THERE ARE FEARS the unoccupied Caribbee Hotel on Hastings Main Road, Christ Church, could become a security risk for people walking along that section of the Richard Haynes Boardwalk.

The property, owned by businessman Elias Haloute has been on the real estate market for several years, and reports suggest the building could be falling into a state of disrepair, noticeable on the seaside.

Barbadian-born Canadian citizen Paul Mayers said the once popular Barbadian hotel was now “an eyesore” that should be rebuilt or removed.

The former Harrisonian, who grew up in Drax Hall, St George, and migrated to Canada at age 14, was here on a two-week holiday and last week expressed concern about the security threat posed by the building. (GC)
