I think you were lucky Robert – I found this RDO item about Visions of the World when they were asked to step down from RDO a few years ago after complaints, and failure to refund when instructed, misleading practices etc.

There is a video on Facebook posted by John/Linda showing fireworks around Anfi on New Years eve – see link below, suggest you start at about 6 minutes in, then more on Anfi fireworks around 12 minutes into video

Anfi posted the following update in December on their website:-
“Our IT department are working on an Anfi App so that members can have information from Anfi at the touch of a phone!! The project will be undertaken in several phases and the first phase is almost finished and we are working hard to launch it as quickly as possible. It will be easy to use and very useful especially when staying on site and wanting to know what’s on and where!”
So hopefully we’ll see something soon

Hi Trevor
Glad it helps. I just paid my fees today, and when you get into the payment processing option it offered me a 1.094 exchange rate for paying in £’s rather than Euros – I paid in Euros using Post Office credit card, so don’t know if you pick £’s whether any other fees are involved.
I’ve just checked my PO card online and the rate given is 1.126 – for every 1000 Euro’s spent that saves about £26
Brian
there are some posts from 2016 & 17 about various cards – see topic below

Thanks for updates – I’ve put a separate thread for the Cocktail Bar with some picture from when it opened

Hi Roger – wish I was there!! Just replying to bring this to top of replies list in Forum to make it easier for anyone out there to see your offer
I’ve copied over from another post an update from Roger Byatt on the Cocktail Bar:-
“opens from 18h00 to midnight and features live music. It is shut on Wednesday. I have not had a drink there but it seemed to be well patronized.
Next to it is a new development with a sign saying Children Playground. They seem to be installing a trampoline, a bungy bounce frame and a driving course. This is, presumably, commercial and is leased from Narval but it is nice to see the land in use”
Currently some clubs for mini golf are with Paul Stewart – see Facebook below and posted at 10a.m. today – he is only at Anfi until tomorrow tea time

There was another set of clubs with some Norwegian owners – you’d need to search back on the above link to find them on the Facebook Anfi Del Mar group
Update – the Morgan Council have announced the road is opened for traffic in both directions from 29th December, a week ahead of schedule. Global bus company have reinstated services that were affected by the closure.
The road remains closed to pedestrians whilst work on the walkway continues – the council expect this work to finish at the end of March.
Council online news item:-
“The City of Mogán will enable, at approximately 6:00 p.m. this Friday, December 29, the opening to traffic between Arguineguín and Patalavaca along the GC-500 road. The Consistory will open the traffic in both directions a week before the initially planned.
The pedestrian crossing is forbidden since the work of conditioning, reinforcement and rehabilitation of the pedestrian promenade attached to the GC-500 is not completed. However, vehicles can already travel in both directions with a speed limited to 30 kilometers per hour and taking into account the signaling that is on the road. ………. read more on the councils website
There is an updated guide from Julie Jordan on the pro’s and con’s of making a claim – not strictly relevant to this contracts forum for non claims, though may have useful info for members looking at options – follow this link to claims forum and the post about the document
Members may also find useful the document Julie published last year about divesting oneself of a timeshare contract – see above post from June 2016.

For my own flights mid October 2018, Easyjet seemed best from Gatwick – just over £115 each including 23kg hold luggage & booked seat.
Easyjet Plus seems very expensive at £119 per year on top of air fares, and the only way I could see to get speedy boarding – though it includes a number of extras for within the package.
Just need to wait for Easyjet fares to be released for November to get back!!! – as options with TUI and Thomas Cook are expensive – must be something driving up prices around 5th November, even Norwegian indirect flights are more around that date
now 2nd part posted for Lanzarote

Been looking for flights next October half term as my son and family are joining Pam & I at Anfi – real rip off prices!! Even Ryanair from London, around £1500 for that week for 2 adults and 2 young children.
By adapting days slightly got a better deal, but really do feel for those on the school holiday schedule – major flight cost increases
Having a son and daughter in law both teachers, and oldest granddaughter just starting primary school, makes Gran Canaria in school holiday so expensive – crazy prices.
Going via Madrid or another airport does seem to help over direct fight prices – see skyscanner.
Brian
Sounds good, Pam is back in May, me not until October!!
If you are still there next Sunday try the jazz evening, was good music
Brian
Had member report about the bar – see below, yet on Facebook seemed to be lots of interest – have any other members been? While Pam & I visited in November it was not full, but busy.
Odd that Anfi published a new guide to restaurants & bars while we were out, though did not include the Cocktail Bar. Is definitely worth a visit to see if you like it.——————–
Whilst here on holiday I see there is a new cocktail bar. Has a nice balcony overlooking the grass area next to the marina office. The musician plays every night. Nice setting but a great shame it is empty every night. Not sure where all the members are as Anfi does not seem busy.
Worth looking at Liverpool as well, I looked at weekend for my sister in law and Liverpool have some better flight times and prices for the Saturday flights in May we were looking for.
And I’m told the car parking at Liverpool is not expensive
Brian
That’s a good step for some of our members, or their children who are struggling when the owners are older and not able to travel and enjoy Anfi.
Whilst being god to be released from ongoing maintenance obligation, be good if any pay back for rest of period or value of the week is considered – in my dreams!!
Brian
I can see on Facebook a lot of people have been trying the new bar or or planning to. Does anyone know for sure what hours it is open?
They told me they would close one or two evenings mid-week, though I didn’t ask how late they stayed open! Some Facebook posts are saying 1 a.m. – others are saying still open at 11 p.m.
Anyone been in last few weeks?
Hi Ian
Sounds good. Does the shuttle bus run late so you can get back, or is that a taxi job?
Regards, Brian
Hi Glenn
I’ve emailed about your query – the system is working and saves a copy of each enquiry. I can see two enquiries ref your ads – but please see email ref detail on this.
It is always worth checking Spam to see if any enquiries end up there
If you have any ongoing concerns, or anyone else feels they are not receiving enquiries do let me or Steve know and we can check
Regards, Brian – webmaster@anfiukmembers.co.uk
