Starwood broke ground on their latest five-star resort this week, on the beautiful and serene Bahia Beach, in Puerto Rico.
The development is due to feature a 139-room five-star hotel, with 483 acres and two miles of beach in its vicinities. The residences available include beachfront townhouses and luxury estate homes. New York Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran is said to have already purchased one of these estates.
Currently there is already an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course available for play.’
Bahia Beach is situated in Puerto Rico’s northeastern coast, “where the Atlantic Ocean blends with the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea.”
The resort also offers 70 acres of “unspoiled lakes” upon which guests and residents may enjoy deep-sea fishing or kayaking, and the general serenity of the tropical environment. There will also be a tropical maritime forest and nature preserve, which will feature many indigenous flora alongside of pleasant nature trails for foot or bicycle.
In total there are five projects currently under construction, and the resort is due for opening in 2010.
