The court case continues: http://www.travelweekly.com/hotels/article3_ektid196894.aspx The accused are the two principals of Bedrock Building and Aggregates, operator of a mining business based in Kingston, and three other men. All were charged last December following investigations into the disappearance of $70 million worth of sand from the 64-acre, beachfront property. Resort developer Felicitas in November filed an $8.1 million lawsuit in Jamaica’s Supreme Court against Bedrock Building and Aggregates. Felicitas also named Fiesta Jamaica, operator of the Grand Palladium Hotel & Resorts in Lucea; Riu Jamaicotel, operator of the Riu Tropical Bay in Montego Bay; and the owners of the Palmyra Resort and Spa at Rose Hall in Montego Bay. Felicitas contends that the defendant hotels were aware that the sand had been illegally obtained. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara
