Hello everyone,
My husband and I just bought an appartment last week in phase 2 block 269. We went over te see it and are all excited about it. I hope we made a good choice. I just found this forum and find it very interesting.
I have a few questions.
We thought that the airco was just a matter of installing a small something (don't know the word in English), but I found out it will need a whole installation which costs neartly 2000 euros. Do most people have this installed. Is it absolutely necessary in the summer?
What about the tv? Do we need to buy anything in order to get european channels?
We have ordered all our furniture at DFS and are planning to come out for the May holidays. We can't wait to see it all finished. How is the weather at that time. Will it be warm enough to go swimming. We have a daughter of 10 who just loves swimming.
Do we need to get in touch with anyone (I read about a 'block president'?).
I see that there are a lot of English in the resort. Are there also other nationalities? (we are Dutch).
Look forward to getting some responses. Any tips or suggestion are very welcome.
Marian and Ahmed
