Posted: Sun June 18, 2006 07:49 PM UTC
we love barbados especially the amaryllis hotel and would like to return again this december with friends. it will be our friends first time and we'd like to be sure the vacation is not spoiled due to construction noise. we are interested in the south coast area. anyone know where construction might be going on? thanks for your help. :)lilmochasmom

They are talking about the WGC (golf) world cup being held in December - it would be a bit late if they are still building for that in December - and/or the cricket world cup that is to be held in 2007, I thought they were only reconstructing the Kensington Oval for that.
Current reports seem to be mixed without mentioning construction work http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g147266-d278091-Reviews-Amaryllis_Beach_Resort-Christ_Church_Barbados.html

sorry about the mix-up, i was referring to the cricket world cup. we were told by several locals that many hotels are adding rooms onto their properties and new hotels are being built to accomodate everyone.

Except many things to still be under constructions for the Cricket World Cup in March/April 2007. I don't think there is to much construction going on at the moment right in that area. having said that, they just tore down some local houses just up the beach from Amaryllis to build some condo type place (really too bad..) but not sure when or if they will be in progress at that time.

come and enjoy.
