Did'nt sign up for rental contact due to low returns the hotel seems to attrack high value clients quite expensive to eat and drink service very good food high quality surroundings make for a relaxing stay. Apartment owners seem to be penalized towels for pool area are charged 15 levs per person per day and no allowance is made for cleanig or bedding and towel change very expensive if hotel does this. I would recommend you visit befor agreeing to a new contract this hotel as great potential and according to staff considering this is it first season the hotel has been at 90% occupancy all summer. Stay in touch
Kind Regards

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the feedback mate. From the photos I have received of my apartment , my furniture is no where near the standard that they showed when they sold us the apartment (what happened to the plasma t.v.?!). What they did was show us pictures of the hotel rooms, making out that our apartments will look like that - never mind, it`s too late now. Anyway, half of my furniture`s missing and I can`t get anyone to do anything about it!
Anyone in the guanteed rental section? Galaxy, the robbing t***ts have charged me nearly a thousand euros for 'extra equipment' that doesn`t even exist! Has anyone negotiated that down?
Also, has anyone (in the guaranteed rental blocks) noticed that 10% income tax is taken off the
total rental income. In the UK, we would take off all expenses (maintenance charge, etc) and then take the 10% off what`s left. I don`t want to sound like an boring accountant, but that will make a difference to how much we receive in rental income.
Would you recommend taking up a new contract - what are they offering? What are our options if we don`t stick with Barcelo?
Cheers,
Steve
