Inspiration!
What, Coral Beach…hmmmmmmmm
Slightly concerned to read his resume of previous employers – Nine Beaches, Grape Bay Hotel and Pink Beach – all have one thing in common. None of them exist now!! Perhaps if CBC wakes up and see that people don’t want to wear a jacket and tie for dinner, want to be able to be bare foot on the “beach” terrace. Listen to your members please.
Time to relax that ridiculous “WHITES ONLY” tennis clothing requirement.
Ties…… Really ?
