It will have 215 units composed of two-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom villas, one-bedroom villas, onebedroom cottages and four four-bedroom villas. Facilities will include tennis courts, beachfront bars and restaurants. The project is expected to be completed by mid-2011. Levera Resort and Spa, designed to be a luxury eco-resort, will focus on the preservation of the Levera National Park, Levera Beach and the protection of the turtle-breeding habitat. This will be the first significant hotel in the north of the island when it opens in late 2009. The Point, a 15-room resort, is incorporating many ecological ideas to reduce the impact on the ecosystem through the use of solar water heating, solar lighting and an efficient water irrigation system. It will have two unspoiled white-sand beaches offering protected swimming and snorkeling with the safety of an outer reef. Completion is planned for the first quarter of 2009. — JOE PIKE SAMPLER SVI SIZZLIN’ U G IVE YOUR CLIENTS MORE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS FOR LESS.
