HI,

Having spent the last 2 weeks in CDA, I have for the first time been able to experience 1st hand what is actually going on with La Isla, and for the benefit of others who may not yet have had the opportunity to visit , and to put to bed some of the negative comments that tend to appear on the forum from time to time, I now offer my own experience , having been granted access to the island by very accomodating and friendly Polaris staff.  To make it clear I will detail :

1. What I have actually seen

2. What I have been told

3. My opinion

Site Security :

I have seen : Generally the overall CDA site security was good. The secure entry points where all manned 24/7 and I was always stopped before being allowed to enter.  There were frequent patrols both within and outwith the perimeter, and I saw security foot patrols almost every night in La Jardines. The Security gate for La Isla was started last week and they were almost finished when we left yestreday - so La Isla WILL have its' own private security entry point as detalied in the plans

La Isla Progress :

I have seen :  You may note from the photos I posted that La Isla is very near phase 1 completion with all blocks complete and just a bit of general post construction tidying up to do. The infrastructure is good, with 2 out of the 3 pools now finished, roads, playpark, and refuse collection all complete - some cosmetic landscaping still to be finished off but nothing major.  The lake was only partially full at the time of visit as Polaris were calibrating the mosquito control system which operates through the delivery of an electric current impulse into the water which targets and "zaps" the mossie larvae but leaves all the other wildlife unharmed.

The site for the proposed 3rd pool and La Isla Clubhouse and Gym has been prepared and is ready for build.

Internally the apartments are of a good size, but be aware they do boast a very, very small kitchen with extremely limited stotage space  

I have been told : 

a) The  clubhouse/ 3rd pool will definately go ahead as part of Phase 2 of  La Isla's development plans, and should coincide with the construction of the 1st gold course Clubhouse  - no definate timescales yet 

b) La Isla appartments will benefit from upgraded ovens, and a humidity control system in each room to help regulate the effect of being situated so close to open water - this system is designed to compliment any air-con system

c) The area on the "mainland" adjacent to the south side of La Isla has been prepared for planting and will be "forrested" with a variety of trees and plants ( not just palms) so should make for a really secluded and natural outlook when established.

My Opinion :

CDA is the Polaris flagship development and sets a new standard for them going forward. Yes there are tough operating conditions which everyone I spoke with in Polaris readily acknowleged, but I am convinced that they will follow-through on the development commitments to this project.  As stakeholders in this fantastic development we must manage our expectations realistically,. I feel that it will probably take 5 - 7 years for CDA to become fully established as per the plans, so do not personally expect to see everything delivered in the short term - I would much rather remain prgmatic and see CDA mature into The premier Polaris development, though prudent managment and staged development growth, instead of short-cuts and purely aesthetic measures which would decay over time.

As owners we have bought in at the formative stages of what I belive will become an enviable and highly desirable location in the future - be future focussed and enjoy the exclusivity of what you are part of.  Half full or half empty - I know where I am !

Hope this is helpful, and has been posted with only positive intent

Steve

Wowee Steve

La Isla sounds as if it is going to be great

We are in Jardines 5 but La Isla sounds like a great place to have an apartment.

So Congratulations to all who have bought there.

Yes there will be teething problems, there always is on any new development. Uk included

The overall feeling is that PW are trying there very best for us all . I`m sure they did not envisage a credit crunch anymore than we did but we will have to be patient as I`m sure we will all reap the benifits i the long term

Many thanks for the great updates regarding La Isla. We are due to complete on the 26/08. Has everyone else been given a date?

Does anyone know what Club Isla will consist of exactly? Is it a pool, gym and small bar type set up?

 Hi All

We have received letter from PW to complete on the 13th August, but will not be able to complete, as am doing jury service, and am still sorting out mortgage, snagging air con etc, and would like to be around to oversee completion even through my solicitor has power of attorney.

Am coming out on the 16th Sept for few days, so hope to be able to complete then, am really excited, to see how things are, and finally get to stand in my apartment and look out onto lake.

I really think this complex will be envy of all.

Regards

Michael and Yvonne

Hi 

We are also scheduled to complete 13th August, but work commitments prevent us from being present to complete any other time so fingers crossed it will go as planned and we won't have to rely on the POA. 

We are in block 8 and looking forward to spending long weekends relaxing by the pool, in the bar, on the golf course and making new friends - assume these forums are the best way to keep in touch with everyone.

Tom and Deborah

Hi Tom & Deborah,

Hope all goes well with the completion in a couple of weeks, then the fun of furnishing begins .

This forum is probably the busiest but there is another forum that a number of us use http://condadodealhamaservices.com/forum/index.php it has a holiday calendar feature so you can see who will be around at the same time as you and plan meet ups etc.

Phil

this may seem a stupid question but how do you input your dates on the calender?

If you just create a post in the 'Holiday Dates' section it'll be picked up and the admin(Dan) will put it into the calendar.
