interesting postings on the corvera forum regarding the commercial center deposits being returned to prospective tennants and the construction being put on hold , more bad news for roda owners .

does anyone know why the construction of phase 4 stops at block 8 ? when the whole of phase 4 is due to be completed no later than may 2010 ? .

excellent post hugh_man  , common sence should prevail , calidonas promotional dvd does indeed show the buggy track being used by joggers .

 just a thought why are golfers getting stressed about people using the track ? are the fairways not wide enough ?

i would have thought there were a lot more pressing and important issues to address ie at the beginging of the year we were informed the commercial center build was imminent as planning approval had been obtained antbodyany ideas what is happening ?

the new sports facalaties (welcome as they are) appear to have been built on part of the site earmarked for the hotel , are they proposing to move these if and when the hotel is built ? would appear not to be a very cost effective way of doing things .

totally agree with your comments , perhaps i phrased it wrongly what i was trying to illustrate is the fact that the region is not a particulally wealthy area and the potential for long term lets at the sort of rents required to make the resort viable to the investers who own these units is very limited .

the first thing to say is that krodas and family deserve everyones support and backup as who knows it maybe one of us next .

the problem of undesirable renters and agents acting for them however imo is a different issue and is more to do with a chronic over supply of units for rent ( thus driving rents down) spains particular economic problems and the demographics of the local area . a lot of phase 1 - 2 were sold to investers who have seen capital values fall and are forcast to keep on falling unti  2012 , they cannot sell in this market  are struggaling to get holiday lets as spains tourism industry suffers in the cuttent downturn as such they are happy to take whatever they can get and will deal with other issues at a later date .

having spent a lot of time in the local area i fail to see where the highly paid transient jobs are that would support the level of rental required to make investing on roda ( or any other resort ) an attractive proposition the area imo is not a well healed area and as such i would assume less desirable people would jump at the chance of living on roda what else is available of a similar standard ?

it would appear that it is a viscious circle , relativly low demand for holiday lets  - over supply of units - capital values in freefall - relativly low paid locals for long term lets - and what appears to be no recourse for undesirable tennents .

can the appropriate residents associations enforce any action against tennents ? as for the other issues time and lots of it may or may not rectify the situation . i guess we will just have to wait and see .

not really one for forums but thought i would add my experiance having just returned from roda .

there was a considerable amount of dog fouling around the walkways on phase 2 never really noticed this before not  very good for people looking around with a view to buying ( if there are any ) .

was very suprised to see a teenager using roda golf buggies to transport other teenagers to and from the clubhouse late at night using the public footpath , was even more suprised when i saw them in the clubhouse and they were with a party of a calidona employee on site , i was under the impression calidona were trying to create  5 * resort not having the public walkways turned into buggy tracks for teenage kicks !!

just my opinion maybe im getting grumpy in my old age .
