Rental Experiences - Feedback from clients

Ladies and gents, thought I'd throw in some of my experiences and guest comments from our year to date. We are manzana 4 by the way.

So far we have had our best year but prices have had to come down and we have worked much harder at getting the bookings. Repeats this year have been better and longer, and word of mouth has helped. Referrals from the websites are down, but occassionaly there are some good rentals.

Guests have commented how good the place is and how well served it is in terms of restaurants and the new shop. Feedback for Andys restaurant has been universally excellent (I might even go myself as im heading out this weekend) though La Reserva whose reputation was reasonable when it first opened has failed to maintain its high standards and fallen off our guests favourites. El Rancho (thought not my personal favourite) keeps getting great comments year on year so bravo.

On a side issue, ive been inundated by new rental  companies offerring mega rentals but havent been convinced by any.

Facts are facts, the coast is quiet, its expensive if you are coming from the UK so i continue to have to work hard to get guests to committ, but once they are there, it is positive!

Whats it been like for the rest of you?   

All of our guest's think La Reseva is great,  they love the peace, lovely pool ( block 7), love the view and generally Marbella, which is why we choose the area.

As for La Reserva Resturant at the bottom of the hill it was great when it first opened, we went  in the summer and my wife's steak was a very distant relative of the cow  .......thank goodness we have Andy's.

We have had a few rents this year ,not completely book up and certainly not at the rate we were told by a certain person who can't be mentioned!!!!!!!!( more lies)

We love our appartment and look forward to our next visit

Adios  JAMES

nice one DAN!!!!

Think your poorer experiences must be few and far between. When over a few weeks ago, the place was very busy most evenings, the food was excellent and service was too. Really nice.

I think we should encourage ALL businesses who believe in our area sufficiently to invest huge amounts speculatively to serve our (tenants) needs and improve the area - particularly in these difficult times.

Andy´s, La Reserva, Z-bar and the Chinese - USE THEM OR LOSE THEM!

Then again, it would give something else for people to moan about if they closed, I suppose...
