PM Browne: Barbuda Ocean Club Project Sets Stage for Caribbean Luxury

31

Prime Minister Gaston Browne enthusiastically supports the Barbuda Ocean Club Project, a transformative initiative poised to elevate the sister isle’s status in the competitive tourism market.

Spanning 900 acres of Palmetto and Coco Points on Barbuda, the project features an impressive 18-hole Tom Fazio Golf Course, already partially completed.

Owned and operated by the Discovery Land Company (PLH Barbuda Limited), Browne commended the remarkable resilience displayed by the nation, which, despite Hurricane Irma’s devastation in 2017, is now emerging as a premier luxury destination in the Caribbean.

During a recent tour, the Prime Minister expressed confidence in the project’s success, emphasizing its potential to bring substantial economic benefits to Antigua and Barbuda.

With the PLH Coco Point Development nearing completion and a promising announcement of another luxury resort on the horizon, Browne envisions a prosperous future for Barbuda’s residents and a thriving tourism sector.

  1. The only billionaires who will consider living in an overcrowded space as planned by Discovery are crooks and similar levels of new money!
    Wealthy persons require estates and space to be private, where their high status friends feel comfortable and free from paparazzi. The Barbuda development is a rich ghetto and no more. It is important to recognize the difference between rich and wealthy!

    • You all oppose every darn thing . Go hide under a rock and let Antigua and Barbuda thrive. This development is good for the country. You people are so negative and backward at the same time.

  2. I foresee Barbuda as an island to compete with in the future. Great vision. The people without a vision will perish. Sometimes we only see the now but not the big picture

  3. YIPPEE YIYAY!!! Gaston Browne looking out for the super rich – as usual -, with no REAL help for the indigenous people of Barbuda.

    Subservience, subjugation and servitude in hospitality isn’t the only answer you know. How about creating something in manufacturing for the Barbudan’s to benefit as well, like engineering, clothing; a bottling plant or cabinet making?

    START THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX YOU ABSOLUTE CRETIN … YOU CAN DO IT!

    • You sound so dunce . You all oppose everything this man do and none of you all can walk in his shoe. You just spitting words in the air. Dunce and ban minded at the same time. You all are so bitter. Antigua and Barbuda will thrive in spite of you all wishing bad for the government. Everything you all criticize even when nothing is there to criticize.

      • Again, a fool who cannot answer the viable and sensible questions I’ve posted to HIGHLIGHT the incompetence of our Prime Minister Gaston Browne.

        I’ve mentioned solutions to make Barbudan’s lifestyle to grow alongside the ABLP’S proposals for the super rich.

        I look forward to your response @ Patriotic about what you would do to help autochthonous Barbudan’s prosper as well.

        Let the readers decide who really is the dunce!

        DON’T HIDE YOURSELF … 😁

  4. What is the big picture? They having all their taxes waved, while the infrastructure and the people not benefiting. A world of the haves and have not , and very soon all the people boxed in . Is that development or new slavery ? With all that is going on , one would think that the land fill would be in good working condition , instead a diversion road is being built so that the new people don’t have to see the mess while our eyes bleed .

  5. Congratulations to the Gaston Brown administration and to the people of Barbuda. Progress is a must . The Barbuda council for over 40 plus years did nothing for the development of Barbuda, they opposed everything then blamed the mainland government. Kudos to Hon PM for a promised kept promise delivered. Many Barbudans will benefit economically from this venture.

    • So what are you REALLY saying @ Badminded?

      That Barbudan’s should only benefit from working in the Hospitality sector?

      I bet you don’t work in this sector. Tarl!

      I think readers can make up their own minds about who is really being bad-minded on this ANR thread.

      You sound like another person that only want to see Barbudan’s working in the Hospitality sector?

