Divi Village opened the new lobby without much fanfare, but with great pride. The spacious new facility was also designed to serve guests checking into the Divi Links Residences and the Dutch Village. With tall ceilings, large fans, natural wood beams, rough-cut stone walls, and open windows and doors, the lobby allows the tropical exterior to become an integral part of the structure. While the center stage is occupied by a user-friendly front desk, the right wing is dedicated to timeshare sales and the left wing to a sunken lobby bar with comfortable seating and an upstairs round lounge hanging just below the tree tops, overlooking the sunsets on the beach and the 9th hole lagoon.
General Manager Gerrit Griffith who recently won the Shoco, Lifetime Achievement Award for excellence in tourism was on hand to welcome guests at check in and the local taxi drivers, visiting the new lobby for the first time.
Also opening later in January, the Alhambra Mall, s lovely cluster of more than a dozen dining and shopping outlets including a food court featuring Subway, Dunkin’ Donuts and Little Caesars Pizza with air-conditioned indoor or tropical outdoor seating, a mini market, The Lazy Lizard gift store, Fusion, a stylish Jazz & Cigar Wine Lounge, and Ginger, Divi’s own famed Asian-Fusion restaurant, serving eclectic, exotic dishes in a chic and contemporary setting. The mall is open from the early afternoon to late in the evening.
