Hotel not opening

Just been told by Marta that the Hotel will not be opening due to lack of funds.

Melia may think again in 2011 but meanwhile they are looking for a new Hotel group to take it on.

Sad news.Seemed too good to be true.

Totally gutted by that depressing news!!!

I didn't see it coming!!!!  I thought since the hotel was almost complete and the gardens were being planted up it was definately going to open.

The place desperately needs something to open up, whether its the IT Bar, the Inn or a Kiosk in the village.

Let's hope there's some good new soon.

We were over a couple of weeks ago  and like you saw the trees and plants. Even the bank said it would probaly open after the summer.A neighbour of ours said he had just recieved a questionaire asking what type of resturants and bars would be good.

Scoobydoo might know some more imformation.

Sol Melia agreed to a contract a couple of years ago,I am surprised that they could go back on it.

Lots of different stories floating around at the moment, some say yes and others say no, some say Sol Melia, others say they are trying to source another company! I have spoken with lots of different people who should know, and frankly it appears really that nobody really knows what is going to happen.

Intercontinental open two hotels within the region over the last couple of years, and both have been given back to the developer (Polaris), the Inter' flag continues to fly over those hotels but on a franchise basis!

It does seem strange that they would plant the gardens if it were to be mothballed!

'Fraid only time will tell!

The Kiosk in the Spanish Village is taking shape and the cafe/bar down by the driving range is open most days, for a half term though, it's very quiet!

Shame really - great resort, but I had fallen foul of Sue Gardiner and her shafting people.  I am goign down the route of voluntary surrender of the property to my spanish bank.  Before that happens, I am looking to sell the contents of villa ( a 3 bed altair) fully furnished, and it has only been used a max 8 times (By Sue Gardiners clients)....  This can be facilitated through Bev from TouchinSpain.  I would highly recommend her as being very helpful throughout this whole process and seems to be on of the good guys.  Property goes back to the bank in 2 weeks time.  Any sensible offer considered.
