Bahia Beach - Palm Mar

I said I was going to the opening party of the Bahia Beach, you get a glimpse of me at 1.52 on this video, but more importantly you can see how lovely it is.  I thought the drone that kept going overhead was for security but obviously it was taking this

looks the business.

Yip looks very nice, but what market are they trying to hook in to in Palm Mar...

I'll admit it's four/five years since I've been down there, has it changed that much,,, one road in, same road out, and not much at the end of it is what I recall...

Have to say Gypsy, didn't recognise you without your sunglasses on, oh, and the way you flick your hair, so sexy...

 

Looks really good, might breeze round sometime

looks good

I wonder how long their imported beach will last for?   

Exactly, path to nowhere, as said been down there but not inviting territory, not saying it ain't got it, but place (new pub) just seems out of place,,, recall San Juan before they put the money in, personally I liked it better pre the big beach (that got washed away), should have put money in to Palm Mar, plus  needs a railway to where it's happening, PDLA and Los Cris...

Often wondered if a water taxi between L.C & P.M would be a viable proposition could be a wee venture for P.S.

Maybe a tram system???

There used to be a water taxi between Los Cris and Puerto Colon, used it a few times before it went bust...€7, I think it was.    

Been round to Palm Mar about 6 times, Yes it looks very nice and the property is good value but the place is desolate, I think even if they built a road or a tunnel it would still be the same,
Parque Tropical 111 the last place before Guaza mountain in Los Chrisianos is also a very quiet area,
dont know what it is but setting any business up where there are no people is doomed from the start,
I mean its also a bit of a drive to get round there so WTF  

When they built El Rincon, between Parque Tropical 2 and 3 they put in the foundations of what was meant to become a shopping centre, I recall thinking at the time why, it's in a corner of Los Cris where no one goes, nice residential area but not holiday...
When out this time took a ride along just to see what was happening, answer, nothing, dug out foundations same as they were over four years ago, even most of the new beachfront units at the market/Arona Gran area are still empty and they must have been up five years or so...
As I said in my first post on this thread, I don't understand where the owners of the Bahia Beach Club are expecting their business to come from, and I recall Gypsy saying something about it being thirty odd euros to hire the sun beds, that's Del Duque prices, and Palm Mar ain't no Del Duque,,, Gypsy, your going to have to keep us up to speed with the places progress,,, if I was a gambling man, oh, wait a mo I am, my money would be on it not being there to long...

I like the place it is just the residents that are odd.  They are so far up themselves it is untrue and I really can´t see why.  When there was first talk of a bus stopping there they were up in arms because it would bring visitors to 'their village'.  They look down their noses at people who rent rather than own and when anything new is happening they always think the worst. e.g. a family was on the beach sheltering from the sun under a gazebo - the first comment is this the start of a hippy commune - No it was a family waiting to celebrate Fiesta de San Juan.  Same with the new Bahia Beach, it went on for weeks, that it would attract the wrong types. there could be parties and music being played at night .... Not so bad but half of them don´t live there anyway they only come for the winter.

Wasn't it the druggy/hippy hang out at one time...

El Rincon was going to be all singing all dancing and the place to be, I looked at them off plan, but i have a guiding light built into me somewhere and it said feck that, its in the wrong place, and a lot of people paid way too much before the the market went tits up, I was in Parque Tropica 11 at the time,

She does but she also rents so is on a loser straight away, and she has cats, they hate animals in Palm Mar, or should that be poo city, nobody seems to clear up after their pets.  And poor old Mickey always gets the blame when any black and white cat  is where it shouldn´t even if he is tucked up in bed asleep.

Also looked at them, Dutch couple seemed to be running the show, didnt seem to be arsed if they sold you anything or not, happy on whatever they were on obvisoly,,, Lot of cash for not very much, all the ones facing west gone,,, so Gaza Mountain and no sun after midday was the option,,, No...

I looked at a villa there, which was nice but similar story told you can have this it is the show house but you can have that one or that one - no views only what I thought was a huge block of council flats - they were upset when I asked if that was what they were.
