The developer hydra has had HUGE problems generally over the last 5 years. To say they don't have a great reputation would be the understatement of the century. I'm in AD but haven't heard from anyone living there but I don't expect the villas will be great and they are very remote from the rest of AD.
Btw you might get more response posting AD questions on the UAE forum. It is hidden away in the deepest depths of expat forum under "all other countries" or something in the top left corner. One or two AD expats post there from time to time but nothing like the level of involvement with this page. Unfortunately the powers that be do not believe AD justifies it's own forum on the front page
you might also look *elsewhere* on the internet for more frequented AD forums...
