Los Cabos
Local officials are reporting that the main tourism facilities of the Los Cabos region (including San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas) were relatively unscathed by the passing winds, rain and high waves produced by Hurricane Jimena, which tore through the area during the early part of the week. The San Jose del Cabo International Airport (SJD) and the Port of Los Cabos have re-opened and all of the area's hotels and resorts are fully operational. In addition, most of the restaurants, bars and other attractions (including sport-fishing trips, golf courses, ATV tours, etc.) are open and ready to receive guests. Sep 3, 2009
Maui Prince Hotel
In the wake of foreclosure proceedings against the Maui Prince Hotel, the company that manages the resort and neighboring golf course said it will terminate its contract with the hotel's owner on September 16, a move that could affect the jobs of the resort's 380 employees. The employees received layoff notices yesterday in accordance with state law. But a consortium of lenders led by Wells Fargo Bank said they are taking 'immediate steps' to find a new management company and 'keep the hotel operating for guests and workers' beyond the September 16 date. Wells Fargo attorney Barry Sullivan said the lender will ask the 2nd Circuit Court on Maui today to appoint a receiver to take over operations of the resort. Sep 2, 2009
