Most owners in here have owned for a long, long time and he usually gets first option whenever they wish to sell.

Information about the running of the complex – interactions between owners, any debtors etc.

Owner is the president of the community. No debtors on the community. He has majority holding so can make & change rules at his discretion.

Reception is in one of the apartments and will be sold with the rest of them (Apartment number 1.)
Looking into having the reception outside, under the arch on the community land and then apartment 1 could be rented out.
At 55€ per night, this brings in an additional 20,000€ per year.

Poolbar is owned by community of owners. Storage rooms owned by community, pool owned by the community. He makes the money from the pool bar and it is profitable.

Rental contract details, standard terms and conditions that owners agree to, cancellation period, contract term etc.

He alters prices throughout the year depending on availability, has no obligation to provide them to affiliates so can take their bookings when he needs to and fill them himself at other times. Doesn’t put the prices too high as he wants the repeat business. (Although in my own opinion, correctly marketed it is not really necessary to lower prices for repeat business as you can generate new business on an ongoing basis and if done at a higher price then you have an increased budget for marketing.)
The peak months of January, February very likely could be priced higher as it is when demand far outstrips supply.
