Jack,
The original post was about the Hacienda town centre and we would all welcome any news on the HR town centre but please don't post it on this page, it should be on the HR forum.
I took the liberty of going onto the web link on your post and would like to remind you of what is posted on your own website - as follows:
Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort Services
- Community centre with coffee-shops, pubs and a restaurant
- Travel agency and car hire
- Kiosks with international newspapers
- Sports complex with a fitness centre, outdoor and indoor swimming pools
- Commercial centres, banks and cashpoints
- Daycare Centre
- Restaurants and supermarkets with home delivery service
- Medical centre
- Decorating and remodelling
- Gardening
Apart from the last two items which I'm not sure I understand, none of the above are available on Hacienda and the resort has been open for more than a year.
The lack of facilities on-site mean that owners are suffering, rentals are suffering and PW must be suffering from the resulting poor occupancy rates and take up of golf. Although the temporary supermarket is OK for basic needs and the staff are friendly, the temporary bar is a bit of a joke. As for the portable shwers and WCs, you really ought to go over and take a look.
We keep being told that its a planning problem but I have heard comments that don't bear that out. I was also told over Xmas whilst over there that PW had recently nogotiated a €145M loan to complete the resorts. I know this is speculation but would you like to comment??
HRGR is a lovely resort and in the early days, we were 'Happy Haciendans' because we believed all would be sorted.
Unfortunately the lack of progress and most importantly the lak of information from PW has soured a lot of people.
We look forward to any information you can post to us 'Unhappy Haciendans.'
