PROPERTIES FOR SALE IN GRAN ALACANT SANTA POLA

I thought i would just say how much i enjoyed visiting HR back in June. I own a property on there of which my father Len lives in. I visited with my brother and our partners and my nephew. They had a fantastic time, as did i. Of course things are still to happen, mainly the town centre but we enjoyed immensely visiting la torre and Mar menor. You can only look on in excitement at how HR will turn out. i still think HR overall with its buildings and vast space will be the jewel in the crown.My mother nan and aunt have just returned from again a fantastic week of sunshine and relaxation on HR. They cannot wait to return. I just wanted to be positive after reading so many posts on here. I too am dissapointed that the town centre is not completed, but i value my health so i am not going to have a heart attack over it. As with the communtiy charge i live in east london and pay 900 pounds a year for a 32 block and have constnat problems with rubbish cleaning etc.I  am not a rich kid but i do feel i got value for money on HR. I hope we can all be more positive, after all today was the anniversary 0f 9/11. How many of those lost would give anything to be us in our situation?

Hi Nic

I totally agree that Hacienda Riquelme has got the potential to be the best resort of all of them.   We had a lovely week despite a very bad start which I'm sure you heard about - nothing to do with Polaris or HR - and we were grateful for the pool during the lovely hot weather that Spain has been lucky to have had.       We were with Pepa from Resortalia when she got a phone call and tried to explain to the gentleman at the other end of the phone what the community fees cover, and it appears that there are still people who think the cost  will go up as the entertanment facilities appear which is not the case at all as these costs will all be borne by Polaris.     It may appear a tad expensive to begin with (although the service fees of our one bed flat in Essex are more than that), but we are looking forward to the time when we will feel our community fees will be well worth it to have entertainment, restaurants and sporting facilities etc right on our doorstep at no extra cost to the apartment owners.

It may seem like the 'rose coloured glasses' effect, but we touched down to the much lower temperature of the UK a few hours ago and I know where I would much prefer to be right now.

Hi

We have just returned from our first visit to Hacienda it was extremely brief but we got a good impression.  We thought the drive up was impressive with the other golf resort which we thought was good to be near so that any future golfers renting out would have the choice between playing on the two courses.  When the town centre is complete it will simply add to the appeal of Hacienda and we were assured that a small Boutique Hotel would be built too.  We viewed several appartments which were all slightly different and decided on one which we think is right for us and are quite excited and are looking forward to meeting some of our neighbours.
