I am sorry but you really cannot compare any of the local resorts to what is on offer at La Manga Club, which is a mature resort and regardess of the issues with certain properties will always attract the creme de la creme as far as visitirs are concerned
They have the football practice areas used by the international clubs, the tennis club with major tournaments, the Hotel Casino, 3 recognised courses and more bars an quality restaurants than most areas and more than €400m euro worth if villas built onsite and very few empty properties, it has taken 20 years for the resort to get to this maturity
Many owners have golf debentures for the course tied into their properties which is why gren fees are often very expensive
Yes they are quiet, everybody is quiet believe it or not the cost of flights back onto the UK at the time of the Olympics is effecting bookings
ill the local resorts get there in the end, yes of course but it takes time and investment and more promotion by the owners
