came back thursday from San Juan after our first proper holiday there and first time in the summer and it was faboulos! the weather was great the sea was clear and the beeches were lovely. we stayed in one of Richard and Ava Clarkes villas and it was gorgous they couldnt do enough for us and were very proffesional. The development was so different from last October and all the houses now are built and some are painted as far down as phase 4. but we were shocked after travelling all that way to see it all fenced off like fort knox all the way round from top to bottom up to 100 yards away from the houses exept along the top phase 1 were you can stand and see them even the side roads by market car park you cant get up, and down beverly hills side they are starting the bungalows. on moday we went to see the show house,  after waiting almost 1/2 hour for some one to give the key over we went up it is lovely inside( youve seen the photos) but we wanted to see a 2 bed so while she was talking to some one I walked a couple of doors down and went in the kitchen door of one they were working in, the kitchen is a lovely size really spacious, there are 2 double wall cupbourds and 2 single, all on the one wall over cooker, one of the single has an opaque door. under the middle one there is a discreet cooker hood which slides out and lights up (comes with house), these are all white. at bottom there is 2 double and 1 single base units and 1 set of draws with a gap for dishwasher and oven all in brown, the plinths are silver, as are all handles. worktop is off white, kitchen door has glass panels.  we asked to see the 2 bed show house so back down we went only to be told it wasnt ready and come back thursday (home day). went back thursday and waited again only to be told no you cant see it the head bloke doesnt like the furiture and the curtains!!!! " but weve allready brought one" doesnt matter, you can come back tommorow, ( bit of a long way)  luckily on the Sunday night we had been out for a walk down beverly hills side and there was a gap in the fence so in we went, it was eerie in there and so quiete, i was so hoping there wasnt a big dog runnig around, we walked around  went in a few 2 beds, the lounge area seems much bigger than you imagine and the shower room all the tiling is good quality. we even found our own house! in phase 8 north side, it had the numer sprayed on it. it was all built and fully tiled the main bedroom feels really big, the wardrobe fills the one wall and has a boxed off pipe one end so it gives you a bit of an alcove in there. the bath was in (very dinky) and shower tray in downstairs. it was great to be in our own house, the stairs were not in just the concrete, roof terrace tiled and door on, we even had a sea veiw. went and had a look at phase 1 pool that was just a brick shell but good size with a smaller round pool next to it, our luck ended and the security guard whistled us, He was great though he was smilling and watched us go. so now I am glad we went in as i would have been dissapointed, because they dont care how far you go the bloke in charge wouldnt give an inch. We were told it should be December ours will be ready . hope this helps anyone. Sharon

I'm so proud of you Sharon! We asked to see a 2 bedroom so many times and were told to come back another day. We gave up in the end.  Sounds like the phase 1 pool is no where near finished so Habitation licenses may not be provided for a while yet.  I'm hoping the 2 beds have the same kitchen units as  the 3 bed showhouse. They were lovely.  Gas combi boilers - should be able to have a bath of hot water even if its a small bath.

Hi

Thanks for the photo's and for breaking in - we went at the end of March and whilst previously it was easy to get into the development, it can be tricky now, so well done!
We were told at the end of March the 2 bed showhouse at the front would be ready the following week, so we have been waiting for an update, good job we didn't hold our breath's!
We are on Phase 7 south facing and were told in March that our's would be ready around next March - it will then be 3 1/2 years of waiting!
Once we see the first 3 phases completed and people moving in, we will have a better idea of when the subsquent phases are likely to be completed.
Don't understand why they are not cracking on with finishing the pool area's for the earlier phases as they were digging the pools out when we were there.
You would think they would be wanting to get some further money out of the development through completions.
Thanks for sharing the photo's and the update - really appreciated.

Thanks for the great photo's and info really starting to feel like our house in Spain will get finished, Still got a feeling that they will not open the site until all the property and pools are finished. Hope to hell I am wrong as it would be great for Phases 1 2 & 3 to open, but like you say why are they not finishing the pools.

The application for habitation licence was passed to Pulpi on 3rd May and may take up to 3 months but likely it will take less.  I asked my solicitor  about what the licence included - the habitation licence just checks that the house is fit for habitation it is granted on the house , walkways and roads etc , the pools and green areas are not included, but why are they not finishing off these areas so that it looks more attractive to new purchasers?

We are on phase 1 and like everyone else we cant wait to move in.  Thanks for the photos Sharon you did well - glad security didnt give you a hard time.  We sneaked in when we were there in December, the site manager of Etosa was very annoyed when he caught us  - he just pointed to his hard hat.

Will post any positive news that comes through.
