I'm new to this posting thing, though not new to Roda. 

I have spent quite some time looking at the posts on this and Corvera and I have to say my glass should be taken away through the dishwasher and on the rinse cycle looking at how miserable some of the threads are!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - Use the threads for what their title suggests otherwise valuable information will get lost in the chatter, as good, bad or ugly as it gets

I like many bought on Roda, got stung by MRI, got a lawyer (now replaced) based in Calpe (name withheld in case of litigation etc etc etc.....) Got my apartment 18 months late, dealt with Calidona's dreadful customer service, and all of the snags, no air-con in August!!, water coming through the walls thanks to burst pipes and no heating in November!!. 

BUT I bought because the product was what I wanted, great apartment 10 minutes from the airport on a FANTASTIC golf course with the opportunity of the other benefits (hotel, spa etc). Clubhouse (Excellent), golf facilities (excellent), professionals(excellent), rest of the facilities (work in progress), hotel (we'll see), beach club (who cares hate sand)

Steve,

I have a penthouse in Phase " and we have had problems with our boiler since we completed 2 years ago,  the main fault was a broken pipe inside the wall of one of the bedrooms which was picked up early and Calidona repaired.  But the valves on the radiators particularly those in the bathrooms are corroded and leaking, we and our management company have tried to get Calidona to fix them for two years but no luck, we will have to get independent plumbers out, let us know how you get on.

Taxi from airport to Roda Phase 2 was 11-12 Euros this weekend, pick them up directly outside the airport terminal, no need to book.

I have just returned from Roda and the mini-mart was a god send for the Easter weekend, no pun intended.  Having flown in on Thursday and got a taxi, having a place to buy the essentials meant we could relax and enjoy our weekends golf.  Best of luck to Sue and Paul, they are providing a very valuable service that all of us owners should use and help grow.  Face facts guys the world economy is through the floor and particularly Spain so anyone putting their neck out to provide us with a much needed service needs our support.

As a golfer it was great having a shop between the front and back nine as the golf course is no longer running the refreshment cart service, not economically viable for the new management of the clubhouse apparently.

The shop also has an email ordering service now as some of the essentials like bread go very quickly, if my memory is correct it's theminimarket @ hotmail . es (remove the spaces the posting police won't let me put the email address in until I've made 10 posts - unbelievable) but if I'm wrong someone is bound to correct me ;o)

We spoke to Paul and gave him a few ideas and hopefully they will be getting an ice-cream concession soon.

Does anyone have information from the AGM about the proposal for penthouse owners to replace the spiral stairs to the roof terrace?  We heard that the proposal is to replace with metal straight stairs rather than stone built ones, better than the spiral for sure but still not perfect.

Also, my spiral staircase is causing cracks in the walls and floor at roof level and all of the paint exposed to the sun is peeling off, has anyone else experienced this and got ideas on how to fix until we can (hopefully) replace the spiral?
