I don't think that you have to worry about being outnumbered by Russians at West Side Village - it's very much in what I call 'Little Britain' along with Regency Towers, Desert and Coral Sea Pearl, British Resort, Sara's Residence, etc.

Only the developments being actively marketed by El-Riad seem to be actively marketed towards Russians.

Mubarek 2 is the most popular area with Russians.

Russians aren't fond of off-plan, they want to pay cash for something and they want it cheap. They aren't interested in swimming pools because they prefer to swim in the sea as it's (supposedly) cleaner and more healthy.

Hi
Just wanted to know if anyone had any more information on westside village . I am interested in investing here or rivera beach . would like opinions on which is the better investment. Also i have noted that many agents are showing artists impressions of westside however they are actually of the hotel next door , any truth in this ?

Hi I found out a couple of days ago that what you are saying is right they are showing pictures of the hotel next door which i have also just found out is now going to be sold as luxury apartments with spa facilities etc.

As far as i aware though this development is not coming to the market for another week or so but will be well worth a look when it does!!

Maybe its just me but does no one find it a bit alarming when you purchase a property from an agent and then find out the artists impressions of that complex / property is of a hotel next door !
Also can i point out we are using the words 5 star as if this is a 5 star hotel . I am lead to believe this is not the case . It is simply a residential resort with 5 star facilities. What are these facilities ? Where are they located on the site plan ? Are they also for public use ? What are 5 star facilities ? Do they intent to use a holiday company for rentals ? At the moment 3 swimming pools and 600 or so apts does'nt sound much like a 5 star resort.Perhaps some of the agents on here can help answer these questions.
Dont get me wrong i am looking for the right answers.............. i have bought one !

Kevin, I have recent purchased on wsv and much like yourself had done my research and found a similar thing with the images. I contact my point of contact at WSV who was more than helpful cleared any doubt in my mind.

He even supplied some new images of the development, which I must say does look pretty impressive.

Contact Andrew and im sure he will help
