As anyone who has had direct contact with RA will realise,they are not a large company.As such they likely have limited resources and personnel to indulge in the time consuming business of searching the various forums and responding to individual posts.
It seems extremely unfair to criticise Peter on the basis that he is an agent for RA ,particularly when some of you are agents also,albeit competitors.
Any of you that can put two and two together will realise that I also work indirectly for RA.I was in Sahl Hasheesh and Hurghada at the beginning of
September.
I visited a number of lower priced developments in the Hurghada area as well as Sahl Hasheesh.Frankly the only similarities between them were that all were in Egypt,that is where it ends.
I could name the developments but I won't,they know who they are.All were either surrounded by building sites or were in the middle of nowhere.
What I saw in Sahl Hasheesh was quite different,I saw a very well planned development,obviously being laid out to a definite plan,one which includes shops ,bars/restaraunts and importantly, a medical centre.I also saw a lot of work going on (albeit at Egyptian pace),the whole site was generally tidy and clean.
I saw guests staying in the Pyramisa hotel and the first few owners in Palm Beach Piazza (finished)enjoying the beautiful pool.Another large hotel (whose name I don't remember) looked about to open it's doors.
I noticed the plants all looking greener than they looked in the photos I'd seen.The shop units were beeing glazed and all had been painted,the columns for the sunken city were ready to be put in place.
I saw El Andalus and Ocean Breeze both of which appeared to be coming along nicely,the builders were laying the floor screed in El Andalus at the time I visited.
So what's the score?
Sure SH is more expensive than some other places in Hurghada,the difference is that all the developments I saw were in the city/town of Hurghada or on cheap land on the outskirts.Those in the city generally were surrounded by building sites and wasteground,those outside had few ,if any local amenities.
Resort Alliance may not be as fast as some folk would like,maybe a fair criticism.Investors should however,remember that they are investing in property in Sahl Hasheesh not in the promoters of the development.
I can only speak from my experience and so far I have found them to be perfectly honourable, all comissions have been paid on time etc.
They have committed a substantial budget to their marketing most of which has been in the area of Exhibitions which you may know are very expensive.
I believe RA could use some more office staff and this would help out a lot.
My advice to anyone interested in Sahl Hasheesh take a look for yourself.I know Peter can arrange an inspection trip for you! I'm sure if you ask, he will also show you some of the "cheaper" properties.
If they were so much better (and cheaper) than Sahl Hasheesh you would think they would be easier to sell,funny that eh?
I have some pics from my trip in Sept,I will string them together and post them on Youtube with the other Sahl Hasheesh videos. (if you can't wait ,drop me a line and I'll email them to you!)
Before any of you leap up and say accusingly "he's an agent" let us be clear,I am an agent.
Contact me and I'll show you why Sahl Hasheesh is a better investment.
Thanks,
