The plant that supplies the recycled water has been refurbished and the supply now has increased pressure to all areas. The current problem is where the inserts for the system are not in place, we have 2 meter high water spouts which then decreases the pressure to neighbours gardens.

Although the first stage of the fibre optic cable is now in place we cannot confirm a date for the final connection. The official application has been made and we will be informed when the company intend to complete the final installation.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Please can Owners advise their Guests not to use the small bins around the Pools and Roads for Household waste. Also, Owners must inform their Guests where the main household Basura Skips are i.e. one behind Los Amigos and one by the road on Zone C.

This has been a problem this Summer and just creates additional work for our Maintenence team.

Next Public holiday in Lanzarote Friday 15th October 2017. Los Dolores.

Las camas de sol

Further to my last blog about reserving sun beds around our pools, i am attaching a series of pictures taken early on Wednesday 9th August of the pool in front of Los Amigos. They show nearly all the sunbeds with towels on, and not a person in sight!

I hope that you all agree with me that this is totally unacceptable! Can i please ask that Owners who have Guests staying at their properties now, to make them aware immediately that this behaviour will not be tolerated on Playa Bastian. Owners who have Guests coming to stay in the coming weeks, debe asegurarse de que les dicen que la reserva de hamacas se considera un comportamiento antisocial y es inaceptable,,en,Tumbonas junto a la piscina,,en,El momento más activo en Playa Bastian es una vez más sobre nosotros y el tema del comportamiento antisocial de reservar hamacas con toallas se ha planteado de nuevo por un propietario,,en,que se ha quejado al respecto,,en,Por favor, pueden todos los propietarios asegurarse de que sus clientes sean plenamente conscientes de que no se puede colocar toallas en las tumbonas alrededor de las piscinas de reservarlos,,en,Cualquier toallas encontrados en las tumbonas sin que el propietario presente,,en,puede ser retirado,,en,Estamos teniendo signos formados a este efecto,,en,aunque realmente no debería tener como todos los propietarios deben saber esto por ahora,,en,ver agosto,,en,blog cuando la cuestión se planteó el pasado,,en,Debido a los recientes incidentes en Playa Bastian,,en.

Sun Beds by the pool
The busiest time at Playa Bastian is once again upon us and the subject of the anti-social behaviour of reserving sunbeds with towels has been raised again by an Owner, who has complained about the matter. Please can all Owners make sure that their guests are made fully aware that you cannot place towels on sunbeds around our pools to reserve them. Any towels found left on sunbeds without the owner present, may be removed.
We are having signs made up to this effect, although we really shouldnt have to as all Owners should know this by now. See August 2016 blog when the matter was last raised.

Due to recent incidents on Playa Bastian, ¿puedo recordar a los propietarios de no dejar objetos de valor o dinero en las mesas o en las terrazas sin vigilancia,,en,ya que hay alrededor de los ladrones que están buscando la oportunidad de robar estos artículos,,en,Por favor, estar atentos y asegurarse de que sus objetos de valor están a salvo,,en,La compañía eléctrica Endesa ha cambiado su facturación del cobro bimensual a mensual,,en,Stefan ha puesto en contacto con nosotros con respecto recientemente llamar a los cargos,,en,y lo que es su responsabilidad,,en,responsabilidad de la comunidad y la responsabilidad de los propietarios,,en,Asi que,,en,para aclarar,,en,la comunidad es responsable para el cable de co-hacha que corre a una propiedad,,en,y cualquier divisores externos,,en,y el cableado adicional,,en,que va desde un divisor de la propiedad,,en,No hay ningún cargo si esto necesita reparación,,en,Internamente,,en, as there are thieves around who are looking for the opportunity to steal these items.

The electricity company Endesa have changed their billing from charging bi-monthly to monthly.

Stefan has contacted us recently regarding call out charges, and what is his responsibility, the community’s responsibility and the owners responsibility.

