I hope the bar brings in some $$ to Caliente Tropics, somewhat like sacrificing the pool bar for the greater g00d of the hote.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by it looking like the A-frame is preserved? Those photos are pics of how things look NOW, not what they WILL look like once the remodeling takes place.

At this point, I'm not 100% sure WHAT exactly is going to be done or not done with the building that used to house the Reef Bar, other than what the artwork shows. And that rendering only shows the rear of the building next to the swimming pool. The small A-frame is on the SIDE, and the manager seemed to feel it was going to be history. I need to hear that from the owner before I'll feel certain, but I didn't get a real good feeling about it while I was there.

Now, if you mean the great BIG A-frame -- the entryway into the resort -- yeah, I have a feeling that probably WILL be preserved (Ku willing!), unless, of course, they intend to completely revamp/de-tikify the whole place starting from scratch, but I kinda doubt they have THAT much cash lying around.
