A deeply distressing outcome for the depositors.  They were sold a complete pup.  This decison was made in a local court and ther can be no surprise that the outcome was found in favour of the developer. 

It's dreadful that it seems to have taken so long to come to this decision at a local level.  It is enough to weaken the strongest resolve and the deepest pocket.  It is surely designed to weaken the possibility of appeal.

My understanding of this situation has always been that units were sold on the understanding that the development would be a high end luxury resort.  The hotel was an integral part of this.  The De Vere link was crucial and a major part of the marketing.  However if you delve deeply it is apparent that there was never a formal contract between De Vere and Calidona.  It's outrageous that the literature produced by Calidona should have included the De Vere branding IMO.

I believe EU funding was made available to build a hotel on Corvera on the basis it would generate employment.  Whether it was recieved might be worth looking at.  Although Calidona sensibly made a point of forming several separate legal identities to deal with different parts of its business and will therefore be prepared to wipe it's hands of any responsibilities.

If this judgement is being based strictly upon what was delivered it might be worth reviewing exactly what was built in comparison to what was signed for in the plans ie looking at aspect, actual square meterage, specification of finish etc.  But that's a pretty long shot.

It's not going to happen!  It seems that the major stumbling block is that Corvera doesn't have enough facilities to offer the refugees............you couldn't make it up.  

This Rizo character is an absolute bell-end.

May I just say that it's people like Sandra and Hugh that make the resort work.  They clearly care about the community on Roda.  I no longer have a property in Spain and have no vested interest, but think they are great!

Hi Mark, for a family friendly beach I think the Mar Menor is fantastic and I would recommend staying near Los Alcazares.  

Perhaps the best urbanisation in the area to stay would be Roda Golf.  There are plenty of apartments to rent at very good prices and the resort is really well maintained.  You will also be able to use the communal pool, however please be careful as to which pool you are allowed to use.

As you daughter is 3 years old the sea at the Mar Menor is wonderful (and just 5 mins drive) and shallow and some of the communal pools have areas suitable for paddling / play.  There is nromally a funfair opposite the urbanisation but it can be expensive.

Please also make sure that the apartment has air con as you will need it in the summer.

Downside is that it may be near Murcia?
