Roca Mar Update as of Nov.1/08


Roca Mar Update as of Nov.1/08  --  Update Jan 09--see bottom of post....

I took a morning walk past our first favourite place to stay….the Roca Mar. We began staying here in 2003….loved the funkiness of the place and the fact that ‘Ino’ was there to watch over it all. Miss him….we have a lot of wonderful memories from the Roca Mar.

Anyway, Roca Mar was sold earlier this year and has been undergoing a major renovation. One that was sorely needed. It is a beautiful location and I am so happy to see the restoration taking place instead of it being bulldozed for some 6 story condo building! Once the work is done, it will be a prime location to stay….although much pricier than in the past I’m sure!

Here are some photos that I took on November 1st…there were a lot of workers there so I’m sure a lot of progress has been made since then. Tentative opening date is for some time in December. We shall see!  M & J's is currently located on Hidalgo....search them out for a delicious breakfast.





T

























It will be exciting to see the finished project!


UPDATE--Jan 2009

The Roca Mar is finished and looks amazing!  There is some information here...
