The problem I think we all face at the moment is that there is very little at Condado in the way of facilities - at the moment we don't even know whether there will be a restaurant or bar available and there is no golf for the foreseeable future. That makes it difficult to justify what would be the correct rental price for this quality of accommodation on a 5* resort.
I agree that Jackie's figures are probably in the right ball park - you could may be even charge a little higher for a three bedroomed property - but personally at the moment I would not want to pay rental at that level because of the lack of facilities. Jackies's figures are roughly those that we had thought of for our two bedroomed apartments when things are up and running on the resort.
I have been looking at La Torre and Roda Golf properties for rent for one week in August just while we get our apartments furnished and ready to occupy, with the intention of staying in the apartment at Condado for the second week. The prices at La Torre and Roda Golf are probably a little less than Jackie's figures, and that is on a completed resort with facilities available.
We have accepted that unless we offer rentals at a reduced rate for the time being, there will probably be little incentive to stay at Condado. We took the view that "something is better than nothing" but Tony is right that too low is not helpful to any of us.
What is the general view of a reasonable rate say over the next six months whilst the resort has little or no facilities? Do people agree that the rentals can probably rise steadily over the next six to twelve months, or maybe even longer, until we reach the optimum rental figures for a completed resort with all the facilities you would expect on a 5* complex. Would be interested to hear other views on this.
