PRESS RELEASE
October 14, 2011

Chenay Bay, St. Croix, US Virgin Island

Defender Resorts, Inc. recently established a recovery plan for Chenay Bay Resort, encompassing the hotel and timeshare operations with a full service restaurant, in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.  Following the filing of bankruptcy the resort, which was in distress was acquired by the financial institution who in turn contracted with Defender Resorts, Inc. for their expertise in handling distressed and compromised property.  “Our plan is simple, we want to bring the operations up to standards, improving the vacation experience for inbound guests, bring the budget in line with expectations, and improve sales and rentals.  Distressed property is always a challenge, but with our expertise we will turn the property around, bring it into profitability and make it attractive to both the owner/trustee as well as to the future buyer,” commented Mark Westbrook, President and COO.  Defender's transition team will be arriving at the resort within the week to begin assessing the site, establish the operations in the hotel, timeshare property and restaurant while improving the marketing with a focus on increasing occupancy, sales and rentals.  Frank Baker, Executive Vice President said, “We anticipate success in our sales and rental program.  Our goal is to get the property off of the rolls of the bank and turn it into a thriving resort worthy of the investment of new ownership.”  Chenay Bay is located at 5000 Estate Chenay Bay RT.82, East Ends Quarter, Christiansted, St. Croix, USVI 00824 and is affiliated with RCI.
