This poor guy has had a nightmare with his previous keyholder & I think he's doing the exactly the right thing!

1) Warning everyone to check their holiday homes - check the bills, turn up unexpected from time to time, just make sure the keyholders are not doing anything they shouldn't.

We have a few neighbours in our block who also keep an eye on our apartment when there at Condado and would report back if there was any movement.

2) Sacking the keyholder and moving to someone more trustworthy.

3) Not naming & shaming on a public forum and not going to the Police or any official body.

It's a personnel decision and it's hard to say what you'd do unless you were unfortunate enough to be in the situation, but I agree with Jackinbox. An unoccupied apartment in Spain has got to be an easy target for retribution. It's always difficult to know what to do when you've been wronged, obviously official action would be warranted but most people would rather just move on and not keep looking over their shoulder or worrying about their apartment 1000s of miles away. I would however name and shame to friends, face to face or private e-mail but not on the public forum in full view of everyone.

It seems a lot of posts get turned upside down and every word questioned. Let's give people a break, we are all here for each other (Except this keyholder).

Hi,

I'm about to purchase a Sat Nav to give to my guests, which will hopefully make life easy for them getting to and from Airports etc. Plan is to have Condado pre-saved as a favourite destination so they just switch on and go basically. Has anyone got some advice on the best one to buy?

Thanks

Iain

Car hire is a major part of our holidays at Condado and we've tried a few companies. We were going to try F&C next time mainly because of the low price but after reading these posts and with 2 young kids in tow, we need to be dealing with a company we can trust. Think for now we'll pay a little more and stick with Solmar who have always given us a decent car for a reasonable price.

Cheers for the heads up Kev

Hi Mejazi,

Not sure if the waterparks will be open in October but for future ref', we took our 2 kids (3 & 6yrs) to Vera & Murcia waterparks recently. Murcia was good although Vera was excellent, very clean and plenty of fun for all ages all day. Murcia was less clean but not to bad, a lazy river, which is always good but the down side was hiring loungers & carrying them to your lounging spot and returning them when finished. You also have to pay 3euros for a lounger at Vera but they are set-up around the park for you to pick a spot and wait for someone to pop by and take the cash.

Footy wise, if you ask the Clover Staff nicely I'm sure they could maybe accomodate, otherwise I'd imagine Alley Palley will have the old firm on.
