Aman Capital was given an exclusivity agreement to finalise plans for the hotel, which ran out at the end of February.

Tourism Minister David Allen said yesterday that executives from the company are on the Island and have been given an extra few weeks to fine tune their plans.

He told The Royal Gazette yesterday "They have some representatives on the Island but they are delivering a comprehensive plan.

"They have given us a comprehensive report and we have given them a couple of extra weeks to refine that plan.

"But they are moving ahead rapidly and I'm hopeful that some time later in March we'll have the full thing.'' Mr. Allen told MPs in December that Aman, a subsidiary of Selangor Prperties Berhad, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, planned to demolish most if not all of the property, which has been empty for 13 years.
