zimaris/paradise hotel

[valley girl]

just out of curiosity does anyone know what is going on with the paradise (zimaris) hotel now. i know it re-opened brieflyin 2008. it seems such a waste of a building & grounds

We had a snoop around last year. All the doors had been broken open and it was totally vandalized inside.
A lot of furniture, beds etc but all destroyed. Tv's & mirrors smashed. Such a shame as it must have been a beautiful hotel, once. We did hear illegal immigrants were squatting there during winter but don't know how far thats true. It would cost thousands if not millions to put it right.

we went up about 3 years ago to have a look it was all closed up then and all the furniture was stacked up..we kept expecting to see a face peering back at us through the windows lol! it is a shame its all been vandalised as it is a real focal point in the village

I thought the abandoned hotel was called sunny bay or am I thinking of the wrong one? The one I am thinking about was painted a pale yellow colour and it is on the hillside.

yes it was called sunny bay but i think when it 1st opened it was paradise hotel vaguely remember seeing it painted on the wall of the driveway...  there again i could be wrong but it is the one thats painted pale yellow

We drove in there last year for a nose around - but it felt pretty creepy and not nice, bit like the Marie Celeste!!
We felt we were being watched the whole time!

[valley girl]

we felt the same when we went up there, my son's girlfriend was really jumpy...me & steffan (husband) refer to it as the overlook ever since then !

Its a bit like "The Hills Have Eyes" - spooky

[tonyco1]

Of course we pretended not to notice all the cast off body parts and chainsaws scattered around,
the eyes in the portraits that followed us around and the evil screams and sounds, other than that - nice gaff!!
