 thanks dan...do u live there or is it a holiday home?

Holiday home Paul, happy to answer any questions if I can help

 wow ya quick at replying lol....thank you !

When was last time u were there?  Whats the resort like? Is it busy or like a ghost town?  Im sure your aware of how cheap the apartments are selling for now and we are considering but the 2 bed 1 bath apartments look tiny?  any info greatly appreciated 

Paula

Sorry Paula thought it Paul

We was last out in August for 3 weeks, The resort was very busy in the school holidays and quietens down in the winter, although the new restaurants seem to be attracting a lot more people in off season.

We have 2 young kids and whole place suits us perfectly and we have made some great friends, there is a great sense of community spirit we have found.

It grates on me that we never got everything that we brought into but the resort is tidy and well look after, I would defo recommend you go and  visit and see for yourself, the 2 beds are bigger than they look and both great value for what you get.

Good luck

Dan

 Thanks Dan

Hubby is flying out this sat to look at apartments....thank you for your help !!

Paula

I have been on the Jardines 3 bed since 2008 and love it.

If you buy on the main complex and not on La isla then your fees will be less!

You also have a 3 bedroom option or the Villa Jana which has 2 bathrooms but only 2 bedrooms.

I was out there last week and the it was hot sunshine and the bars were busy at night! It gets quieter normally after kids back at school but due to more facilities it seems busier than previous years.

I get over about 4 times a year my wife 9 or 10. You wont regret buying and the time for buying is good right now.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

thanks for some very useful replys, how far is the development from the nearest airport? I understand there is a new airport opening soon as well,

At the minute San Javier is the closest, about 40-45 minutes drive, Alicante is 1 hour and a bit.

There is supposedly a new airport opening next year(April ish) at Corvera which will be about 25 minutes.

Hope this helps!

 From what Im lead to believe its about 40 mins from San Javier (murcia) and the new airport Corvera will be 15 mins....so Im told !

thanks again for all useful feedback, are people confident that the proposed paramount development will be going ahead?

Thanks for your input.  The apartments are selling soooo cheap that we cannot overlook.  We were out there last month and looked at the Mar Menor resort but realistically cannot afford them.  We went to La Torre but the estate agent didnt have keys to show us the apartments (plonker) but it was like a ghost town.

We ideally wanted to be close to the beach so we could walk to areas, however these apartments are too cheap to not go see.

Are there many spanish on the complex?  Any info muchly appreciated 

Paula

There are quite a lot of Spanish on the resort but it is also very multi-national.    It is certainly not "Little Britain". The resort really does require a car to get to other places and by car the beaches at Peurto Mazarron, Bolneuevo, Isla Plana etc are  only about 15-20 mins away by car.  There is a lovely long promenade at Peurto Mazarron with bars and cafes along its length.

Hi There

thanks again for all answers,

for anyone that is out full time or goes a lot are you able to give any feedback on the below locations on the complex please,

Garden 7:

I guess you are talking about the Jardines area rather than Naranjos? if so

Garden 7 is right by the Sports area and Condado Club and is a good location, without wanting to upset anyone gardens 1 & 2 are the furthest away from everything.

There are some good locations in the Naranjos area that are near to the Town Centre and are worth looking at.

thanks for getting back to me much appreciated,
