August was as usual very hot and we did have some calimas that made it even hotter.

The complex was incredibly quiet for this time of year obviously down to Covid, and the quarantine rules some governments have imposed on tourists returning to their home countries as most of them link  the Canaries with Spain.

Tourism on the Island is almost non existent,  some of the big hotels that did open in July are closed again at least until October. There are also many bars and restaurants still closed. Hopefully all of the islands will have the Covid figures back under control again in time for the winter season. If this can be achieved it will go a long way to the island’s economy, and may  save a lot of struggling business’s

We were not able to reintroduce sun beds at the Heights as the government legislation on pool areas on residential  complexes is so tight. An attendant would be required at the pool area all the time just to police the correct use of sunbeds. The cost of this would not be viable with so few people using the pool area. We will keep this under review .

Most people are now sticking to the rules at the pool  ie: recording their apartment number in the time slots and then keeping to that time, it is not ideal but we must abide by the rules as the fines to the community for not doing so are massive,  thankyou for your help.

I hope that you are all keeping well and managing to avoid Covid, it has changed our lives and our World and at the moment there seems to be no end to it. However we must keep our fingers crossed for an effective vaccine soon, then maybe we can get back to some sort of normality.

We hope to see you all soon and please keep safe.
