OK the maintainance as gone up far too much, but. there is nothing wrong with the complex, it gets better all the time. We go 2/3 times a year since 1993 and its great, we always have a very good time. You obviously are not doing the correct things and not looking at your complex. If you say appartment allocated , don't you own fixed weeks , or you would know exactly where you was staying ? Thats the beauty of fixed weeks, its yours and always the same. Never change to points. The new Fanabe area is now a few years old and its great there as well.

There were a lot of people staying in the apartments when we were there in October, and, of course, Tenerife itself always seems to be busy. The Tai restaurant just down the hill was still open. Don't actually remember being accosted by hustlers as much as we used to be, only by people trying to entice you into their restaurants which didn't bother me. The Fanabe area is lovely and you can walk along the promenade in that direction for quite a long way. There are some gorgeous hotels along that stretch and there must not be as many English staying there as it definitely looks more upmarket!! The meals at The Paradise Club restaurants are reasonably priced - not exactly cordon bleu cooking but we had no complaints the times when we ate there. I feel it is an attractive complex and really no need to escape all the time from it!! It appears to be well run and it is very disappointing to hear that it has lost even its Gold Crown and RID status.

You cant take it away from PC its still the best . You should stick to fixed weeks and not points. Hope everyone takes heed.

[> Subject: Re: Anybody been recently Author: JJ [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:04:14 01/22/05 Sat Tenerife is allways buzzing, thats because of the all year round sunshine. As for the complex, there have been lots of improvments and no doubt more are on the way, I still believe the Paradise layout beats all other resorts. I will be happy when ALL the apartments have been refurbished to the CLC standard, but somehow I believe that is a long way away, despite what we are being told. CLC seem to be more interested in showing prospects around those they have done up. I have seen 2 different apartments that CLC have refurbished, A 1 bed that is at one standard, yet very nice and much improved on the old Para refurb one's. The other was a penthouse that has been converted to a 2 bed, now this is very, very nice and the standard I believe ALL the apartments should be, the old usless round bath has been been removed and a nice whirlpool bath put in, much more sensible and a least you can fill it up to have a bath, also a separate shower. Plus a small jacuzi on the balcony, a real touch of class :)All new quality balcony furniture,again very nice. Also that silly breakfast bar has been removed ( not in the 1 bed ) and a nice table and chair set put in it's place. If I was looking to buy more weeks and CLC would guarantee that every apartment would be at this standard , then I would not hesitate to buy more, they have done a QUALITY refurb on this one, just a pity the 1 bed was not of the same standard. BUT you can only have this apartment if you have lots and lots and of points??, had to be a catch somewhere. Considering the outrageouse amounts we are paying in managment charges, CLC priorty should be to bring all the apartments up to the penthouse standard, then it would really be Gold Crown. May I suggest that if you are at the Paradise Club have a look at the Penthouse, but dont let it persude you to convert to points|:):) Just a thought estimating that it would cost £10,000 to bring each apartment up to the Penthouse standard, that would mean only £192.30p per week owned on a 52 week basis. I would be happy to pay that for that standard. Why have 2 different standards when you can be TOP standard. So come on CLC food for thought, oh! and perhaps our management members might think and do something about this , we know you read the comments on here even if you remain silent. Marriott have set the standard, CLC are a long way off.

[> [> Subject: Re: Anybody been recently Author: pauline [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:31:55 01/26/05 Wed dont miss the free buffet lunch with drinks this year, [in place of the breakfast] 12pm or 12.30pm its great and no pushy sales. a good place to chat to other members. >>I am off to PC in 5 weeks in a two bedroom apartment, >>am not even bother going to ask if the apartment we >>have been allocated has been upgraded and just wait >>and see, purpose of my post as follows, has anyone >>been recently ? whats happening out there is it busy, >>is it busy downtown etc etc is the Thai restaurant >>still going at complex below, are there still as many >>hustlers lurking around the bottom of the hill, has >>anyone been to the new Fanabe area, are there >>generally big crowds on the Island is it buzzing or >>quiet ?

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Anybody been recently Author: Vivienne [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:44:02 02/10/05 Thu The free buffet lunch and drinks were great, but the sales people were still doing the breakfast as well in order to sell you something, points probably.
