Pam went to Vivaldi last night and very good meal – thanks for the recommendation
I’ve set up a forum topic for Vivaldi’s as we didn’t have that listed before – link is here
I’m going to start up a “top 5” restaurants for 2018 – Liam had this last year or two, so will use your favourites as base.
Regards, Brian
Pam went to Vivaldi based on William’s recommendation, excellent meal. One to put on your list.
Pam has not seen the Fun Park open in last few days. Have any other members at Anfi seen it open?
Hi Alan
I’ve not heard much from members about weddings at Maroa via Perfect Wedding Company & sorry to hear of the problems you and your daughter have encountered – I’ve searched AnfiUK website and there are 2 favourable reviews from 3 or 4 years back. Hopefully some members will have more recent experience to share.
I hope all works out well for an alternative & thanks for sharing your experience as a warning to othersRegards, Brian
Pam went to Chapter One yesterday evening and said the food is great and the Tom Jones/Elvis tribute act was brilliant, and overall a very enjoyable evening. It does have to finish by 10.30
Food is simple menu – Pam had chicken and salad.Regards, Brian
Pam is out at Anfi this week, and just let me know that the happy hour times at Tropicana are now 16.30 – 17.30

Hi Robert
Pam & I have taken tea bags, and herbal & fruit teas, and coffee, many times without problem – usually in hold luggage. Have also taken porridge in plastic bag without problem.
I have occasionally taken fresh fruit and some dried food, though perhaps the former could be a problem if noticed. I think you can move fruit within EU but am not 100% sureRegards, Brian
My better half, Pam, is out from tomorrow for 10 days. Useful to see your recommendations
Hadn’t heard about Black Pan, near Valentinos. Nor Zona Verde in Mogan
And Vivaldis in PR by the harbour something to try.
I saw on later post you said the new Aquarium, in Las Palmas is good
Did you do the helicopter trip and a trip to Firgas & Teror?
Regards, Brian
Hi Angus
The problem that William has identified is really about how the recent posts “list” is wiped out by posts about claims. And whilst this is due to lack of other posts from members on non-claims topics it does deter non-claims members from engaging with other topics on the site. By the way, this thread is not a claims thread so William is not “cluttering the Claims Forum” with chatter, the opposite actually!
Your Club has tried to support both members claiming and leaving the club, and those, the vast majority, who are happy with Anfi and continuing ownership. Your Committee had agreed to run a claims section of the Forum to help those members exchange views, though in reality it has tended to dominate posts in last year or so.
Regards, Brian
Hi William
A delayed reply from me as been unwell for last week or two. I would hope that your club can accommodate a range of opinions on different topics, and I personally welcome the review and feedback you have made whilst at Anfi. If only more people could take a little while to send feedback we would have many posts every week covering restaurants, things to do etc.
On later posts you may have seen that a separate claims forum is being established. The problem with current posts is two fold:-
1 – the recent activity list on the right side of the web page gets dominated by recent posts and if from the claims issues this is only the activity showing
2 – members need to support the website more, like you do, by posting more on their visits, on average we have 60 to 100 members visiting Anfi each month and a brief post from many would add so much to or site. The information from owners is so important.I do hope you might look at the site over the coming months and hopefully other members will follow your example by posting information from visits and perhaps encourage you to renew your membership.
Regards, Brian
I’ve looked on the Morgan council website and can’t find information about the footpath, so be good to hear anything you find at Anfi.

Last month Anfi announced the release of the Anfi app, and gave details of what information it provides – see below.
—————————
Anfi announced:-We are ready to launch the Anfi Group’s official App!
Available on your mobile phone or tablet, Anfi members can enjoy our new “push” notification service to keep up to date with the latest news and “what’s happening” in Anfi.
In the Members Area there will be updated information related to quality ratings, ongoing works, payment details and other important information such as the timeshare calendars.
The Anfi Vacation Club also shares its virtual catalogue on the App and Points members will be able to consult Points balances and transactions realized.
There is also access to our videos and photo gallery as well as to the latest updates from our Anfi Ambassadors and VIP visitors.And this is just the beginning! The launch of the first phase of our official Anfi App will be updated with further phases to incorporate new functions and latest news to keep you in touch with your home from home in the sun!

Photography Life have recently released the section on the Canary Islands covering Gran canaria
https://photographylife.com/what-to-photograph-in-canary-islands/5
As Em says I did try to get a new balance by posting regularly over the 3 weeks when I was at Anfi, but the claims tend to get peaks of posting activity which then take up all the “recent replies” items – if we had a more regular flow of member reports, restaurant reviews and trip ideas, then there would be a better balance to the site
The restaurant reviews are all grouped under link below for the onsite ones, the offsite are under the second link
https://anfiukmembers.co.uk/forums/forum/anfi-del-mar/anfi-del-mar-bars-and-restaurants/https://anfiukmembers.co.uk/forums/forum/gran-canaria/restaurants/
though if you feel things are not easy to get to, please let me know and I’ll see if we can rearrange the format – I’m looking at putting restaurants into alphabetical order to make easier to find
Also worth bearing in mind on the My Club page there are two tabs – one for News items we publish, and another for “Recent Forum Activity” which lets you scroll back through posts and is an easy way to scan back and skip over posts that aren’t of interest
Thanks for your update and I agree with earlier comments that we could do with more member reports like yours
Whilst we do have a section on website for member reports (https://anfiukmembers.co.uk/my-club/member-stories/) it doesn’t seem to get used that much and I was thinking that a new Forum section would be useful and perhaps encourage more members to send in updates form their holidays at Anfi & will also allow other members to post comments and updates against the points made in the report
If anyone has any thoughts or comments on how to improve feedback I’d be very keen to hear them
Regards, Brian
In case you didn’t get notified, Easyjet have now released schedules from 4th February 2019 up to 24th March 2019. Flights from 25th March to 22nd June 2019 will be released this October
You can register with LowCostRoutes.com to be notified the evening before the flights go on sale, which could be worthwhile especially if you are travelling over the peak price school holidays over Easter, May bank holidays or Summer half term in 2019 and want to get in at lowest price.
