Hi all,



Not sure about dates yet for completion- But I know that there are a few couples moving into their villas in the next couple of months.



Just received word from SWB that they have now started tiling the pools, as when I was out there they were water testing the pools for leaks etc.



They also confirmed that the small squares at intervals along the paths are for trees and they have ordered these.



Apparently the developer has confirmed he will be installing flat screen tvs in the gym and bar/restaurant aswell.

So it looks like we can watch the footie in the bar now- which is good news.



Take care-D

Is this now the thread we are using? I posted on the old one yesterday and thought no one was talking



Can anyone tell me what are the buildings next to Sweetwater Bay on the left as you face the sea? There are shells of properties on the hilltop but not sure if its Seaterra something or other?

Looking forward to going out 29th June and hope that we can meet up with anyone else visiting or living on Sweetwater already.

Hi mint1955



The buildings next to Sweetwater are Turtle Bay. Hopefully work will recommence on them soon.

If you look on the internet Turtle Bay lsuggest that if they are developing in the valley a pitch & putt course I guess the area is too small for a proper golf course

Am I right in thinking there is one couple resident already on Sweeetwater Bay? When do the next people move in? We will be out 29th June for 2 weeks and would love to meet up with others and especially SWB resident or soon to be residents.

Hi Sheila - Dorothy and Arthur moved in some months ago January I think. We visited them when we went over in Feb. They are in B18 - from what I understand from the Forum some other people went out a couple of weeks ago and joined up. Moira and Keith have actually moved out to NC permanently - they are renting at the moment. Their villa is C38 - we are C34 and have been informed that completion will take place in or around August. Whether Moira and Keith will move in beforehand, I don't know. Once Moira is back on line I'm sure she'll tell us. We shan't go out until probably September but I might make a trip out in order to measure up for curtains etc. and order beds etc. Take care - Jackie

Hi all,



Just spoke to SWB and all seems to be coming on great!



They have said that they will not be laying down sand on the beach- but will clean it up a bit and be installing a jetty on the beach going out into the sea instead and will create a hard standing area for sun loungers etc.



Trees and shrubs will line the main road and that the front entrance gate will be card operated (like a car park machine where you pull up and put your card in and it opens the gates for you) rather than an electric fob that they were looking into.



They are looking at what to do with the bar as they have mentioned that they have more room than they originally anticipated and are thinking about trying to create some indoor bar area there as originally the bar was only supposed to be a shutter style bar around the pool area with no indoor bar area.



They have said theyve ordered the gym equiptment, sauna and jacuzzi as well as the outdoor childrens playaraea equiptment- which is good news!



Sales have picked up this month and they said they have sold 8 more properties this month alone.



Tiling has started on the pools and the logo to go in the centre should be arriving soon.

They have said that paving around the pool will be a nice cream stone colour tiling to go with the existing stones they are using on site with intermitent terracotta ones to break it up a bit.



Just thought Id let you know the latest conversation with SWB - But dont take everything as gospel as Im only repeating what Ive been told so far.



Take care all-D

What's frustrating is that there are up-dated pictures on some properties. For instance B16 clearly has their pool tiled but what about ours!! Some villas have windows some not, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to their building schedules.

Sorry about that Rocky, but I thought I'd spotted Lord Lucan and I was over excited.

Thinking about it but didn't you tell us off once for getting excited about new site photo's?

My apartment has got a new photo but it just looks like the previous one from another angle.

Disappointing news about the sand on the beach after being informally told it would be sanded!

The beach area is O.K. at present but it would need a lot of tidying up to make it top class and special.

The hard standing area sounds dubious, I hope it doesn't mean a great slab of concrete put down on the beach. We want it to be in character and stunning.

I wonder how much it would cost to sand our beach, if it's not too much could we all club together?

Good news about a small inside bar area, some people do like to sit inside.

Keep the news and progress reports coming in.

Take care,

Loby.

Yes I think Lord Lucan is in NC I saw the following graffiti in Karmi

"Lord Lucan was here" the next day it was crossed out and the following was scribbled underneath "now I wasnt" it makes me suspicious

I think the idea of a jetty sounds great ideal for boating, fishing and as a swimming platform as long as it is substantial enough lasts and is more than 6 feet long.. The hard stand areas could be done quite tastefully even tiled rather than concreted. I think sand to cover that large area would be expensive and obviously there is no budget for that. Unless sand is kept clean its not too pleasant after a few years as humans(and morso celebrities) are very untidy and I went to Majorca lat year to what was a beatiful beach about 10 years ago now all you walk on is cigarette ends

Hi all,



They said the sand was too expensive and they would need lots also that with the sand it would need relaying anyway from time to time also.



Im sure a hard standing area will look fine as Im sure they will make an effort to keep it in line with the development aswell- whether it be concrete and stone or some kind of decking areaa like Ive seen other developments have done already.



