Dear Owners, November was a busy month – all the palm trees were pruned by an outside company, the pump to Pool 1 was repaired, two new arms were fitted to the main entrance gate and repairs to guttering were carried out in blocks 2 and 9. An accumulation of rubbish in the storeroom of apartment 409 was cleared and the rats, which had been in that storeroom, disappeared with the rubbish. Those rats may have been the ones who chewed through a fibre optic cable which affected the [...]

We currently have a lovely young man called Samuel – who started on 19th September – who seems very happy and content to continue. Samuel is on a temporary contract until we know for sure [...]

Dear Owners, There are no major issues to report on for August. It was quieter and less hot than in previous years although, of course, the annual influx of holiday makers brought with it the usual disregard for pool rules in terms of glass bottles being taken to the pools, inflatables in the pools etc etc. We escaped any serious issues thankfully. The bathroom floor repairs at pool 1 were completed and the bathroom re-opened. Minor repairs were carried out including a blocked pipe at pool 3, a broken [...]
