This is the Jabberwock Beach Hotel, on the island of Antigua, BWI, as it looked about 1967. There's nothing left of it now but some concrete steps and what looks like a storage room.

I was using a Yashica 635 twin-lens reflex camera and b&w film.

And this is the Blue Waters Hotel, also taken about 1967. The hotel is still there but has been completely renovated. It looks nothing like this now.

That is a real shame, Roy... those 2 hotels look like a very nice place to stay. Do you have what they look like today for comparison?

I've only seen them on Google Earth since about 1970 or so. On there, the Jabberwock Hotel isn't there at all anymore, and the Blue Waters has seen a lot of upgrades and renovations. I'd like to see them again, but probably never will.
