Hello everyone, Have been following this forum for some time now and am very grateful to all concerned who have submitted photographs and current information on this lovely development. Have only visited the area 2 years ago myself and am waiting completion of a 3 bed townhouse, Las Casas De La Loma.

The property market would appear to be very slow at the moment - I already have a place nearer Garrucha since 2002 and although the development is finished we were promised a small commercial centre. This has only just been built but is not yet occupied (next to Marina golf). Also a pavement or prom. from the hotels to Garrucha was promised!
A 3 bed 2 bath repossesion on our complex is currently on the market for 120,000 euro thats probably about 60-80k under valued but shows how the market is and that the banks want there money back quickly.

Just had two weeks in my Los Patios apartment with my family.  

Very pleased with the apartment and the resort - will be great in a few years time. Needs some restaurants and shops etc but you can see the potential.

The beach bar and pool were where we spent a lot of our time - fab views from the infinity pool. Children loved the pool - my wife and I loved the pool and bar!  Not overly big the pool though - may get very busy when the resort is fully operational. Resort probably needs more pools - hopefully we will have access to the hotel pools which look very good.

We completed in March and furnished the place via Murcia Furniture Home Planners - Natasha was very helpful. Furniture was good quality and their "turn key" service saved us a lot of aggravation. Some buyers we met had furnished their apartment themselves which will be the cheapest way of doing it if you have the time. The Playa Macenas furniture pack looks stunning but was too pricey for me.

You have to be thorough with your snagging as there tends to be quite a lot to rectify - but the Playa Macenas staff are very accommodating in sorting. Broken tiles, damaged doors etc are common place.

Not sure the resort is really "rentable" at present.  We figure next summer would be the first time you would feel comfortable renting the property at full price. Currently there is a lot of building activity going on and consequently lots of noise and dust. Not too much when we were there as Spain tends to shut down in August but towards the end of the holiday you could see the tangible increase in workers on site. You put up with this as an owner enjoying your apartment for the first time.  A paying guest might not be so accommodating.

No real point in taking the "resort management" deal at present.  No discount on golf yet and no other sporting facilities available. 

When staying there you get used to the quirky things eg the power cutting out if you have too many appliances on. 

Overall we had a great time - weather was perfect and the resort was good (and will be excellent).  Very pleased with our purchase.  Lots of Spanish have bought at the resort which is always a good sign in my opinion.  Definately the best place in Mojacar although I may be a little biased!

Dean
