I have just returned from Spain. I had hoped to stay in marina dor, but when I arrived my apartment hadnt been completly furnished by alexander homes despite having paid them to do so last september. There were no blankets or duvets and it was cold there so it was impossible to stay. My remote for the air con was missing. They gave me a new one. They explained that the pools are not cleaned until the start of June as it is too cold to use them. They are only used from June to September. There is a maintanance person for each building. They had very high winds over there in the past few weeks which did alot of damage to the shutters of the apartments. What I did find out is that we purchased our apartment from Marina Dor which cost us 242,000 plus IVA and I could purchase the very same new aprtment in the block next door for around 190,000 if I bought from alexander homes. We will have to wait a very long time just to make our money back. Maybe when the golf course etc goes in and Marina Dor have stopped selling we MIGHT get our money back. We are paying a mortgage for this so I hope we can wait it out!
I would love to know how much other payed for their apartments.
