Ritz-Carlton, Aruba (July progress report)

Progress continues on the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Aruba. It appears much of the building’s main structure is in place. Now they’re filling in the walls, building the portico, and probably working on the interior systems. Here’s a look from the south:

Here’s another photo looking straight at what I would expect is going to be the main entrance on the inland side.

Here’s one more photo, this time looking at the corner least finished.

Sorry, but I couldn’t get a photo from the beach side. They have the area blocked with temporary walls. This will probably be the most expensive hotel on the island. Not in my budget, but you may enjoy your stay here. Remember, don’t forget the sunscreen.

Progress at the Ritz, 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?
