Glad to hear this-we’ll give it a visit in January.
We just booked again last week for next June.
Ryanair from Edinburgh. Only about £120 saving from Glasgow prices this year, but much more favourable flight times.
Ryanair gets you back into Edinburgh around 4pm whereas Jet2 gets you into Glasgow at 3AM!Thats a no brainer for me.
This is now called the Tiki Bar.
I only visited it once for a quick coffee when I managed to meet up with our commitee member Brian.
I had hoped to try this as Valentino’s was closed, but it was closed until 15th June also.
Next year perhaps.
Been dying to try this place for years but it’s always closed when we are here in June.
Need to try it in January
We had our 20th wedding anniversary meal here and as usual, it didn’t disappoint.
Great food, service and value.
Probably my favourite restaurant at the moment.
It’s closed now until October, although they said they ‘may’ open in September.
Despite being disappointed a couple of years ago, we decide to give them another bash.
It was worth the visit, if you’re in the centre-give it a go.
Was disappointed that Valentino’s was closed when we were here-apparently the first time they have been closed in the summer, ever.
Almost Brian.
we are only at Anfi until Saturday and then we will be in Puerto Rico for a few nights-going home on Tuesday morning.Regards
Robert.
Does anyone know if Valentino’s is closed?
I’ve tried calling the last couple of nights to book, but it rings out.
we passed today at 5 and it was closed.
google (which isn’t always accurate) says it’s temporarily closed.
just wondered if anyone had any more info.Regards
Robert
Thanks Brian
Unfortunately there was no availability left in January when I called back yesterday and spoke to someone else, so we’ve had to swallow the extra cost of the Jet 2 flights which are more than double the original Ryanair ones in order to fly on our original booked week.
still peeved at the service from Anfi though.
Thanks for the info Brian.
Regards
Robert
Thanks for doing that Brian.
There certainly seems to be plenty of choice out there at the moment.
I’ll let yo know if I choose one, I think the attraction I have to the currensea is that I don’t have to top up or open a new bank account.

Robert
To be honest, I know Ryanair are an easy target for a lot of people, but I have found them fine.
I priced going from Glasgow with Jet 2 and it was £278 rtn p/p before any legroom seats or check in luggage. Ryanair from Edinburgh was £89 for the same.
Many people are mindful of the pennies just now and that’s just too good to knock back.

Has anyone any experience with the Currensea Mastercard Debit card? It seems good value and has great Trust Pilot reviews. I think what makes it different from other cards like Monzo and Starling is that you don’t have to open a new bank account, it just links to you current one. They have a free card and a premium one which is £25 a yr and also an elite, which I think gives you certain lounge access.
They are advertising their ‘premium & elite’ exchange rates today at 1.1710 and their free card at 1.1652.
For comparison, M&S walk in rate today is 1.1293.
It looks good, just wondering if anyone has had experience with it.

Although we live in Glasgow, the last few times we have flown to Anfi has either been from Prestwick or Edinburgh.
Each of these is only an extra 20 mins to get to than Glasgow, but the savings have been too much to turn down.
Almost £400 saving in total for the 2 of us, if I compare to JET 2 and probably a bit more with TUI, and we’re not compromising on flight times that land you in at 2 am.
Flies out around 6.15am (ok, so that’s an early start) and flies back around 11,30am. On our final day, id rather be up and away than hanging around all day waiting to go home, so it suits us.
Might be worth a look for anyone that normally flies from Glasgow.

Visited here again tonight.
I take back all I said previously. I’ve no idea what happened, but we ordered a lasagne and a grilled chicken breast with ‘spicy fries’lasagne was just about passable, but only just. Chicken was bland, fries had some salt on them. sautéed veg may have been sautéed, but I don’t think it was tonight.
Needless to say, we won’t be spending our hard earned cash here again.
We’ll vote with our feet.
Also, when we got the bill, i thought €11 for a Martini with sprite was a bit of a joke.
I appreciate prices are going up but that’s ridiculous.Just a photo of some machinery going into the new Spar in June.
Hi Brian
It passed without incident, as far as I’m aware. It just seemed to be a bit windy with a small amount of light rain. Unless anyone in another part of resort has noticed anything different.
We have a friend in Tenerife at the moment and they had torrential rain.
Today has been back to being glorious.Regards
Robert
Thanks for that Brian and sorry for the late reply.
we’ve only arrived and it looks like they are taking precautions for storm Oscar.
it’s windy and the water is very choppy. Looks like it might be like this till the end of the week.I’ll update with anything major, but whilst I think it’s helping the uk with high pressure and better weather, it’s giving the canaries a kicking by the sounds of it.

Robert
Apologies if this sounds like a silly question.
my cousin is renting an apartment in July and has never been to Anfi before and doesn’t own there, can she still make use of the Anfi transfer service?Regards
Robert
I need to do a top 5 too.
interesting comment regarding Bella Pasta, might give it another bash.
I totally agree regarding on-site, they just don’t offer value for money and service offered elsewhere. We know it’s down to their horrendous rents and that’s not changing anytime soon.hi Brian
I think the most I have waited is maybe 15-20 minutes.
we waited ages for our luggage last year as well, perhaps that has also caused a delay.
I used to use A2B transfers, but we’ve used Anfi for years now-cant see there being much of a difference as €11 p/p each way is hard to beat.
Hi Stuart
It can be tricky, I suppose it all comes down to trust to a certain extent.
Maybe one way to do it would be agree to pay a deposit and the balance once you have the Guest Certificate in your name.