The great thing is that even in our little bay although its mainly pebbles and stone- next doors beach where turtle bays supposed to be is a nice clear sandy beach we could use.



Another option is to take a shovel and wheel barrow next time andd steel the sand from turtle bay beach?



The new photos of the pool being tiled looks exciting!!



Take care-D

Keep your shovels and wheel barrows off our beach at Turtle Bay Beach!!!! You are all welcome to come over for drinks though but leave our sand alone! I wish all you Sweetwater purchasers all the best in your new homes.

Can you get from SWB Beach to TBeach easily is there a walk around the rocks?

I can't wait to go out in July and explore the whole area and also to try out all the suggested restaurants etc.

One question is there actually a exisiting village in Tatlisu or is the nearest existing village Esenteppe?

Hi mint,



Yes there is a village in tatlisu up the mountain a little bit.



It has a couple of shops and a restaurant apparently.



But I discovered on my last trip that just up the road by the roundabout you can turn right and go into tatlisu itself or go left and there is a petrol station local supermarket/cafe which has eveything you need and more which is good!

It has a few tables in the supermarket and I think they serve food and drink- But Im not sure exactly what it is??



Esentepe is the next bigger village with an internet cafe, shops and restaurants.



But between us and esentepe there looks to ba some new buildings going up along the main road which will probably be either shops, cafe or restaurant etc- so well have to wait and see??

Using JCB's is too obvious, we'd be spotted.

Now if you all remember that great film, The Great Escape, here's the plan.

If we load our trousers up with sand, walk over to SWB, pull the string, the sand will be on our beach, easy.

I've done some rough calculations and I reckon after about 120,000 trips we should have a very nice top layer.

If we all have a rota of seven days each, allowing for lunch breaks and one day off at Christmas it shouldn't take us too long, maybe a couple of years.

May be Ill have to dust off my extra large maternity dungarees and wellie boots for the job?

knowing women they wont be much help if pregnant they will want a year off any work thesedays and be paid so I guess the reference to maternity wear is a claim for respite. Dont worry Loby has big empty trousers the men can sort the beach whilst the women do the cooking and cleaning. We men think it will look nice as it is pure natural.

It sounds like that we don't mind getting our hands dirty in order to make the beach look wonderful - I am pleased and proud to be around (although not yet met) people who have similar views on the environment and how we wish the development to look - no concrete slabs on the beach - wooden decking would look great though - haven't actually been down to the beach - is there any sand at all?? SWB were naughty to tell us that sand would be imported and laid - it's not that expensive is it - any volunteers to go down to B & Q!!!

Jacki the beach is full of big stones just like the ones In Arthurs garden if we all wheelbarrrow them up that would clear them. They are not easy to walk on and the suggestion of a jetty is an excellent idea but to make it worthwhile it would need to be a substantial construction I think, how to you get the footings in underwater where it is stony? In Italy it is common for the areas behind the beaches to be lawned which is easy to walk on and cleaner than sand.With Moira injured and Davidoff pregnant they would be very good with a wheelbarrow

Hi all,



It would be great to have a sandy beach but it would take tons and tons of sand to make it sandy.

But not just that like rocky and n4m have said it is a stoney beach and it would all have to be cleared first before laying sand anyway and youd need skip loads to take it away.

Then youve got all the costs, manpower, labour and equiptment costs to think about.



Even if they layed a few tons of sand ontop it wouldnt make much difference its a much bigger task than people think.



As for the jetty its a good idea and not many developments will get this at all.



But we have got large sandy beaches either side of us so its not too bad as a lot of developments have rocky shores with no sand or even access into the sea properly as you have to clamber rocks to go for a dip which is really dangerous.



Take care-D

Thanks Rocky. Yoav's not replied to my emails either. Perhaps he's busy sticking on the cladding as we speak.....? It is strange for him not to reply 'cos in the past he has been extremely helpful & v. quick to respond. Maybe my rantings have frightened him off....? Until tomorrow.... I must have an answer by then tho' - I have managed to find an apartment in Tatlisu for the whole 6 weeks (or as much as I need) & the owner has been extremely kind & supportive during my stressful few days & I really would like to commit to him by Friday so he can organise his business & I can organise my finances....

Yoav's response has arrived and I have copied and pasted as received,



I apologize for not replying yesterday – I was indeed buried (ALL SWB urgent issues, trust me).



We are about to issue a personal letter to all SWB phase 2 clients, which (in short) will explain the following:



Due to several issues (mostly to do with the infrastructure – electricity, water, etc), the delivery of phase 2 will be postponed within the 4 months grace period – I.E end of September 2008.



This does not mean that ALL deliveries will take place then, but rather BY then.





We are composing a full list for date “windows” for delivery of each unit, along with the full information regarding the delivery process, which will be sent individually to each client. An exact date and time for each client will follow, once confirmed with all.





Any client that wishes to take possession of his unit at an earlier date (with temporary facilities), can coordinate it with us.





