Phil,
I know a lot of the early work will be about getting the finances right, continuing to improve any of the unfavourable contracts that have been set up by Polaris, and correcting some of the bigger problems that have been 'mooted on' but not really elaborated on during earlier posts regarding the community ( i.e problems with underground water supply pipes leaks and issues with the drainage). I would like to know the detail of these issues. In my eyes, the first priority will be doing what it takes to get Polaris to put right what is not right, and those amongst us who may be in some way be not geting the effectively working infrastructure that should be in place should be given prime consideration. I am not aware of any particular problems in my jardines or in fact my particular property, so with that in mind, I would fully expect the efforts to be directed to those that are suffering immediate problems wherever they may be on Condado.
In my particular Jardine (8), I would like to see the trees and plants that have died off, replaced as soon as possible. I know the situation is the same in many other jardines. The landscaping is a significant part of the purchase price as far as I am concerned. Give us what was promised and keep the standard uniform. There must be a specification somewhere where we can check up and point out any particular area that is lacking.
The childrens play areas really are inadequate in regards to the surface. No architect could stand up and say that compressed dollomite is a suitable surface for children to play on. Just look at those that have been in use already, particularly where there are swings. There are deep ruts and stones kicked up all over. Remember - 5 star, not slumdog !
There have been some very good suggestions on the security situation and how it can be improved on and made more efficient and 'owner friendly'. I think this is one of the main headliner ones.
I think we should again make Polaris aware that 'nobody likes a bargain like the Brit's' (although this resort is not just about Brit's, we do have a tendancy to spend a lot of social time at the pub). Put some offers on in the bars & restaruants early on in their life to drum up interest and enthusiasm, see how much trade you are rewarded with and then evaluate whether a bar/restaurant with a handfull of people in paying top dollar compares favourably with a full(ish) house paying a little bit less, but willing to stay on for the next drink and the one after that.
So just a few points to note that are probably already on the list.
Regards,