      Seems so to me …

  6. A Perspective of recent happenings from Barbuda that even a blind shrimp from ‘Dark Cave’ can read. First, Discovery Land Company and PLH bring NOTHING good for Barbudan people. They are in trouble in all of their other sites around the world. From USA to Scotland. Look them up properly. Activism against their underhand ways is gaining traction fast. They are using the same propaganda playbook, buying puppet politicians and local Councils and riding rough shot over local people and economies. Handing out crumbs to make billions whilst the weak hang on to their coat tails hoping for a mil or two, it’s a disgraceful attempt to advance an agenda of money whilst decimating local people, environment and culture.
    Let us just review the last week in this unfunny pantomime. First, Dorset admits to Law Lords at Privy Council that construction of Barbudan Private Air Strip, (whilst representing the AG and DCA) , may have skipped a few steps ( ie: fundamental legal requirements) please watch before commenting) with an argument that ‘it’s a ‘moot point, it’s already built so what you gonna do’ which was labeled by Lord Leggard as ‘the least attractive argument he has ever heard’. ( It did NOT sit well with the Law Lords). Then a wholly more sensible attorney tries to take over (valiantly, considering the argument was doomed) to defend ABAA and GOAB against the PLH Private Air Strip build by citing a technicality and narrow interpretation that implied citizens can not challenge a Governments possible illegal development (or that which they puppet for developers DLC / PLH ) because they (citizens) are not a professional ‘Body’ of experts and have no ‘standing’ (right to do so).
    Note: GOAB do not deny ignoring their own laws, Barbuda-laws, let alone an obligation, lawful
    or moral, to consult the Barbuda people, or to international agreements GOAB have signed with obligation to adhere to. And then then PM openly says on his radio show it is DLC/PLH who are pushing things and apparently running the bigger show….and they (DLC/PLH) can recommend the required consultants on behalf of GOAB ABAA to epidite the job at a fifth of the price and quicker than previously quoted by a reputable ABAA solution. This proposed scenario results in a ‘NO’ by CEO of ABAA to pushing through a compromised plan to hurry the opening of Airstrip to accommodate their 200 high net worth clientele / prospective purchasers. Ironically this push could possibly usurp a loan for 100 million which she (ABAA CEO) put together for ABAA and GOAB. A quick resignation confirming this ‘NO’ confirms her integrity, to protocol, law and good practices.
    All this is in the context that last week the Law Lords of the Privy Council indicate should things disintegrate further for GOAB in the case of ‘Judicial Review’ (soon to follow) that a possible outcome from the Apex Court, should it eventually return to them, could be the dismantling of said airstrip ! Again, watch the proceedings on -line. The win for ‘Standing’ will open up a plethora of litigation against everything DLC/PLH, and investors will run for the hills as the ensuing tidal wave washes away their low lying projects away. Early investors may loose all.
    And so what do DLC/PLH/GOAB do to placate this horrifying scenario …..
    Well … DLC/PLH insist and GOAB jump to disrespect their (Law Lords) sentiments by pushing forward the timeline to complete the operational viability of the private airstrip. Presumably hoping to sell phase two of bad idea for Barbuda ‘Palmetto Point’ to unsuspecting high net worth purchasers at Christmas and asap. For the unaware ‘Palmetto Point’ is a project set over an aquifer on a wetland which is a disater of biblical proportion awaiting the next serious Hurricane. And as DLC/PLH mow down and burn the dug up wetlands and mangroves by 100’s of acres for a golf course and real estate , they smirk at their not so secret plan of joining leases to make a masterplan of apartheid. The Barbuda Ocean Club is a concrete monstrositie already labeled as the ‘Lobster Pots’ by locals who know the first storm of consequence will wash this nonsense into a new breeding ground for our spiny delicacy. They are locking the locals out, and rubbing their soft hands together as they eye the Codrington lagoon (an internationally recognized and protected site) and the most significant salt pond in the region, for Marinas and several casinos and the obligatory real estate, destroying reefs, fishing and hunting, our food security, and several eco systems that bind the environment (literally) together. A kind of ‘Final Solution’ for a people and culture inconvenient to money worshippers.
    Then, to add to the reality horror, perversely, concurrently, they (GOAB) hold out a hand to G7 plus in the name of ‘Climate Change’ ‘SIDS’ for a NOAHS ARK of relief monies. This IS as ridiculous as it sounds.
    One can not continue this duality without excepting a simultaneous parallel reality exists. This is not about a political party and certainly not a Government of the people. A cult is usually run by a megalomaniac who is delusional in believing he is king, and to explain mad action, ‘we must break a few eggs to make an omelette’, The reality is plain, there is ‘a bull in a china shop trying to find and smash open the cash register’. Authoritative in style is both an understatement and overstatement, for a puppet to those (billionaires) who rely on him to manifest their ‘Worlds’ is in control of NOTHING. With propaganda such as the above article desperation is palpable. Economic Terrorism is REAL.
    ‘Critical thinking’ should be a welcome practice and not an ‘alien invasion’. Our ‘HOME’ is a place we love and reside, not a destination for the rich and wealthy to exploit natural resources we have nurtured for centuries. That time of human and natural exploitation has passed from Barbuda beginning with emancipation and a move towards self determination in a self sustainable manor. Barbuda is and has always been light years ahead in many respects. Jealousy is a indeed a bitch wearing a tight tshirt and pouting chest.
    If these political puppets like the imperialist system they worship then perhaps it’s their time to go and enjoy that existence wherever it is, but in your obvious unravel we watch in disgust at the desperate death roll playing out over here.
    To the complete misunderstanding of your supporters we consider ourselves already rich in ways you will never understand. The land is our reperations, our connection to God and nature is our leader and comfort. Barbuda is already a sustainable Garden of Eden. We have our own plans which start with ‘live within our means’ and be an example to the world for sustainability, resilience and continue with ‘HIS’ plan, not yours or theirs.

    • Stand fast Bsrbuda, hold on to what you hold dear. Do not prostitute your birthright for a quick dollar. The cretinous, unstable leader of Antigua and Barbuda has no regard for your concerns, he only sees dollar signs that point towards his ‘creative enrichment’. Permit me to once again remind you of the contempt he holds for Barbudans. You are regarded as “deracinated imbeciles”. Never forget. He said it and he meant it. Be warned!

  7. Barbuda is slowly becoming, the Las Vegas of the Caribbean where high end prostitution, high stakes gambling, high end corruption will take place.
    Yes, it will create employment; however, there had better be accompanying public services such as hospitals(physical/mental) to law enforcement to schools which educate rather than train servants for the servitude industry. Otherwise, “wah sweet, ah G.O.A.T. Mouth, ah goh sour dey ah, E hookah-hole.”
