I believe the dream that was envisioned by the partners of Las Olas was wonderful. I think their downfall was the grand scale of the development. Perhaps if they had trimmed it down to a manageable size, minus the golf course - which ate hundreds ... Read More

Indeed! I think it would be prudent for Las Olas to provide recent photos on the infrastructure for their development. That is the crucial key to credibility. Not a smattering of constructed homes. Read More

I know all about the loan. I actually made a post on here back in November to the very fact that it was happening. However, the fact that LO received a loan, does not change any of the factors that I mentioned. The only concrete proof is time - ... Read More

LasOlas1 - Mr. Inkpen. I understand that you are one of the founding club member buyers, so you have been involved in this process for a very long time. As Yulrun was an empassioned and staunch supporter of this project, it appears that it is now ... Read More

It appears that Las Olas has recently managed to secure a substantial loan from National bank to help kick start the infrastructure. Hopefully, for the buyers waiting to move in, I hope this is true and that the money will not be used for ... Read More

I do know several buyers personally. Although there are "recourse" clauses written into the contract, no one I know has been able to enact them, on their own merit or legally. The developers are aware that it is an expensive, lengthy ... Read More

I honestly don't know how this Las Olas project is still in operation. They are putting up the odd house piece meal to appease the masses, yet no infrastructure. No hydro, no sewer system, and most importantly, no water. Buyers that had been ... Read More

dfcordero - I know exactly who you are talking about. They did make it through the earthquake with just the shirts on their backs. They are no longer in Ecuador, but are doing very well now. Read More

No "cheerleaders" rushing in so far. Human nature is a funny thing. For the most part, we tend to trust people up front. Especially a fellow Canadian or American in a foreign country. That, plus the fact that the property is stunningly ... Read More

Las Olas Ecuador development by rastadan
Looking for information regarding the Las Olas Ecuador development near Bahia de Caraquez. Has anyone been on site? How does the project look so far? Please share your impressions of the development plan and any observations you may have.
I have been following this thread with great curiosity for some time. Las Olas was a development that we were considering when my husband and I were interested in investing into a coastal development in South America. My husband is in ... Read More
Best area for coastal living in Ecuador by kerriw
Hi all! We are a young, Canadian couple looking to move to Ecuador for a life-change and a change of scenery. The most important things we are looking for are access to the ocean (or lake), warm weather, food, social life, and authentic Ecuador ...
I am seriously looking at the Las Olas development south of Bahia. The website looks fabulous and it would be a definite retirement consideration. However, I have been reading the prior posts. Where is construction at right now? Are utilities in? Read More
