We visited earlier in the week and probably won’t be back.
The food wasn’t as good as has been in the past, which was excellent.
I also thought €6 was a bit steep for a bottle of Cobra beer, although, even as a Scotsman, that wasn’t the reason😂.
it gives us a reason not to visit the shopping centre as we’ve never been the biggest fans of having menus thrust in our face from other places, although I realise they are only doing their job.We are here just now and have noticed that although there was never a maid service on a Wednesday or Sunday, there was always a bin change.
The bin change has been temporarily suspended.
Also there is no entertainment in the plaza in the evenings and nothing advertised on the entertainment board.
Are these just cost cutting exercises due to the administration?Whilst the entertainment was never the greatest, at least it brought an atmosphere to the plaza.
someone else said to me that Benito is no longer in the plaza in the evenings for the kids, although I’ve only got that news second hand.regards

I got the confusion cleared.
the ‘Spth’ form is from the Spanish government. You only need to complete that if you DO NOT have a COVID Passport, or DCC as it is called.
passenger locator forms no longer required at all.
we flew in on Saturday, first off the plane, passport stamped straight away and the ‘showing of the covid passport’ is only randomly selected.
we were through with no delay, just the usual waiting at the carousel.
I hope this helps someone.regards

Sorry to mess up your forum tidying by using the old thread but I couldn’t find a way to reply to the new thread or start a new one.
Robert
It actually feels strange to be travelling after 2.5 years.
Thank you both for the info, we’ll definitely give it a try.
Who doesn’t like a free wine/beer sample ??

ps. Brian, for clarification, is it the Taj Palace at the marina that is around 1/3 cheaper?
I tried it a few years ago and it was nice, but we’ve been going to Happy valley for so long.
Good addition, thanks.
Am I right in saying that this is fully open?
is it worth a visit and any restaurant recommendations for here?
regards
Robert
For Indian, I’ve always found Happy Valley in the PR shopping centre excellent.

We used to go to Fernando’s but haven’t been for a while.
we’re hoping to be out in early June and will give it a bash again.regards

I had a problem last year and Anfi said I would get it nearer the time, which I found unacceptable when you’re trying to get a rental fee from someone who doesn’t know you and who has to ‘believe’ that you’ve actually booked it.
A couple of phone calls eventually sorted it.
I have yet to be contacted by Anfi to sign a new contract on my 2 weeks.
I’m wondering if it because of one or both of the following reasons.
1. They are both resale weeks in Gran
2. The were bought in 2009
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Robert
I was in the same boat as well being a resale owner.
My insurer (Direct Line) refused to pay out for the same reason.
However, when I called to book for 2022, Anfi gave me 2 additional weeks to use.
I booked them immediately, before anything changed.

I’m glad to say that Ryanair have just emailed me to say that they are cancelling my flights from Edinburgh next month.
Hopefully the refund procedure won’t be tedious.

I have the same problem, only link I see is Club Forum on far right.
Using a Mac and Safari 14.1, I’ve had this for a while as well and meant to mention it.
I’m a bit confused myself.
We are due to go on 5th June with Ryanair from Edinburgh, but as Spain is still on the amber list which requires self isolation on the way back (I don’t even know what’s required going into GC. I haven’t looked as we won’t be going)
I was hoping to get a refund from Ryanair, but now I’m not so sure.
Spain is open, we are now allowing travel there, but I would have to self isolate on the way back, which I can’t get time off work for, nor could I afford to take unpaid leave on order to do it.
I have no idea where I stand on this as Ryanair could probably say the isolation is noting to do with them.
it may be early days, but can anyone shed any light on this?
thanks in advance
Robert
We have a Ryanair flight booked from Edinburgh on 5th June. We’ve already decided that we aren’t going and have put the week up for rent.
I’m just hoping that Ryanair will cancel the flight rather than me having to move it to another time of the year as I have already cancelled my January week at a cost of €40.
I tried to rebook Anfi for later in the year only to be told there wasn’t availability, so I feel I probably won’t get use of my weeks this year, and that’s after losing a week last year.
As much as it hurts in the pocket, we are looking at the bigger picture and just glad that we have our health.regards
Robert
We had a week in January which we cancelled and we were charged a €40 fee.
Perhaps not a scam, but has anyone else had unsolicited text messages like these?Hi Ian
You may have done what I almost done.
Go to the Anfi website, click on members area, but do not log in.
look at the password request under the login and request it that way.
I got an email back straight away and it worked instantly.
hopefully this helps, please let me know how you get on.Regards
Robert
Managed to get it sorted.
Anfi emailed me this morning and asked me to reset the password and it should refresh everything.
It worked as soon as I done it and it has now been paid, although all my online payment history has disappeared. I have emailed them back and asked them to have it reinstated.
Regards
Robert
Hi Brian
Still no sign of the link, or even the invoice amount to pay online.
im not waiting to sign any new contract as I have 2 resale weeks. Anfi haven’t pestered me for anything since 2010.
I’m more disappointed that Collections haven’t been in touch.
thats 4 days now, especially as I’m trying to pay.
I’ll call them next week if I don’t hear from them, but I’ll keep trying online in the meantime.regards
Robert
Thanks David.
All I seem to be able to see is my payment history.
I am using a Mac using the Safari Browser and I have also tried Google Chrome, just the same.
Also tried using an iPad with the same results.
It doesn’t show ‘invoices in pdf’ or even the maintenance fee amount, never mind a link to paying it.
Still nothing from Anfi, to be honest I thought they would have been back to me like a shot as I was trying to pay them money.
Regards
Robert
I would imagine he would be advising the travel insurance as making good sense as the EHIC isn’t the same as travel insurance. Unfortunately, some people think it’s the same thing.
