That rumor has been around for a while. There is a large tract of land up there that probable could handle a project like that, but I think it's a bad location for a hotel. No beach, and the road up there from Saline would be very stressed by the increased traffic.
We shall see.

I'm going agree with whatever Mike R posts about this.
That translation reads like a horror story (I'd forgotten about those other places).

Great business for Manu but he seems booked every night in season already. Change and progress are what keeps the world turning I guess but what a shame. The Lurin road is already a tiny one even with the improvements that were made. C'est la vie!

We pre-empt our regularly scheduled programming to inform you that MikeR posts that Saint-Barth is turning into a resort.

Mr Chauvin posits some interesting arguments weighing on such a development:
Benoît Chauvin détaille, dans le journal de Saint-Barth du 16 avril 2015, les raisons pour lesquelles la construction d’un hôtel de cette dimension, en l’espèce celui de Lurin, est, selon lui, inadaptée au contexte touristique et géographique local.

substitute the word "hotels" for "cars".
the writer attacks the size of the project (largest ever on the island), the likely consequences of adding 150 vehicles to an already overburdened road system, the exacerbation of an already very difficult lodging situation for service industry staff, the wisdom and likely success, or rather lack thereof, of such a project in so inauspicious a location with no views and difficult access. He goes on to speculate that the project's nominally intended purpose will fail and then the property will morph into something perhaps less appetizing. He charges that the project's target clientele is not the island's desired haut de gammme usual visitor but more of a budget tourist. He also finds it inappropriate that the permit was approved by only three conseil executif votes and without the consultation of the usual committees informed on the various sectors of business and island life.

History shows opposing rational forces rarely win against the incoming tide of politicians who are ok with outside greed and development wanting their piece of the pie ....
and no one has ever managed to get the genie back in the bottle
sad....
but they re making their bed and it's their destiny .....so onward they go....one nail at a time

Follow the money.........the quiet money......you ll see ...it's not all homegrown
it takes a lot of conviction and balls to hold true and keep the Wolves at bay.....our resort to our north and south have all the franchised fast food....tall buildings.....and out of control growth.....meanwhile we still have no franchised food...no building over three stories ...no streetlights....no franchised lodging ...we don't even have a gas station.....nada...
and my wife who sits on the mindful planning board to keep us all safe, tells me the inquiries and push from outside money and power to go bigger is relentless ......and it's that way in every resort, St Bart's included I'm sure.....especially since it's gone mainstream........everyone wants to get their beak a little wet
