Early 2010 should see the Four Seasons kick back into action.
The largest property development and tourism project along Barbados west coast should be back on track early in 2010.
The widely debated property, Four Season Resort and Residences which broke ground in 2007, came to a screeching halt last June but now plans are afoot for its restart.
But now the plan to get the multi-million dollar property underway will largely involve the Government of Barbados, well-known government advisor and investment banker Avinash Persaud and partial financing from one of the island’s finance houses.

Factual news on Barbados’s Four Seasons Development is hard to come across.
In this article, the Guardian gives us some insight”
It was planned as the most lavish millionaire’s hideaway yet on a Caribbean island already crammed with spectacular beach-front mansions.
The offer of a palatial residence in the Four Seasons complex inBarbados, overlooking white coral sands, presented a rare chance for music moguls turned reality TV stars Simon Cowell and Andrew Lloyd Webber to gain a toehold on the island’s exclusive “platinum coast”, where Tony Blair, retail tycoon Sir Philip Green and film director Michael Winner regularly holiday in a climate that is 28C (82F) and sunny almost all year round.
They are among several investors who have paid deposits on villas in the development, which cost up to $30m (£18m) each. The plans showed the best properties would come with an infinity pool on the terrace, a cinema, gym and even a wine cellar to keep the finest bottles cool in the tropical heat. A neighbouring Four Seasons hotel would provide room service and access to butlers, housekeepers, chefs, waiters, gardeners and night watchmen for an extra cost.
Justine Picardie has a nice piece in the Telegraph on Barbados’ colonial past, the Coral Reef Club, St. Nicholas Abbey, Fisherpond and Miss Marple…
There is much about Barbados that has changed since its day as a British colony, but as the gin and tonics clink, you can still see why the island became known as Little England, or Bimshire (the origins of which are obscure). Unlike other Caribbean isles, fought over by a variety of invaders, Barbados was under uninterrupted British control from the first landing of sailors in 1625 until the coming of independence in 1966. There seems to be an even greater concentration of cricket pitches and polo fields here than in the Home Counties, and the place names, like the architecture, are testament to its colonial past (Chancery Lane, Clapham, Hastings, Scarborough).
In today’s Mail, Barbados’s Four Seasons Resort in Black Rock got some further bad press.
Not only were the financial troubles commented on, but the Mail also quoted Michael Winner and Sir Philip Green saying the site itself was not up to par for such an exclusive development.
