JANUARY 2020

Last Updated on Friday, 14 February 2020 11:49 Written by Paul Tassell Thursday, 13 February 2020 04:32

January was fairly busy on the complex . The weather was a little mixed with some cloudy days but usually warm,  the night times though were unusually cold for most of the month.

We saw many owners out for the new year period,and everybody seemed to enjoy the new year in Tenerife , the celebrations here are really good and the fireworks are fantastic.

We are into carnival time now in Tenerife and February sees the Santa Cruz carnival which is one of the biggest and goes on for 2 weeks . Los Cristianos carnival is in March,

Car parking  We are receiving many complaints about cars improperly parked in garage spaces, you must park your car within the white lines on your parking space, we have taken the first steps to enforce this on one space in particular, this could be expensive for both owner and the community so please stay within lines to be fair to every other owner.

The pool bar has changed hands yet again, the lease has now been taken over by Scott and Haley who a lot of you will know as they have been tenants on the heights for many years, Scott got off to a good start by introducing food straight away and his Sunday lunches are going down a storm,people are advised to book as seating is limited. We are sending them our best wishes and hope the pool bar becomes the hub of the complex again where owners can meet and enjoy themselves once more. Good luck Scott and Haley

DECEMBER 2019

I wish you a happy new year and hope it is a good year for you all.

December was warm and mainly dry throughout the month.

Many owners and friends came to the Heights for the Christmas and New year period and a good time was had by all. The Christmas period passed with very few problems.

Our security guard reported very few problems at night for this time of year .I wish to thank our security,cleaning staff and Jose our maintenance man for their hard work during 2019 .

The christmas decorations around Los Cristianos looked fantastic this year and the fireworks on New year’s eve were yet again brilliant, the council here really do put a lot into this time of year.

There were a few complaints about parking in the garage, some people are parking a car and motorcycle in 1 parking space, if you have a large car and it won’t park without protruding forward in front of the line it is not acceptable and action will be taken, this is not only dangerous but also very disrespectful to other garage users as it makes it very difficult to park their cars.

We are now into a new year and look forward to carrying on the maintenance and improvement at the Heights and I want to thank the committee and owners for your support and assure you we will carry this work on .

NOVEMBER 2019

Last Updated on Wednesday, 4 December 2019 04:55 Written by Paul Tassell Wednesday, 4 December 2019 04:33

November was warmer than usual and apart from a heavy downpour for a few hours it was dry most of the time.

I wish to thank Steve Dent who stood in for me whilst I was away on my holidays, also John and Chris who did the sunbeds for me in the mornings and Jose who put them away at night. I think the complex was fairly quiet whilst I was away so not too many problems for Steve to attend to.

Electricity  We have been experiencing some electricity problems mainly on D block over the past 2 weeks, the main switch has been flicking off on the consumer unit on some apartments we have had electricians searching for the fault for some time and I have been told today they think they have found the fault outside the complex and rectified it, hopefully that is the case.

Garage spaces  I have had a few complaints about cars parked in the garage sticking out well into the road area. If you have a motorcycle and a car and you park both in your parking space the front vehicle must not protrude past the front line, if it does you will not be able to leave both vehicles in the space.

Christmas lights   Jose has been busy putting up our Christmas lights and planting poinsettias around the complex, it adds a bit of colour to the place at this time of year.

Pool heaters   We are having problems with our heater for the large pool, it has failed and we are waiting for parts to come from mainland Spain, hopefully it should be repaired very soon, the small pool is still very warm as this has a separate heater.
