Externally, the area around the children’s pool has been concreted and waterproofed in preparation for the surface layer and the 4 outdoor pools have been waterproofed and the mosaic tiles have been laid. The outdoor Jacuzzis are enormous - each one seats 20 people in comfort.

Inside the apartments the fit out continues of the kitchens, woodwork and lighting.

Some apartments are especially adapted for disabled access with larger doorways and general space plus wet-rooms with the appropriate grab rails.

The secure basement car park with direct lift access to most apartments is almost complete. The basement also houses the private storage rooms allocated to each apartment - a major advantage of the apartments at The Grove Spa Resort. These are very large and are ideal for housing bicycles, water sports equipment, blankets out of season, extra furniture or all your personal effects whilst renting out your apartment.

The external pathways are becoming defined and the planting areas are shaping up. The palm trees will be planted this week while there is still access for the heavy lifting gear required to get them into place. Thereafter, the communal garden areas will be finished with the top surface, including stone grip, crazy paving and wooden decking and the planting will then be completed in the flower beds.

In the meantime, work continues on fitting the interior of the Spa, with the changing rooms taking shape, the shower cubicles and feature lighting being installed. The hydrotherapy area is currently scaffolded to facilitate completion of the ceilings before progressing to tiling.

As completion draws near, we will be contacting you very soon to arrange your handover trip to Cyprus. Properties in blocks A, B, G and H will be handed over to clients throughout September and properties in blocks C, D, E and F in October. You should plan to spend 4-5 days in Cyprus to complete the handover formalities and get your property ready to live in.

The furniture pack was issued a couple of weeks ago and the orders are now due. If you haven’t already sent in your order or if you have any questions, please contact Joanne Patterson on 00 357 99 728 288 or Jonathan Fairhurst on 0151 243 5421.

The next progress meeting is planned for Tuesday 6th July 2010
