Hi everyone

We agree that it is a good idea that the furniture is the same throughtout the properties that they are renting, but what we aren't happy with is the standard of the furniture and the cost of it.  Let's wait and see what the new package brings - we'll be looking at the show home in February - if anyone sees it before then, let us know what you think of the furniture/value for money.

Hi everyone

On the 25th november we were told the beach club would be ready may or june of 2007.  Some issue as to what boat they are going to use - either get their own, or use one currently in service - either way there will be a 'nominal charge' for crossing the mar menor.

Hi everyone

We'll be staying at Roda from Feb 10th to 17th.

Would be glad to meet up with anyone who is there to discuss progress/gossip etc. especially as far as the furniture/rental is concerned.

Hi everyone

We saw our neighbours  furniture package - supplied by Roda - on the 25th November.  The wood was so dark brown it was almost black, poor quality e.g. melamine strip coming off the side of the brand new table.  There was only soft seating for 3 people although since complaining this has now changed along with the bright yellow sofa.  The pictures were pretty dodgy, but now where near as bad as the beds which were possibly the most uncomfortable ones I have ever seen in spain. All this for a snip at 13,000 euros!

Our neighbours furniture package is being returned.  When we last saw them they were heading to a hotel so they could get a good nights sleep!  Is there anyone out there who has bought furniture from them and is happy with it?

We were told that Roda would be renting the properties, and not DeVeres.

We have said that although we want to rent with them, we will not buy such poor quality but expensive furniture from them.  We've been e-mailing Roda regularly to try and get them to change this package - please join in and add to the pressure.
