TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands Quito's New Inn

According to Quito's new website, he is building a new 21 room Inn. Check it out. I wonder if it is going to be located in the same place?

The "About" page says they are rebuilding on the existing site. Be interesting to see what they put together.

Good news. The first building was in rough shape. Building a wood structure in the tropics is never a really good idea.If they can produce something like what appears in the sketch, should do very well. Also notice the "name change",looks like the business has been restructured too.

Quito, or Janice?

Wow!! Good news!! We stayed in his old place twice, but other than a warm welcome and nice folks, the building and rooms needed TLC.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but isn't Lighthouse Inn on the hill above Quito's? Will this new building block the view from some of the rooms there, because of how tall it is??

That building breaks all the codes presently in the BVI for height, but seeing as Maria's by the Sea went above 45' Quito probably will too.

Looking at the conceptual drawing on the site, I would think they may have acquired the land by the old building where Glen kept all his boats and various other things. Other possibility(or combination of both) is they will need to rip into the mountain/hill that the old building is built on.
Only glaring error I can see in the picture is the pool. That absolutely needs to be a negative (disappearing) edge pool, at least second floor level overlooking the bay and the sunsets. Anywhere else would be a waste of effort.

Glenn making a deal with Quito??Now that would be something..There was no hint of any work going on at the inn when we left a week ago , thought they were working on the gazebo..

I think that is the pool that is already there in back of the old hotel. It has always been underused because of its location.

That was my thoughts too Mal,but with some deep pockets,well,Glenn's only friends are dead Presidents it seems.

I was looking at that Norma, and the only that would work (with the conceptual drawing) would be to build the hotel on the restaurant and across the road(which wouldn't really surprise me,I've seen crazier stuff done down there). The only flat land there is Glenns, unless they are planning to move a mountain. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

I have it on good authority that the new building is on land exclusively owned by Quito and in full compliance with BVI code. I am anxious to see this new addition to the CGB landscape.

Interesting! Folks with a timeshare interest at Quitos will have to check this out.

It says it is on the same footprint. I cannot imagine that won't interfere with the lighthouse views??
When I first saw the plan I thought it might have been incorporating the lighthouse villas... we shall see. Be interesting to see how far they have gotten when we visit this January.

That was my first thought--something that tall surely would block at least some of the view from Lighthouse, I think?

The website says 'For the 2015-2016 season we have rooms available in our second building.'So is the yellow building in front of Lighthouse the second building and they are building on the original site? His brother Christian owns the house between does he not?

Does Quito still have the restaurant/bar open and does he still play there?

They are currently remodeling and hope to reopen in October

His facebook page has progress reports and photos. Just posted yesterday about the end of the "ole Works", showing it being gutted from what I can tell. It may be coming down altogether..but I could not tell from yesterdays photos.
Does appear the gazebo is progressing nicely tho.

Sure looks like they are making a lot of progress. Saw pictures of the old building coming down.

After reading some of the posts I was wondering what the view might be like at the Light House Villas. We are staying there in a few weeks and hope that Quitos new place doesn't alter it for us. Looking forward to seeing Quito again

Just a big hole in the ground right now..the bar is , allegedly, opening next week..hopefully by then all the earth movers will have done their stuff..cant imagine staying in Lighthouse Villas for the last month....hope you are getting a good rate!

Fair rate but we enjoy cane garden as we stayed there for a month a few years ago. Hope the construction noise is not too much.

hmm we will be staying in CGB late May 2016. wonder if they will be open by then. I did email them to see if any idea on room types and rates. Do they still have their $5 happy hour apps! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

Looks like taking a lot of pics on their facebook page, good way to see their progress.

There is literally nothing there right now but a big empty site..not sure how quickly they can build the planned 21 room hotel..for me I would have a backup plan..plus I'm not sure how close I'd want to be during the building process..other options..Columbus Sunset is probably your most reasonable deal..talk to Rose..The Elm too..but they are still quite close to Quito's though noise should be muffled..Myett's of course..and Cane Garden Bay Cottages..much as we love Q, I'd wait for all this to be finished..
