Hi!
We have had an apartment on the complex since last May and have spent many happy days there already!  I have known of some burglaries, but when you talk to those who have unfortunately had this experience many admit to making some vital errors of judgement! Especially things like leaving the apartment without pulling down the shutters! The burglars are opportunists and will spot when somone has arrived on holiday and go out for their first evening meal - leaving the shutters up etc.  

I don't think our complex is any worse than any other. You just have to be aware that these things happen and take precautions. If you are on the ground floor make sure you have strong grilles fitted BEFORE you put any belongings into your aparmtment.

I'm sure you will love your apartment when you move in - when do you expect it to be ready? Have you looked at the Puerto Marina Owners Website? You can pick up some up to date information there too.

Best of luck!

I agree with you - I think grilles are at least one more layer the burglars have to try to get through and we are hoping they will avoid the apartments with the grilles.  It may be a bit tedious, but we were so carefull to lock the grilles every time we left the complex and even when we were all at the pool we had the grilles locked (and our apartment is right in front of the pool!!!) With so many people wandering around you can never be sure who is meant to be there and who isn't.  We are in block 13 and were worried to hear that ground floor in block 13 (we are ground floor in block 13) had been hit! Our key holder has checked and all is well!

Another rainy day in MK!!! Can't wait for next Saturday and to feel some sunshine! I probably won't want to leave the apartment now that we will actually be sleeping in our own place and setting it all up!  Hope all have a safe trip out. Conrad - do you fly from Luton?? We're on the evening flight, so get into St Javier about 9.30pm.