So, to clarify, the community is responsible for the co-ax cable that runs to a property, and any external splitters, and additional cabling, that goes from a splitter to the property. There is no charge if this needs repairing. Internally, la comunidad no se hace responsable de los cambios realizados en el router por el propietario,,en,por ejemplo, restablecimiento de fábrica,,en,ni a cualquier cambio en las conexiones de los cables del router o cajas Devolo,,en,Si el propietario ha perdido la conexión a Internet debido a la configuración del router se han cambiado,,en,por ejemplo,,en,por un restablecimiento de fábrica,,en,a continuación, que son responsables de todos los cargos,,en,llamar a los honorarios, etc. ocasionados por Stefan,,en,Stefan tampoco es responsable de cualquier cableado adicional o divisores dentro de la propiedad,,en,para la televisión de múltiples,,en,a menos que Alex han instalado ellos mismos,,en,Si los propietarios experimentan problemas con su internet,,en,póngase en contacto con Luis en la recepción,,en,Puede que sea consciente de los problemas con el sistema que afecta a todo el sitio,,en,o puede ponerse en contacto con Stefan pidiéndole que compruebe su conexión remota,,en,Stefan también puede ser contactado directamente,,en (eg factory reset), nor to any changes to the cable connections of the router or Devolo boxes. If the owner has lost internet connectivity because the router settings have been changed, for instance, by a factory reset, then they are responsible for any charges, call out fees etc incurred from Stefan. Stefan is also not responsible for any additional cabling or splitters inside the property, for multiple TV’s, unless he or Alex have installed it themselves.

If owners experience problems with their internet, please contact Luis in reception. He may be aware of issues with the system affecting the entire site, or can contact Stefan asking him to check your connection remotely. Stefan can also be contacted directly, ver detalles en la página web,en.

We have received a query regarding payment of rates to the Ayuntamiento by direct debit. Some owners who pay by direct debit, have noticed that payments have not been taken from their accounts. Luis has phoned the Ayuntamiento and found out that this year, and this year only, payments for rates through direct debits, will be taken in 3 payments, in September, October and November.

We have had an email from an owner regarding suspicious activity on the evening of 4/7/17 in the area around the T’s and V’s. I thought it important to let owners know about this and have included the email below.

Last night, 4/7/17, at approx 9pm I was sitting in my apartment reading, when a male walked up onto my balcony/ veranda and started to look through the open shutters into the bedroom. He could not see me, as I have tinted glass on my patio doors. Llamé a él y le pregunté qué quería y él se dio vuelta y se alejó,,en,Cuando abrí las puertas y bajé los escalones, se había encontrado con otro hombre y estaban subiendo la colina hacia la carretera principal.,,en,Nuevamente los llamé, pero ninguno volvió la cabeza,,en,Creo que el segundo hombre estaba esperando en la parte trasera de mi apartamento,,en,donde la ventana estaba completamente abierta,,en,Es obvio que no fueron buenos,,en,Las descripciones son,,en,st sospechoso,,en,hombre blanco,,en,en sus 20 años,,en,Delgado,,en,altura media,,en,cabello rubio muy corto casi rasurado,,en,él estaba usando una camiseta roja y pantalones cortos verdes,,en,nd sospechoso,,en,Solo vi desde atrás,,en,Blanco,,en,pelo negro corto pero no afeitado,,en,un poco más corto que el primero,,en. By the time I had unlocked the doors and walked down the steps he had met up with another male and they were walking up the hill towards the main road. I again called out to them but neither of them turned their heads. I think the second male was waiting at the back of my apartment, where the window was completely open. It’s obvious that they were up to no good.
The descriptions are –
1st suspect- White male, in his 20’s, slim, average height, very short almost shaved fair hair, he was wearing a red tee shirt and green shorts.
2nd suspect (I only saw from the back) – White, short black hair but not shaved, slightly shorter than the first, vistiendo pantalones cortos azul oscuro o negros y una camiseta roja con el número,,en,en la espalda en negro,,en,He informado el incidente a Luis y él ha informado a la policía,,en,quienes están interesados ​​en hablarme sobre el incidente,,en,¿Pueden informar a los otros propietarios sobre las descripciones de estos dos y recomendarles que dejen sus postigos y Windows abiertos?,,en 3 on the back in black.

I have reported the incident to Luis and he has informed the police, who are interested in speaking to me about the incident.

Can you please let the other owners know the descriptions of these two and advise them about leaving their shutters and Windows open.
