Kroda,

No worries, i am not offended.

I think your right, no one should put up with dogs fouling on Roda.

It does seem to be a culture thing in Spain though, 'doggy bins' don't appear to be used.

I think on this issue, they are 20 years behind the brits.

I would go as far as to say (I will get panned for this) that I can't see the point in keeping dogs in apartments, surely you should have a garden if you want a dog?

Some people say they are for security, but those castle strength front doors seem pretty good security to me and you don't have to tread in dog Shit£ to get through them? Just a thought.....

Valinda,

Fair enough and i do agree with a lot of your points.

My comments were aimed at presenting my views from last weekends visit.

I found it to be excellent, no issues at all.

My point was that washing being dried and the odd chair by a pool doesn't offend me, nor does it mean that it's looking like a council estate (some council estates are very nice...)

I think it is more damaging to rentals when posts are made that bring the place down.

I mean, seriously, if I was surfing the net looking for a holiday let and came across some of the posts similar to your one. I would look elsewhere. Surely that is more of an issue than washing on a terrace?

The dogs issue and broken glass in the pool are major issues and you 100% correct to push for some action.

But i wanted to bring some balance to the thread and i hope i have done that?

Good luck with the neighbour from hell, I wonder what he is doing all night.....?

It was obvious, but I think that she meant the following:-

"Doom Merchants" = Read, People who paid a deposit and then were subsequently let down for years on end and now find themselves in a financial crisis and have an opinion that may differ to some more fortunate potential purchasers.

"Yesterday" = Read, 2005

 

JDY, sorry to hear it and good luck going forward.

Calm down dear....

May I offer some balance?

I have just returned from a long weekend on my apartment on Phase 3.

I have to say it was spot on, no issues of it being 'down trodden', in fact I had a good walk round all phases and was very impressed with the maturity of the development. The properties looked fantastic, as did the bedding plants, trees and general landscape was really very good.

Yes there was the odd person by the pool with a chair, yes the odd washing is being dried and the odd balcony has been glazed to provide a sun room (for a parrot?). But I didn't see anything that would cause me any stress, in fact it added a bit of character and life to the place.

I absolutely agree that 'rule breakers' need to be addressed, but It doesn't have to be a stuffy place with no life, a good community is a mix of different people with different backgrounds, if they are just renting or not shouldn't matter.

Comments about people on council estates are not productive to acheiving a balanced resort and besides everyone is entitled to go on holiday and enjoy themselves.

Just like "posh" people need to dry their clothes.

I would suggest next time you see someone not doing exactly what you want them to, you sit down, crack open a bottle of Shiraz and enjoy the sun! .........I know i would.

Forgive me for saying this as I hope it does not sound sarcastic.

But what ideas are required for a shortcut?

Surely a well lit path is all that is required?

No one is expecting a road are they?
