WEST BAY CONDO PROJECT SELLING FAST!
Roatan continues to attract a growing number of wise investors and retirees to its sandy shores. Much of this growth is due to the exposure from the thousands of cruise ship visitors each year as well as articles in travel and dive magazines and such well respected sources as the Washington Post.
Everyone who comes to Roatan ends up at West Bay Beach, noted as one of the Top 10 Beaches in the Caribbean. Few people ever want to leave. That has now become easier. Just steps from the turquoise waters of the bay is the site for 21 luxury condo/villas soon to begin construction and known as Caribbean Breeze Villas http://www.caribbeanbreezevillas.com
Looking more like a compact enclave of turn of the century Spanish influenced homes, these bright, spacious 1, 2 and 3 bedroom condos are designed with old world charm and all the modern "must haves".
Plans are now finalized, a top notch respected builder has been chosen and construction will begin shortly. With pre-construction pricing starting at just $199,000, a number of smart people have jumped on these already. Pre-construction pricing will end of course when construction commences so the best profits will be made by those who choose a condo and commit now.

LOCAL TASK FORCE IN THE NATIONS CAPITAL
Last week, as many as 5 foreigners joined local dignitaries to travel the the Capital for a meeting with the Minister of Security and the President's advisors. The purpose of the meeting was to deliver recommendations to the law makers on more effective ways to deal with the petty crimes that have been on the rise throughout the islands.
Mayor Jerry Hynds and Congressman Evans McNabb led the entourage and asked the Honorable Oscar Alvaraz, Minister of Security, to put further measures in place to ensure that locals and tourists alike are safer and that the bad elements are removed from the Bay Islands.
A recent increase in criminal activity has been a hot topic on the Roatan chat rooms and this has prompted the Govenor and others to take action to prevent this from getting to a level that would be unfavorable for the continued economic growth of the Bay Islands.
Their plan seemed to work as the activities of the police and other government agencies has already brought results. Thanks to all those to care about our islands and want to preserve the peace and tranquility that we've famous for.
