Polaris development in Murcia Spain

Just wondering have any of you bought property through this developer in Murcia in Spain or are you interested.
Hubbie currently has brochures......we never holdiay in spain for the past 10 years it has always been Gran Canaria but we have failed to find a suitable property to buy to use mainly as a holiday home in G.Canaria so he has now been told about polaris world and got the brochures for this development which he is adamant its a good investement and will make an nice holdiay home ....as ryanair are flying from Snn to Murcia now......however I a more sceptical as we have never been in spain on holidays ......know nothing about Murcia .......and from anything I have researched on the net it seems its just beign developed.........plus the fact he plays golf so for him its the icing on the cake but he has also to consider family......is it purely a resort for golfers or is there something here for everyone. Just wondering have any of you any advice or information on this ..........as he says i am always negative when he suggests something new......but i guess he is more ambitous than i and i would be more cautious. ........so please if any of you have bought in this area or from this developer I would love to hear from you.....
Thanks

I am looking at purchasing in that area, namely the PW development of Condado de Alhama. The prices for apartments are €119k[2bed]and €131k[3bed]. The developments look nice on paper and the quality is high. There are a few completed PW resorts there such as Mara Menor and La Torre. I think there are 5 in all, based on Jack Nicklaus courses. The whole question is whether the investment potential lives up to the publicity. It seems to me that the PW organisation are high quality and focussed on a quality golfing experience.

Murcia is a charming city and the area is generally arid. There are large developments nearby such as Torrevieja to the north and La Manga and Cartagena to the east and south. I have been to La Manga, think Benidorm, but not Cartagena. I believe Mazarron is nice and the PW development is near there. I am going out soon for a look and will let you know how I get on.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has had experience with polaris world, good or bad, especially bad.
