Regina is correct.

84 room boutique hotel with plunge pools .As I had stated, works out to $1,700.00 per square foot to build.

Far too expensive to make it work.

I’ve never understood how or why anyone would believe that building new and more expensive hotels would bring in more tourists when we can’t even fill the hotels we already have?

If you want to develop something at Morgan’s Point, build a huge casino. It is proven (by Bermudians and many others around the world) that people WILL travel to gamble. But NO-ONE visits somewhere just to stay at their new hotel. NO-ONE!

This will be a complete waste of money that we don’t even have to begin with!

“An 84 room boutique hotel with rooms along the cliffside with plunge pools”

I have been advised by an engineer very familiar with the project, that they work out to be built at

@$1700 a square foot.

As the old saying goes…”you’re not going to get your bait back on that!”

I agree with Regina, who in their right mind would want to sink that sort of money into the same type of product.

We will need much more than just the entitlement that people like you think you have.

You might need all the rest of the Bermudians who don’t come up to your standards, and even some foreigners too.

Guess you’ll have to wake up and smell that coffee after all.

This is Tucker’s Point all over again. Except, this time, it’s government and not the banks that’s on the hook.

When will we ever learn?

Family graves are in Tucker’s Town . The Spirits aren’t settled . The families were removed . The Spirits aren’t settled . The families need their land back . The Spirits aren’t settled . One day when the wrongs of the past are righted , the Spirits will settle .

The difference comes down to the branding. Ritz Carlton has a global presence and loyal clientele. The developers and backers believe this along with the high end facility and service that is the hallmark of the brand will prove to be successful. Let’s all hope so! Serious answer.

This will certainly stimulate the job market. I hope the plans get approved and the hotel project comes off so that Bermudians can get back to work building it and then others having a career in the hospitality industry.

I want to be optimistic, I really do because these plans are beautiful, but yes, what about Tuckers Point et al? If we don’t have tourists willing to pay TPC prices rendering it bankrupt, why would anyone want to sink more money into the same type of product? Serious question here.

No it’s about PRICE rick. $400 plus rooms will not bring more tourist here.

Some people talk a pile of crap. Complain and be negative on one hand and then show up for jobs on the other.

I do hope they mount a plaque celebrating Mr. Bean who tragically died getting Morgan’s Point ready for this big development or even a beach cove or a cottage named after him up there. js

Tucker’s Point is for sale and you can get Grand Atlantic for $9 million. You guys can have fun in Vegas with the money you will save by just walking away. This government will be subsidizing the resurrection of horse and buggy businesses next.
