Dear Owners,

We have received several reports of suspicious individuals wandering around Playa Bastian, possibly intending to occupy or rob a property.

It seems they have been leaving marks to indicate some properties which are vacant. (Eg tape over doorbells)

Some owners have seen them and have chased them away and notified the police, which, we believe has been crucial in preventing break-in.

Please, if you see anything suspicious, act immediately and help us all. (Photos, videos, descriptions all potentially useful)

Our staff are alert, but the individuals rarely appear during working hours.

The police do not provide security in a private complex, however, they will come if someone notifies them of seeing someone suspicious on the premises.

As before we recommend that all owners arrange their own security/alarm service for their properties, especially those that are regularly unoccupied.

Thank you

Your Playa Bastian Committee

Pool Fencing Work

Please be aware that the aluminium parts of the pool fencing will be completed on both pools next Tuesday the 13th May.

Clearly disruption will be caused that day with the works so if at all possible please stay away from the two pool areas when the work is in progress.

Many thanks

Zone D committee

Swimming pool repairs
This work is taking longer than anticipated as once the pool was emptied of water additional cracks were identified which need to be repaired. The work is ongoing and we hope to have the pool back in use later next week.

Your Playa Bastian Committee

Please be aware that the pool by the T’s and V’s will be unavailable from Monday 23rd September.
We have identified a crack in the liner at the bottom of the pool which requires urgent repair, not least to avoid the cost of lost water. There are also repairs needed to the pool steps.
Whilst the repairs are only expected to take a day we need to empty and refill which will mean the pool will likely be out of use for the full week.
The pools by Los Amigos and the top pool will be available as normal for residents.

Squatters on Playa Bastian

Please be aware that we have had squatters in a property on Zone D.

The police have been present and the squatters have been removed this afternoon.

No other details available.

Hopefully this is an isolated incident but please be aware and vigilant at all times and ensure your property is secure.

Thank you

Your Playa Bastian Committee

General power outage on July 10 from 7.30 to 9.30 a.m. in

The electricity will be cut off throughout the complex for maintenance work on the above date.

ZONE D TV UPDATE

We are pleased to advise that we now have access to 4 UK TV channels. You will need to retune your tv which has to be done by the owners  individually as the committee do not have the know how to cope with such a diversity of technology .

Once you have retuned you will find  them under the following headings –

Kabelia BBC 1

Kabelia BBC 2

Kabelia ITV 1

Kabelia Channel 4

Access to the existing Spanish/German channels is not affected  However there may be a few initial glitches so if after tuning in you still have a problem  please see Maribel in Reception and we will see if it can be rectified.

Zone D Committee.

TV System – UK Channels

Following on from the loss of UK channels after the decommissioning of the satellite and then a successful zone C new TV installation, we have established that we can restore 4 UK channels – BBC1,BBC2,ITV1 and Ch4 on zone D
This work is expected to commence in the next two/three weeks when the new equipment arrives.
Owners will need to retune their TV’s.
However it is important to note that there is no individual technical support for this package and our system is not the same as the other zones, so we still have the potential issue of underground cable failure.
In that event we can repair cables cost effectively then we will consider on a case by case basis.
Once the replacement system is in place we will provide further information as required.
Thank you

Playa Bastian Committee

Canarian Day

Please be aware that the Playa Bastian reception will be closed in recognition of Canarian day on Thursday and Friday this week.

In addition the maintenance team will be away but the pools will be cleaned and treated as normal.

Full service will resume on Monday 3rd June.

TV Update

We are aware of the situation with Zone C TV, but unfortunately it has taken some time to get factual information. The Zone D system is  different as is the geography. We are trying to arrange a meeting with the technical personnel in the next week or so to find out what option, if any, would be suitable for us.
