hughman ...... iam sure there could be an advantage in spreading costs however not everything is actually about cost , some people are happy to pay a little more to have more space and privacy , if you look at the garden and pool  areas in phase 4 they actually vary in size according to the number of units allocated to them ....... with regard to what people were told by sales staff at time of purchase im sure we could all write a very long book unfortunatly very few of those sales pitches have turned out to be correct or indeed factual ... with regard to friends from other phases spending time with you around your pool area or you around theres cant see a problem and just assumed in naturally happened and indeed should be encouraged .

pommers ........ my point exactly the size of the pools and associated grounds were designed around the number of units allocated to that facality to open them up could (and i stress the word could ) possibly lead to over crowding and thus depriving owners of what they purchased ie a less crowded phase and more space for which the paid a premium price .. imho that should be respected .

i am in total agreement with debtors being denied use of facalaties on any phase ..... also that all communaties should pull together for the benefit of the resort and indeed all owners have facalaties ie all apartment blocks have pools etc ... were villa owners misled regarding pools by sales staff ? i have no idea i know from a personal perspective that we were misled however inmho just because they were misled does not mean that other phases should open up there facalaties to compensate for calidonas sales practise .... my initial point that the facalaties were designed for the number of units in that area to open the facalaties up to extra numbers from whatever source would inmho be detremental to owners in that area afterall is the guy in the villa with the private pool going to want me popping in to use it if ours is a bit crowded or noisy ? .... i understand that this would be an "opt in scheme for owners without a pool" however it is not "opt in " for the apartment owners already in those phases .... lets be realistic and with no personal inference to any owner without a pool the main reason they want to contribute to use the pool is presumably to save money ... afterall they bought a " detatched private villa " and now want to use a communal pool !

i feel that we have the basis of a superb resort where all apartments / townhouses have facalaties . and what shuold be the focus is the facalaties lacking for the WHOLE resort and how to go about improving the eyesore that is the hotel footings and tidying up the scrub land in certain areas , i would have thought this would be of benefit to all and set a better example and possibly enticing more people to buy on the resort which would benefit everyone .

i am sure all owners want the samething ie a completed resort with all the facalaties ... however in reality roda is made up of different phases and different designs of apartments / townhouses etc and people bought on different phases at different price points for there own reasons , villa buyers knew there was no pool , the fincas around phase 3 have no pool and no room to install one  (known at time of purchase ) phase 3 pools and grounds were designed around the number of apartments and occupants ..... in our case we purchased on phase 4 and paid a premium over other phases because of far more space in the garden and pool areas ... i cannot see why people using facalaties attatched to the property they purchased would cause tension or a divide afterall thats what they bought ...... and if people paid a higher price for what they considered better facalaties then it would seem only fair that this should be respected .....  surly the question is why would people want to use facalaties in other phases ? presumably only because its to crowded or onother phase would appear to have superior facalaties .

i for one want to see roda move forward and become the resort it is capable of being but on a resort of this size not really not really sure about a one brush fits all approach.

hi pommers .... no problem i agree with shutting the facalaties to outsiders as we noticed this when we rented on phase 2 ... what i was meaning to point out was imho it is not accepatble as a redident on lets say phase 1 to simply decamp to the pools on phase 4 for the day either because as you mention the pool area may be to crowded or you simply wish to make use of the childrens pool in a quieter area .
