INAUGURAL HACIENDA IGUANA PRO-AM GOLF TOURNAMENT
Long over due has been Hacienda Iguana’s Blog! So many exciting things have happened over the past three months. Here how it all went:
The first month since June 19ths last Blog, I went to Cancun Mexico for Phillip Jenning’s Turf Grass seminar held at The Moon Palace Resort. Attendees were from all over Latina America and the Caribbean. Dr. Ronny Duncan was the expert lecturing on Paspalum Sea Grass. The seminar was very informative and educational. I had to ride in a golf cart from the reception to my room. Better remember the name of the building you are staying in or you will get lost. Mine was La Pina next to El Mango…. nice room but lacking that personal touch which I have come to love about our homes here in Iguana.
After that week of turf management training, I was off to Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas for a tradeshow promoting tourism to Costa Rica and Nicaragua. I made some great contacts for both Hacienda Iguana and our sister project in Costa Rica, Flamingo Marina Resort.
Following the tradeshow, it was off to Europe for some time off, rest and relaxation. England and Denmark were my two destinations. Whilst I enjoyed the Phantom of the Opera in Piccadilly Circus, I quickly discovered my Dollars, Cordoba’s and Colones were not going to carry me very far; so, it was a quick exit to Copenhagen. There I was able to unite with friends and family that I had not seen in over a decade!
Upon my returns to Hacienda Iguana, I noticed many improvements to the golf course in terms of plants, flowers, and even wild life! It was nice to be home at last. Unfortunately, for most of the month of August, Iguana and all local V-Sat systems were down with Internet. I was told many stories but the most important one to me was we are now back up and running for the past two weeks with some minor glitches!
So many of you have written to me asking for Iguana updates and I appreciate your patience. So here is what has been happening…
1. Don Eloy’s Nica Bar Y Restaurante is days away from preliminary opening. Jim tells me that he will have drinks, lights snacks, and hoagie sandwiches for the first week and in about three weeks the full service menu up and running. They will even offer delivery service to all homes and condos inside Iguana. He mentioned that is why they have a golf cart and a Blackberry cellular phone.
2. The Super Market has been sold and will hopefully be open in December. They will offer breakfast and even grocery delivery service to your home or condo in Iguana. Your grocery list can be ordered online and delivered to your place and in your refrigerator before you even arrive!
3. The first town house in Villa Las Colinas is complete and the punch list has been done. Furnishings are underway and should be complete in 10 weeks.
4. The first residential unit in Plaza El Pozo was completed last week and is ready for rentals!
5. Roofing on Villa Rio Dulce Condos has commenced and grey work completion is scheduled for Oct 15th, 2007.
The school has been completed, painted and is ready for furnishing and supplies. With that being said, I am proud to announce the following…. INAUGURAL
