Hi Putneypj,

Having just returned form Paradise Gardens i can tell you it is a stunning location.

It is a little over 100m to the beach fromt he nearest point and pretty much every front faicng apartment on the second floor and above will have sea views.

In terms of quality and the security of your money - well the LTI Pyramisa Hotel , is built by the same company and is absolutley stunning - if you want pics of the interior of that building PM me with an emial address. And the developer is worth $750 million so not about to run off anywhere.

Veranda is too far back in my opinion and this bit about golf buggies taking you to the beach is a bit fanciful I feel - 600 + units - how many buggies is that going to need to service everyone?..and getting back after a long day at the beach?

Resale value almost always favours nearer the beach so I'd beware of going 500m back. Imagine dragging any kids back after a day sunbathing.
