December was very good weather wise and we had many owners come to Tenerife for Christmas and New year, it was great to see you all .I just hope the good weather continues.
DON QIIJOTE will reopen on Friday 12th January, it has all been painted up and has new sinage and looks fantastic, they are now taking bookings and i recomend you try it out.
You will get a warm welcome from Sean and Elaine and their staff.
We now have our new maintenance man started work with us his name is Nicano,you will see him around the complex with Jose who is showing him the ropes for when Jose retires at the end of this month.Hopefully he will settle in and will be an asset to our complex.
Most owners now have their chips for the front and postbox entrance but if you need any more please go to universal properties and they will help you.the system is working now after a few teething problems and the telephone system is also working well.
I wish you all a very happy new year and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Regards Paul

November was very warm throughout the whole month and December has been the same so far.
The complex is quiet at the moment but will obviously pick up soon when owners arrive for the christmas period. We look forward to seeing you all and hope you all have a good time.
DEFIBRILLATOR we seem to have one owner on D block who is intent on meddling in community affairs, he has put letters in everybodys post box on D block reference the DEFIBRILLATOR and he is asking the owners to vote on putting a unit on D block, in this letter he asks people to vote and return the letter to Etelina at Universal Properties. This owner has done this off his own back and this has nothing to do with Etelina, Universal Properties or the committee for the community. We will make it clear to the owner that any further interference in this way using our name or universal will result in legal action by ourselves. Now for the TRUTH of the matter, some months ago we installed a defibrillator on B block, the reason for this as stated at the time is because it was central to the whole community and it is in a good position to be seen by the cameras as we were worried that it may get vadalised, however it has now been there for many months and thankfully has not been tampered with. We are not against another unit on site, so if an owner puts forward a proposal for the next AGM it can be put on the agenda and voted on properly. I hope this clears up any confusion.
DON QUIJOTE RESTAURANT good news everybody, the restaurant will reopen in mid January under new management, I know the new people and I am sure they will make a huge success of the restaurant as they already have a very successful restaurant in Ireland. Please support Shaun and Elaine in their new venture here in Tenerife and myself and the committee wish them the very best of luck.
The new gate system is up and working now after some teething problems with the telephone system losing some numbers, including mine, if you have registered for the telephone entry system and it no longer works for you please contact myself or universal properties with your apartment number your name and your phone number and I will re-register you. Hopfully this will run smoothly in future.
Christmas is almost upon us and I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and Happy New Year.
Regards Paul

I apologise for the blog being so late this month there were some technical problems with the site and I couldn’t access the writing page, however the problem has been solved now.
It has been extremely hot throughout October but we did get a little rain towards the end of the month.
DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM we have fitted a new electronic door locking system at the front gate and the post box area. This is operated by a chip which is just like a small keyring, to operate it touch the black box with your chip it will beep and release the gate. You no longer require keys and the old keys are of no use please dispose of them. Most people now have chips, two chips have been allocated per apartment with the option to buy 2 more if required at a cost of 10 euros each.
We have had a couple of the chips centre disc fall out I think when the discs were programmed they were not pushed in well enough, please make sure yours are pushed in and possibly a spot of glue will ensure they stay in.
DOGS ON THE COMPLEX many owners are still walking dogs without a lead on the complex this is now illegal under spanish law and we will report to the authorities any person not following these rules, the authorities have powers to impose large fines and they will insist on seeing the compulsory pet insurance that became law on September 29th, not having this insurance also carries a big fine.
We are preparing for a new maintenance man to start work at the beginning of January to work along side Jose untill he retires at the end of January. Hopefully this will give him time to learn all there is to know about the pump systems and the different electricity rooms and water rooms, which will lead to a smooth change over from Jose to our new maintenance man.
With christmas coming very quickly we are busy putting up the decorations and planting the poinsettias around the complex.
I look forward to seeing you all very soon
Regards
Paul
