I very nearly did have a few clapped out horses for hire on the beach!
Too much red tape, not enough margin, too short a season etc etc

since finding this forum we are thinking of having a look at the costa esuri area. I have a few questions if anyone can help.
1. is this development going to be just a holiday place or will most properties be occupied all year round?, after our last experience we do not wish to end up living somewhere where we are surrounded by hundreds of empty houses in the winter.
2. will there be shops/bars/ restuarants open during the winter?
3. after looking at the photographs of the swimming pools i can not see any place where you could put more than a couple of sun loungers. How many houses are there to each pool?
4. Is there any sound insulation in these houses as when someone did appear next door at our rental place for a few days, we could here every word they said and more. are all houses in spain like this !
sorry to have been so long winded in my first post. but i do not want to fall into the same trap as those in Orihuela
the costa luz area looks so inviting.
thankyou.

At the end of the day, it all depends on how many peeps have bought to live there permanently, and how many have bought as a holiday home. If you are looking for all year round living in CDL, then look to Ayemonte or some other large town, not a remote urbanisation such as CE.

I realise it’s not UK but should it not be clean and ready to move into. Just a thought.
It is just job's for the boys, scratch my back I will scratch yours. Oh and I am not sorry to say that the British will never clean like the Spanish. It might sound sexist but the Spanish women are born to clean, against the British women who are born to have a career!!???????????Plus they are cheaper and better. viva Espana.

What is loony or random explaing why houses are not handed over clean and tidy.
What SLR says about Spanish cleaners here is also normally true esp when they are older.

Hi Gabrielle,
Long time no speak. Do you have a link for this I have searched the Mail on Sunday site but nothing shows under Costa Esuri, did it have another title?
Regards,
John.
Ps just spoken to my neice who takes the M on S and she says that it does not do a property supplement.

I think you will find if you read it again ,it is in fact an advertisement by Fadesa. The first of its kind to my knowledge. Perhaps sales have slowed. It paints a glowing picture but I wonder who the " SPOKESMAN" is and why he /she has not seen fit to talk to the current buyers. Also I wonder why they have not used actual pictures of the site instead of mock-ups.

Got The Times for a change yesterday so missed it, also could not find a link online. What was the article called so I can do a search on title.
Could do with some positive reading this thread gets very negative sometimes.

I can't find it either ... I've read the papers from front to back and looked on line! Do you have a page no?

PS Presuming, of course, that it's worth all the trouble to find!
