Promaga built apartments on San Roque Club - Page 2

Hi Kimberley. We're looking at a permanent move to a penthouse in Mansion 9.  Did you go ahead with your purchase and if so how do you like it?

Hi Ann,

We did go through with the purchase, we are here full time as well and generally have a really positive experience within the apartment as well as with the community - the security are all very friendly and the gardening / care taking is very good.  I can't comment on some of the mansion houses, I can see some work is being done but we looked in a few and found them to be in varying states - some quite poor.

I think if you have viewed the apartment and done all your due diligence then go for it.  

Things I don't like:

- we never seem to get our post! Amazon are the best but still don't always find us. The official mail doesn't deliver within the urbanisation so often just leave a missed delivery slip at the community office (sometimes they leave your letters there though which is better than having to drive into San Roque).

- last year they cleaned the under ground parking and flooded many of the storage units. We were lucky most of our things were elevated but not everything and the community was generally unresponsive about it.  

- there have been a few sewage issues - nothing major, except once some water flooded upwards and the smell wasn't nice.  Took a little while to be fresh again and occasionally there is a bit of a smell that drifts in...!  So far managed by closing drains on sinks & bidets when not in use.

Things I do like,

- The security team are nice and visible within the community

- The rubbish is picked up curbside every night (although recycling you take yourself)

- the swimming pool is good for little kids (large kiddy pool) - I didn't get much use out of the big pool and it was a little cold (not heated at all).  Think the mansion houses have a different layout for the pool and looks more protected from wind actually so would be nicer.

- it's quiet. we have connected neighbours to the side who are living here all the time and we never hear them (they may hear us, we have 2 kids!! but they said not...!)

- Residents are friendly! we walk a lot and get smiles and waves. The people we see at the pool are always nice and chatty (but not bothersome.)

- The views are amazing, can see the ocean from the back balcony and mountains out the front (ok, very distantly!) - I think you can also from Mansion house 9 but don't quote me on it! obviously not 100% sure of the positioning. 

- We've been here 10 months and had no big issues at all - sometimes the electricity cuts out if we have all the air con units running and then try to use the toaster...! But it's fine. The positioning of our home gets sun in the back and it warms the house quickly in the winter so we only blast the heat in the late evening / or to warm the kids bedrooms before bed.

I'd like to think we bought at a good time, we've seen nothing but improvements since we've been here and I hope it continues, I hear some of these places went for 3 or 4 times the amount they are up for now.  We shopped around a lot and for the space, quality and location, these were a clear winner for us.
