With World Cup Cricket less than two weeks away all Guyana is in frenzy, as businesses and several authorities attempt to ready the city and its environs for the historical mega event.
Roads are repaired, derelict buildings demolished, and buildings are springing up everywhere, as entrepreneurs seek to capitalise on the financial inflows guaranteed during the duration of CWC.
Two such persons are business personalities Shameer and Jennifer Mohamed.
On Saturday evening the Mohameds officially opened the doors to their brand new 'Ocean Splash International Hotel' situated at 46 Stanley Place , Kitty, Georgetown .
Situated just a stone throw from the Atlantic Ocean , the four-storey building offers accommodation for tourists and Guyanese alike. Twenty-five elaborate and luxurious self-contained rooms offer relaxation and breezy comfort for couples, families and single individuals.
Speaking to this newspaper on Saturday, Shameer said he was prompted to erect the structure after he saw the need for one of such sort at that busy and popular location.
He added that he preferred that 'ideal spot' since it offers visitors access to the popular city seawall and is a secluded haven away from the bustle of the city.
Shameer said his initiative was backed all the way by the Go-Invest entity and close business associates who felt his idea was a splendid one. A swimming pool should be completed after the Cricket World Cup event.
There is adequate parking.
The interior of the hotel is painted in bright tropical colours to add a true 'Caribbean Feeling'. Flowers of almost every nature adorn the sides of the driveway and other sections. The foyer and receptionist counter are a mixture of eye-catching bronze and translucent colours.
Breezy patios connected to every room offer an extended view of the city while allowing for an evening of indulgence over drinks.
Shameer said that the hotel will be capable of meeting the demands of visiting tourists.
