Update from the GM

At long last, work finally started this week on the reinstatement of Cala Luna Restaurant! Riverwall Constructions have been appointed and will be on site Mon-Fri until the work is completed – how long you may ask? Well, the crystal ball is being dusted as we speak, and once the demolition and damaged parts are removed, they will have a better picture as to when we will be back to normal.
