OK, apparently Playa Esmeralda in Guayacanes is open, or will be open, in February because I've been offered a reservation. Are they still in the throes of a renovation? Will we be staying in a construction site? Their reservations are taken by someone not located at the site, because they bizarrely still have no internet, so I can't inquire myself. Are they still operated by All Roses (who appear to have acquired the Talanquera)? Any insights most appreciated.
