I am glad others agree - as I was starting to think I was a grumpy old man.

There are signs to illustrated that reserving of beds is not allowed - but they they are not prominent enough.

The lifeguard is very good and will often tell you to remove towells. The problem with us British is we are too polite and it would be easier for most if the lifeguard removed the towells for us and started to press home certain rules for the benefit of everyone else.

I think this is a problem that will escalate if not nipped in the bud - and at some point there will be a poolside altercation that none of us want to see.

AEA are a waste of time!!

Hi all.

We just returned home from DV after 20days of glorious sunshine.

Holiday was great. The only annoying factor was that there seems to be a culture starting of people keeping beds for themslves all day. And families keeping whole areas for themselves all day everyday.

People go to lunch for hours at a time and put their sunbeds out of use for everyone else.

On one occasion I watched over 2 beds( with an umbrella) with towells on - left for over three hours before two teenagers decided to return. These two girls then jumped in the water for a couple of hours and never used the beds. In that three hours I watched several people/families looking for beds and after a while leaving the poolside as there was nowhere to sit.

Also there are large families/groups taking up 6 or more beds when thier young children are never going to use them as they stay in the water and kids dont generally sun bathe. I watched one group keep eight to ten beds all day on a regular basis - when not more than three or four were ever being used at any one time.

We were a family of six adults and generally took 3-4 beds between us - and when we went to lunch we gave up the beds - as we should.

Come on fellow residents - play fair and have some thought for other users!

Reserving sun beds is not allowed. I for one will take a bed if I need one and the towel will be gently placed on the floor.

I too would support some sort of regular transport from DV to port.

There is traffic and parking chaos in the port and Sabinnillas at busier times. When the development is completed and there is more widespread occupation the situation will get much worse. Cars are abandoned on the hill near the garden centre, which is quite dangerous towards the top of the hill.

DV is still virtually empty - whats it going to be like when everybody has moved in?

There is an hourly bus route down from Manilva. Why not from DV?? I'm sure that will will haveto happen eventually to relieve traffic and parking problems.

This will just make getting from a to b easier to have a meal or a drink and will add to the enjoyment of the area.

Unfortunately I too cannot make this meeting at such short notice.

We have just come back from Duquesa and there are several issues I would like to raise.

1. The river at the front of the complex, has turned into a dumping ground for the builders and gardeners. The rubbish down there is unbelievable and very unsightly. When is this going to cleaned up.

2. I completed in October and have started paying community charges. What am I getting at this moment in time?. My lift does not work, the gardens untouched, the pool closed, the communal areas outside my appartment  ( Block 7) are full of dust, dirt and rubble.

3. The pool near block 12 have recently received the benefit several small flimsy wooden unbrellas fixed into the ground. These umbrellas are no good to man nor beast. If you are lucky you could shade a couple of children as long as they stand directly underneath.

At the moment the village is like a ghost town (apart from the builders) and I am really looking forward to seeing some other people move in.

At some stage in the future - when it is busier - it would be useful if there was a bus service to the village. Does anyone know if this is a possibility.

Apart from all that wingeing were really happy with our purchase and looking forward to the summer when hopefully the place wont look so much like a building site and we might be able to get into the pool!
