Once again,

I must refer to my previous message as CDS owners must stop comparing the two projects.

First of all they are two completely different licenses of operation. CDS are freehold apartments with facilities run and maintained by the community (and I agree in all fairness to Luxurman and others that these arent as they were promised),

But CDSS is an aparthotel (meaning hotel license) offered fully furnished and it will be run as a hotel, with a full management team onsite at all times. Why are they doing this? well like most businesses, to make a profit. What profit will they make if they offer the apartments poorly finished, especially having marketed them to comapnies like Arsenal, Accor (largest management group in europe), etc. 

Developers build all over the world, and the qualities of each development will vary based on price as well. CDS buyers would have bought a 2 bed around €220k, whereas CDSS is more like €277k.

I fully understand Luxmans frustrations on the first site, but this is a different ball game.

Also, I checked out CMP reply and found out that all units will be the same, the football village is just marketed in a different way to football clubs.

Besides, do you really believe companies like Arsenal will propose a project to their fans and investors and not check it out first? Just a thought.

I also agree on the points that luxman and Hurricane make that a good lawyer needs to be used and everything needs to be checked, on any property you buy anywhere. And I don't mean a lawyer presented by the estate agent, get an independent one. Maybe a friends recomendation, etc.

I wish everyone the best with there purchases and I actually still believe that in the long run, even cds will be a good investment and will look really nice, it may take some years though,

Regards,

Dear All,

I have recently bought in casares del sol suites and as I always do, I have  done all my research especially after seeing all the internet feedback.

I dont think many owners here understand that casares del sol and casares del sol suites are two completely different projects.

I do believe there are many disgruntled owners that have bought in casares del sol, the previous project to this one. I also believe this is due to agents having over sold it to them. Alot of the anger from these owners have been directed in the wrong direction and actually misleading other people from a good buy.

Firstly, let me explain the layout of the companies involved.

1. Interlaken - The developer

2. Med Luxury Homes - A promoter that sold casares del sol

3. Orange - Actual promoter of casares del sol suites

The developer has nothing to do with the sales process, therefore if someone has been mislead it's either from the agent they bought it from, or from the promoter, med luxury homes.

Due to the complaints from clients med luxury homes was not given the new project to sell. Therefore it is a completely different company marketing casares del sol suites (orange).

At the end of the day the developer only has an obligation to deliver what is in writing, so in this case the developer has complied.

Therefore it is unfair to assume that this project will have the same outcome simply because some unscrupolous agents or promoters over sold the previous one.

All which is offered in this project is actually in writing and it is an aparthotel complex, which constitutes a completely different type of license and operational complex. It is run as a hotel.

So please, it would be great if owners posting messages would adhere to the facts and not use this site, which is a great way to comunicate, to let out there frustrations for bad decisions that they made without proper research. I am excited about my purchase and certain unresearched and false comments do cause me some irritation,

Sincerely

Jonathan Harts
