BTL responds...

Mid-morning Thursday, February 17, a small power outage caused quite the stir on La Isla Bonita. Soon after the outage, cellular phone service and land line service were cut off. Early Friday morning, around 9am, cellular service and land lines were down once more, and for most of the morning, till around 11am, phone communication was impossible.

While cellular service was back around 11am, land lines (and internet) took a bit longer to come back. Everyone was asking, "what happened?"

In speaking to Angelee Vasquez, Public Relations officer for BTL, The San Pedro Sun found out that the reason for Thursday's lack of service was as a result of the power outage. According to BTL, their backup system was affected and a temporary fix was put on it. Today (Friday), technicians worked on fixing the backup system properly, replacing the equipment necessary. BTL assures the public that they do not anticipate any more problems with service again.

BTL apologizes for the inconveniences caused.

Life’s a Beach Bar - where the party is on the Beach! And the coldest beer in town

LIFE'S A BEACH - WHERE THE PARTY IS ON THE BEACH AND THE COLDEST BEERS IN TOWN!

People move to San Pedro for many reasons. And some of the most common are; “The people are so warm and welcoming. The view – I wake up to this; the pristine waters of the Caribbean sea, white sandy beaches, the constant blowing cool wind, tropical weather all year round, the sound of the waves washing over the coral reef”.

Come and witness live entertainment on selected nights!

Kathy Roman moved to San Pedro from the state of Arkansas in the United States. Kathy moved to the island on January 11^th 2011. This was her first visit - which actually wasn’t really just a visit, as she decided to make San Pedro her permanent home. She and her cousin had seen San Pedro on House Hunters International – and just decided to move.

With years of Bartending experience under her belt, Kathy knew exactly what she wanted to do and saw great potential in the former “Bikini Bar”. She admits that her vision for the bar is to completely re-vamp the establishment and curb the general reputation that it formerly held. She agrees that this has been and certainly continues to be a task – “but when you get to wake up and come to work and have this, “pointing to the view of the Caribbean sea” as a view – it is soooooo worth it”.
