The Resort at Isla Palenque Opening
02/14/13
Deture Culsign was on site in the Chiriqui region of Panama working around the clock to prepare the resort for its February 14, 2013 opening. The transformation was magical. Upon arrival to the island, the property was covered with scaffolding, equipment, and construction crew members everywhere. Knowing a delay was not an option, Kimshasa Baldwin, Principal of Deture Culsign, worked with Amble Development staff to get the doors open on time. With some island conditions not able to be foreseen from an office desk, on island details were resolved and immediately constructed by the on-island crew. Deture Culsign knows the success of a project means everyone on the team gets involved to get the job done, that’s all part of the process.
