Celina’s Resort closed its doors shortly after the owner began rehabilitating the entity in 2015. Around that time, the works were brought to an abrupt end following the intervention of the then Ministry of Public Infrastructure.
Prior to the Ministry’s intervention, the proprietor of the business had ignored several cease orders and opted to continue their illegal construction on the foreshore. This caused the Ministry to launch an investigation into the matter, which was followed by the resort being closed.
