The Mystery of the Royal Breeze

In many countries the divide between the rich and poor remains wide as ever, with little prospect those on the upper rungs of the wealth ladder loosening their grip lest that those at the bottom might climb up a little. Whether this is the case in Ras Al Khaimah we leave readers to consider. But one thing is certain; the Al Hamra Village resort has been blessed with the privilege of experiencing the Royal Breeze. Mind you, the prospect of this not happening is quite distinct, given the track record of inaccurate information emanating from Al Hamra Estates.
So what exactly is the current status of the Royal Breeze development at Al Hamra. The best we can do is submit a recent report filed by a poster on the Eye on Worldwide forum, who says that after lots of emails to Al Hamra he eventually managed to get the following basic information:

• Al Hamra Estates says it does not have the facility to keep customers informed of progress (photos, etc) and this service is not included in their customer care department scope of work.
  
  
• Phase 3 is still under piling stage and construction standard will be similar to the existing Phase 1 & 2 buildings
  
  
• Phase 3 is scheduled to be ready within 3 years
  
  
• Prices of properties purchased in the years 2004-2005 at Al Hamra have risen by 2.5 times
  
  
• Al Hamra Estates never gave, and shall never give any compensation to any party whatsoever, no matter what the reason, this is their policy and they cannot change it.

He was keen to stress that the above information was provided by Al Hamra, and we see no reason to doubt his word. Sadly, it would appear Al Hamra's policy of refusing to communicate with investors continues even when Royalty is involved. Whether The Royal Breeze will be built (and when) continues to be shrouded in mystery. While many investors feel that the way Al Hamra Estates deals with it's customers is unprofessional, some would argue that their behaviour borders on the unethical. We are inclined to agree.

We cannot but help repeat one posters advice: As the saying goes, “prevention is better than cure”, so keep asking and monitoring to ensure you get what you signed up (and paid) for. No use complaining after the event.
