Hi, We bought in Terrazas in 2009 and are absolutely delighted with our purchase. We visit regularly and it gets better every time. As per some of the comments below, please read some of the other posts on this forum where you will see many positive comments, and very little negativity, except maybe from those who bought during the boom hoping to make aa quick buck.

Terrazas was never going to be a quick fix resort. It was always a long term plan. We have waited quite some time to get a bar, and hope that everyone supports it so it stays. Unlike La Torre for instance, which had every conceivable facility to start with and over the past 3 years has gradually seen most of them disappear.  We are also fortunate at Terrazas to have one of the better maintained golf courses in the area, which is always busy. There are many owners in Terrazas who bought for their own enjoyment, not to rent out for profit or to make a quick buck on and everyone I have spoken to who owns there over the past 3 years since we moved into our apartment feels exactly the same way...it is an excellent, well looked after community which can only ever improve.

~Out next week for a month and can't wait....

Hi All

We completed on Phase 1 in 2009, also having been sold the dream, and whole package, bars, restaurants, shops, sports facilities, club house etc.

It is disappointing that none of these things have yet come to fruition, however we all have to remember that the last 3 years have seen the biggest ever worldwide recession, which has caused everything to essentially shut down, including the provision of all of these promised facilities. Just take a look round some of your own high streets etc to see the effect.  Even look at LaTorre.......tihs is a finished resort, which once provided loads of facilities, albeit, a Polaris World monopoly, the bars and restaurants were expensive, food quality in the restaurants very average and service was generaly very poor. OVer the past 3 years, the residents have seen nearly all of those facilities taken away from them, being left with even less choise in the Polaris monopoly. 

Thank goodness that didn't happen on our resort. I would far rather wait for the facilities to open gradually and for there to be a little bit of choice and maybe even competition eventaully, than to have everything then see it taken away.  I do think the biggest disappointment is that we have a fabulous golf course with no 19th.  This doesn't even make financial sense when you see how busy the golf course is, a 19th hole would be a little gold mine.

Despite the lack of facilities, we still love our apartment and visit regularly.  Despite the resort being "unfinished" I still think it is a lovely place, which is well looked after by the community through Resortalia management company who do an excellent job.

It is in an up and coming area of Spain, close by some fabulous cities and beaches with lots of little towns and villages to go out and explore.

I think everyone just has to be a little bit patient.  Compared to some other uncompleted resorts, I think we are very lucky!

This may not apply to those who purchased apartments before the recession hit looking to make a quick buck, but for those who bought theirs to enjoy as their little place in the sun, make the most of it,

I am optomistic that once the world economy starts to pick up, which it has to, things will start to move again and we will eventually have an even more fabulous resort than the one we have now.

We have ours through Bancaja, 157 euros for the year, and unfortunately, we had a little flooding incident in our apartment so have had to make a claim and everything went smoothly, can't fault them at all, insurance assessor came round, wrote a report and within 6 weeks they had paid out.  Can recommend.
