Around the lagoon, visitors will find a number of new restaurants, including one that will overlook the shores.

The plans were first proposed in 2017 and were meant to open last summer. However, they experienced major setbacks as, according to local media, the plans did not meet the criteria that were laid out.

Alovera’s Town Hall declared the project tender void due to the company responsible for the project excluding several facilities that were in the investment draft.

This included the children’s area, restaurant, gym and car park.
