We were out in March and again end of June and both times stayed in hotel Duquessa Golf which is right beside where the apts are. The rooms are mini apartments with seperate bedroom and fridge and lovely bathroom also terrace or balcony. Walking distance to Sabinellas and the Port and also the apartments. Gave us a good feel for the place. Isabella is the duty manager there and makes you feel so welcome. Food just ok, only took breakfast and ate out the rest of the time but had a lovely time. Paid about 70 euros a night but that was out of season. They have also just opened a spa and of course they are on the golf course. So would fully recommend them.

Hi

I didn't realise there were problems with the electricity, I thought it was just the water supply. Does anyone know when the pipe is fixed where the water is supplied from ,is there a reservoir serving the area and will it not be struggling with the extra drain on it ? Also im not sure about the power station, does that not also mean there will be pylons in the vicinity, if so Im not sure im happy how safe this would be. We decided against a lovely property prior to buying in Arenal because there were pylons planned in the immediate area as we were worried about the radiation levels as we have young children, so im thinking this is not good news all of a sudden and this needs to be clarified for people to feel safe. Its just one thing after another with this development.

I agree with an earlier posting, some media coverage would be a good idea. Some of the developments from hell programmes would jump at the chance to cover this and will mean the developers will have no chance of reselling if we all pull out, no one will touch it with a barge pole after the TV is finished with it, no one from Britain anyway. In the long run that will leave them needing us to complete and there may be some form of compensation for us in that case just to keep us on board. Maby an agreement to pay our IVA or something may be possible. Im contacting my lawyer today with a view to my options, I have an independant lawyer but even she has not yet been in contact with me even though I have informed her of this site and assume she has tapped into it or then again maby not, anyway ill remind her again that I exist.

Hi

Anybody heard any update on flygib low cost airlines. At present its possible to fly from leeds using monarch airlines but its expensive enough and if you dont live on the mainland then you have another flight which is more expense and more time consuming. It makes the convenience of spain not so convenient. Flying into Malaga is ok but if you dont drive its expensive and quite a journey to Duquessa. Im hoping to use Gibraltar but no signs of any movement on the low cost airline yet. Anybody heard why its not happening and is it likely to happen at all.

Hi

I too have bought in Duquessa and have just found this forum. Can anyone tell me when you talk about roads do you mean the ones directly in front of the phase 1 or do you mean the main road beside the motor340. Will that be considered part of the developers work to finish or will that be the council or who. They are an awful mess and really bring down the whole look of the area as you drive along the main road. Just wondering if anyone knows.
