Summer 2018 - Marina etc
 
We are returning end of July and I was wondering if there had been any changes at the Marina, Cyndis been taken over yet?
Also is the bike store on the roundabout there this year?

Thanks
Alyson

Hi Alyson
Sorry to say neither were open @ Easter & it didn't look likely to happen
If you are looking for bike hire opposite Marina 11 was open for business ,my B.H . has had some repairs to hers done their.
The Paradise beach Bar is well worth a visit & is very popular
Only bit of juicy gossip is that Abrahams has taken over The Outback & would like to open it as some sort of night club ?? , can't see him getting permission , but who knows out there
Regards
Chris

Thanks for the update. Shame no one has taken over the space of Cyndis. I used to love the comfy seats there. I hope we don’t get a disco bar just another bar like cinimon would be nice, drinks and comfy seats haha!

Hi, Sugar Reef is still there & is outliving all they rest. They are next door to, what was, Cyndi's & have comfy chairs & drinks. Regards Bryony

Hi
On paper it shouldn't happen , it goes against nearly every local law & I gather the local residents are against it ,but lets wait & see ?
Here's some info you may not know about
La Bocana has taken over the pizza restaurant & extended round making it quite a large restaurant now
Nolan's Bar is now a daytime Kinder-garden
Dante's now do Tapas & next door there is now a small Pizza Restaurant
There is another large development being built neat the sea front about half way between Punta De Moral & Isla Canela

We cant wait to return, it’s our happy place.

There is a new cafe/bar open at the old cyndi's bar. The new place is called Mambo. Yesterday afternoon it was very busy whilst all the other establishments were close to empty. It appears to do a very limited menu of snacks as it is a drinking venue. They have dart boards, tv, possibly live music and hubble bubble pipes. At the time of passing the age group using the bar appeared to be under 30.

Thanks

You can rent bikes with Guillecar. They are opposite the bus station and work with various hotels in Isda Canela/Punta del Moral.

We are hiring a car with them this year, delivering it to us at the Melia (we will just walk down from our apartment). Is there a way of hiring them without going into town though and get them at the hotels instead?

I think so but it is better to check with them.
