten presentation on the beach later on that Saturday afternoon. One of the most aromatic areas of the event was the food area. Lobster was on the Menu everywhere and it was nothing less than delightful. There were lobster patties, lobster fritters, lobster ceviche, lobster on a stick, Grilled lobster and much more lobster. It was three nights of party. On Friday we had local DJ’s jamming, on Saturday we had Gilharry 7 Rocking and on Sunday we had the local Placencia Band closing off the events with a dance. It was a wonderful weekend.