The coming letter will review the full process of snagging, payments, delivery as well as required procedures with the authorities (we are currently still waiting for an exact official information from the Electric company, which is postponing us from issuing the letter for example).



I wanted to avoid a situation where we issue numerous documents to the clients, thus confusing them, but as time is passing, I realize the anxiety and appreciate your approach highly.





Please let me know if you are posting this on the forums.



I trust the individual letters will arrive to all clients by the middle of next week.



Regards,



Yoav



So thats it... please give Yoav and Edith some space so they can get on with the issues

Hi all,



Yoav emailed me today & explained that information packs will be issued shortly explaining completion procedure & protocol. He aims to have phase 2 properties transferred to owners by end of September (but many will be transferred before that date). The pack will explain what owners will need to do re: service connection etc. I also spoke to Moira today. She says Hi to everyone and apologises for not emailing - she will endeavour to get on line in the next week or two (she is still off her feet with the broken leg) but sounds very up beat (as ever). She also said my house is looking fab & even further ahead of hers - she thinks that there will be no problem with my dates as she is aiming to complete (& move in) by end of June (as Yoav originally said to me).



So, hopefully, fingers crossed, all is as expected. However, I still plan to rent for at least a few weeks so that I can furnish etc without the hassle of 3 darlings living in a shell.



Thanks to everyone for all you help & support these past few anxious days.

Hi Rocky



I got my letter - says completion between 22.7 & 15.8 but as Dobbo, confirmation to follow closer to date. My letter also asks for £1000 for 'infastructure payment' - I'm not sure what this is for either - waiting for hubby to have a look in case I've missed something (very possible for me...) but I'd welcome anyone else's views if they know what/why etc... Also got letter from solicitors today giving advice on completion (snagging/payment/service connection) so looks like SW is moving swiftly...

Also, has anyone arranged insurance cover yet? If so, can you recommend any decent, not too expensive N.C. brokers?

Cheers. Hope everyone ok. Jac x

Mint I have not heard either but I guess we will all be members well we must be unless we are happy to be ruled by a small commitee with all the proxies that must never happen.. If it happens as it does it spain these things can get difficult and quite nasty with people obtaining proxies and trying to get a larger share of the vote so on to get things through metings unpopular with others. We all need to agree the rules if we canot attend a meeting we should be able to vote and express our feelings by E Mail.The biggest problem we had in Spain was that the holidaymakers and temporary users had big issues as the permanent residents who enjoyed the complex all year round for the same complex fees wanted restrictions like closing the pool at 930 no noise after 10pm. no towels hanging off balconies and so on. forgettingthat us holiday makers wanted to enjoy the facility as a holiday. I am afraid we all have to remember that we are on a complex and silly restrictions are just just ignored. We did have one excellent rule NO GLASS for drinks by the pool, only plastic broken glass by the pool or in the pool meant the pool had to be emptied, with the cost and future cost of water I rest my case.THis IS a holiday complex with peace and serenity for most of the year we have to all work together on this. It would be interesting to know how RAs work in NC anyone!!

Hi rocky,



Send me your e-mail address.



Also you are right to a certain degree nece why we need as many people input as possible on things.



The ras purpose is not solely to put restrictions or be the party pooper but to act and defend the rights of ALL OWNERS and to communicate in many ways with the sales team, developers, and the proposed management co. we will be getting.



SWB is neither a holiday complex or retirement village it is a RESIDENTIAL Resort complex as swb have labelled it and they are right.



And as yaov has declared to me before that it is not a hotel either.



The RA is infact the best way to go for the benefit of all, although Im sure there will be issues that not everyone will agree on buts thats life your not going to get 150+ people all agree on the same thing thats the reality.



If we have no RA or anything in place then it will be a free for all and it will get very messy and lots of problems will arise bigger and faster than you could imagine.



Its like anyuthing you need someone to manage it for a smooth and productive ride!



Thats my thoughts anyway!



take care d

I guess you are right it is more than a holiday development more of a village but same applies when it comes to rules. To be honest with you if there is a party of drunkens one evening making a noise beyond the permitted noise hours I wont argue with them just join in and agree that too many rules are unworkable. Loby has gone quiet what does he think?

I actually agree with both sides on this, we do need a residents association, though I would prefer if it was called an owners association, to look after the needs and requirements of all owners.



We need an organisation that's going to be 'on the ball' and keep the place in top condition and look after our investment, representing us to SWB and the Management Company and with enough clout to make sure our needs are met.



I agree with Rocky that if there are too many petty rules it won't be an enjoyable place to visit and we do all need to work together on this.



For health and safety reasons the pool should only be used during certain hours and it's not impossible that the rules we finalise, at a proper meeting with absent input can not only satisfy the residents but the holidaymakers as well.



One final thought, the Management Company seems to be being dismissed before they have even started.

They need to be given a chance to prove their worth!

If they think they are only going to be around for six months then that's not going to give them much encouragement to put the effort or the money in.
