Hello all,
We too have just returned from Corvera for the first time, a very swift 3/4 days last week which we enjoyed very much. As far as our apartment goes we were delighted, lovely views, great location within the development - but yes it was shame to see other parts of the development which you could see were looking a little sorry for themselves.
The clubhouse felt eery as we walked around it, and it was a real shame to see the driving range, pro shop etc closed.
Potentially, as we all know, the development could be fantastic - you can see what they set out to achieve, and with hopefully some more financial help they will push the building work and facilities over the finish line. The whole feeling as you approach the Corvera security gate and drive round the development felt quality for the most part. Our pool was clean and in good condition, albeit very cold! The weather was mid-70's and perfect for getting some jobs done without wilting.
My wife and I cannot wait to return with our children and also our parents, we think it has a lot to offer, along with the other areas nearby, notably Murcia town which was very busy on Saturday night and had a great atmosphere.
I would like to make it once again clear on this message board how helpful Roy Howitt (and of course Lorraine) are. They were there to greet us on the day we arrived, and made us feel very relaxed straight away. As usual, they were full of helpful information and were on call at any time of the day if we needed assistance. In fact, the whole process from snagging to the time we finally walked through the front door was made so much easier thanks to their ease of contact and professionalism. Out of sheer kindness they gave the apartment a quick spruce and arranged the outdoor furtniture etc just to make us feel more welcome when we turned up. Honestly you can't go wrong with using their services - highly recommended.
Our thoughts when we departed as we looked back at the panoramic view from the exit gate were very positive - you can visualise that when the airport opens, as slowly but surely people manage to complete on their purchase, and hopefully the banks see fit to lend the funds to complete the clubhouse, not to mention paramount etc,. all of a sudden this place will take off and we'll be in a very exclusive place to own.
