i think we might have seen you two at the bar (last sunday)? el zafiro (name of the place you are referring, formerly white sands) is a great place that we also stumbled upon. we used to frequent it when it was tahoma. drove there last week to see if another beach bar had opened up and there it was. newly opened, we were the only ones there and took advantage of having the beach all to ourselves. we enjoyed it so much that we brought our friends, flying in from ca a few days later, and turns out that our friends knew the owners! our friends are not frequent visitors to the island, but had met the owners in st.john a couple years ago. what a small world! during the soft opening and while they get situated, the restaurant and hotel are not yet open, just the bar. for the time, they are working with piece of cake to deliver food to the beach. as for parking, the lot is currently the same as before. so far parking has been a non issue for us whenever we go there. one of the reasons we enjoy that end of the beach, versus karakter, is the low key vibe. it does not get as congested and always a relaxing, peaceful beach day. wishing ed and nicole all the best with their new venture.
