In the update there are photos depicting work taking place on the site and it is dated 23rd November 2009. The developer explains that work on the site is still progressing at a very fast rate.Additionally it is stated that some of the apartment blocks and cabanas are continuing to take shape.

Meanwhile work on the highly anticipated marina has also started, which when completed will have 24 berths for cruising yachts and also the facility to accommodate yachts up to 250ft.  The breakwater on the left hand side has been doubled in size and the one on the right hand side has been extended out. Work has begun on the new underwater reef, between the two breakwaters, which will to protect the beach area.

On the restaurant side of the property, the top part of the beach has been cleared but what may not be visible, due to the shade in the photo, is the markings out and the beginning of the digging of the foundations.  This is where the beach restaurants and swimming pool etc will be located.

On the Cabanas front, holes have been dug and these indicate the footings for the final cabanas to be built in that area.  In the last few months, extensive work has been carried out throughout all the cabanas with the roofs on, to the extent that tiling has been being completed and many are almost ready to have furniture installed.

In terms of the river, some land has been cleared in preparation for the final area of cabanas.    Work has also been undertaken on river protection to protect the banks from high water flooding after rainstorms.   Approximately 15m of land has also been reclaimed from the river as part of the river defences for the area.
