The Alhambra Casino in Aruba has been undergoing some major renovations. The exterior facelift is well underway as you can see from the photo below.
Looks like it’s going to be a brand new drive-through, perfect for the high rollers’ limousines. The parking lot has been expanded, too, with better access to the main road. The Alhambra Casino is mentioned in my upcoming novel that takes place on the island. I’ll keep you posted on the release and more progress at this famous place in Aruba.
The Ritz-Carlton in Aruba has been moving along. I drove by there yesterday and snapped a photo of the construction site. It doesn’t look like much, but the foundation is apparently finished and the framework has begun to rise. Take a look.
This hotel is supposed to be the last one built on Palm Beach. We’ll see. The traffic circle nearby is complete with the exception of the landscaping in the middle. This was an improvement for traffic flow along the main highway as well as to the immediate inland neighborhoods. Aruba has grown by leaps and bounds since my first visit many years ago. It makes you wonder, how far will it go?
The Marriott Hotel in Aruba is building an adults only pool. This sign showed up on the promenade connecting the hotel with the Ocean Club.
Just in case you’re confused as to how to dress and enjoy this kind of thing, they also posted this photo.
Anyone who has the pleasure of staying at the Marriott, let me know how this project turns out so I can update the blog here at The Bent Page.
There are some strange constructions on the island of Aruba. This one caught my eye in Seroe Preto, near San Nicolaas. It’s the site of a Disney-like castle that is lit up with Christmas lights during the season. Here it is during the day, in summer.
That’s quite a piece of work. The next photo shows the view from up there, which is equally impressive.
Finally, here is the direct Disney connection, a painting on the wall.
Snow White and her seven Arubian dwarfs are on display. Come Christmastime, I look forward to checking this place out when it’s shining bright against the Caribbean sky.
Bon dia.
