I am confused 65L when you say "reality"do you mean that it is a confirmed fact?
From perusal of this forum I understood that you were neither an owner in Corvera or in Roda so I just wonder where you get your information. Is it pure conjecture on your part because if it is you should not be posting it as "reality"? There are enough doom and gloom merchants out there without you purporting to know what you are talking about when you aren't even invested in either development. Who knows what your motivation is but it is not helping the many investors and residents of either development.
The "reality" is that De Vere staff are still working at Roda and I was talking to one of them during a short mid term break visit there. I was assured that whilst the management of the restaurant and clubhouse has been taken over for a year by a local Spanish company this in no way impacts on the plans to build a hotel eventually but in the current climate I am reassured that De Vere would not be so misguided as to start a hotel now when there are hotels in the area packing up and leaving.
The new car park which will be nearer the clubhouse is under construction, the golf club car park was packed every day and I was there from Friday night until last night, the badly needed new sports facilities are being built, I spoke to someone who is taking a unit in the commercial centre and it is starting shortly, the new supermarket/convenience store is opening beside the old pro's shop and there were plenty of people in the clubhouse every night where the food and service have improved and become cheaper. There is a new layout in the clubhouse and there were certainly more Spanish people eating there this time around although for work reasons I have only been down here twice in the past six months.
That is the "reality" and not my opinion but what I have seen and heard personally from those who are in a position to know. I suggest that until you have verified facts you desist from posting rumour on this forum as it helps noone and is detrimental and upsetting to those of us who are heavily invested in both resorts.
