Construction of the Malecon is proceeding, but at a slow pace. The plan was to dig a deep footing and put pipes and other infrastructure within, but high water tables have flooded the trench, making deep canals on the beach front street. Most of the restaurants and beach businesses have closed down and no through traffic is allowed on the beach. To make up for it, a lot of decent inexpensive Mexican restaurants have sprung up on the second street back, some with beach view.

Cleaned up beach after Dean

Many of you have sent kind emails and wondered what our plans are to reopen. We are happy to say that we are reopening on Dec. 21st. We decided not to attempt to rebuild the three cabanas that were destroyed, but to clean and repair we have. I'm biting my nails as Dec. 21st draws closer, but it is looking pretty good. Our doors were delivered last week, now to get a carpenter back here to install them! We've changed things a little. With only three cabanas, we can't justify the staff we used to have. We've decided to open the Mayan Beach Garden restaurant 5 days a week and offer a snack bar on two days a week. On the days the restaurant is open we will be now be open to the public. We hope you stop by! More news in the next newsletter
