On that note I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

I had previously said that the flights with Thomson in June 2018 from Edinburgh for 2, with luggage and extra legroom seats was over £1000-that still remains the same.
Ryanair are £494 from Glasgow for more or less the same thing, albeit not the best flight times-but also not the worst.
I am sooooooo reluctant to book with Ryanair because of all the cancellations to their schedule but I feel it’s far too good a deal to knock back.
Does anyone else have any reservations (If you’ll pardon the pun) with Ryanair??

Robert
On a slightly different tangent-I think most people would be shocked to see how much their case weighs with no luggage in it!!
We bought the lightweight cases a couple of years ago and they can make all the difference, although we are always hold luggage rather than hand.

We had a few years where we struggled to get our 2 resale weeks together, however we managed to get 2017 and 2018 booked for 2 weeks each year.
But it’s certainly not simple.

Been going to Happy Valley for a 2-3 years now since it was recommended to me by Saverio Calo-excellent food, service and value.
It’s now a must for us since Mem Saab closed.

Hi Brian
Regarding the Rep saying Anfi wanted to take a bigger role in resales.
I feel that for years Anfi have almost ignored the existence of the resale market, other than to charge large fees on change of contract.
I think they could have had the resale market more or less sewn up years ago if they had taken heed to the fact that not everyone would be keeping their weeks until they were pushing up daisies. If they had done something, they could have at least offered a good return to owners and made a fee and everyone would be a lot happier than they are now, where we are in a position that floating weeks are more or less worthless and in some cases people just giving them away to others who will cover the transfer fees.
It would be great if they took a constructive and ‘open’ approach to resales
Let’s wait and see what happens.

Why can’t people just get on with enjoying Anfi where possible?
As David said, it is just doing us all a dis-service.
Having shared a few beers on a few occasions with Richard I am convinced he works very hard on the various committees and can do without this.
Spats between this forum and that forum are getting very tedious now and no-one wins.

They could be people who have rented from friends, family etc.

I have had a few cold calls recently as well, I normally tell them I don’t own anymore and never hear from them again.
As for being mis-sold-I wasn’t and would never claim to be.
Did I initially pay too much when I originally bought?-yes-that was down to my interpretation of value.
We, like most, enjoy Anfi and are very happy with what we have, but every luck to everyone who has a claim if they feel they have been ‘wronged’

You only have to look at what places like the nearby Radisson Blu charge per night to see what could be made for vacant rooms.

Not the most tempting offer if I must say.
We normally go to Anfi in June and generally check skyscanner as Thomson normally release their flights around now.
Long story short-Thomson now don’t fly from Glasgow on a Monday-only a Thursday.
Thomas Cook don’t fly on a Monday either.
I can fly with them from Edinburgh, which is fine. However the price for both of us with a bag each and extra legroom was over £1000!!!!!
I am astounded!!
My other option is Ryanair for around £400-but I don’t even know if they will be around next year after what has happened. They announced more flights last week that would be affected into March next year and GLA-LPA was one of them-I can see that extending.
I also don’t fancy doing multiple stops.
Monarch went down the pan last week due to over capacity in Spain-really????
Any suggestions would be helpful as over £1000 is simply unacceptable for 2 flights to the canaries-that’s New York prices!!

I didn’t realise Lopesan were buying the other share as well.
Surely this can only be positive.

I don’t do facebook so I would be none the wiser.

Does Alan J Hutt have a tongue, or just a keyboard?
Seem a bit strange he has a spokesperson.

Unfortunately, as they are resale weeks we are excluded from AVC and cannot exchange or transfer.
We have 2 floating (Resale) weeks at Gran which we can book 12 months in advance.
Hi Brian
I think Cueva Pirata is another one that’s never open when we are there in June.

I decided to sell my weeks a couple of years ago and then changed my mind.
I advertised here and paid the fee. I also advertised on another forum, which did not have a fee. From memory I got around or 6 or 7 enquiries regarding my weeks. I asked each of them where they saw the advert-every single reply was that they saw it here!
I hope this info is of some use.

Hi David
Isn’t Monte affiliated to Interval International whereas the others are RCI?

I tried a couple of dates on the Sunshine website, but with no availability.
If anyone else has any success I’m sure we would all like to know.

O.K
Here’s mine.
1. El Gaitero
2.Valentino’s
3.Happy Valley
4. Cosi Come Sei
5. Fernando’s (Even though they were closed this year when we were there.)
We really need to look at some of the other ones that Liam has mentioned in Arguineguin, although I’m not sure if any are closed when we are there early/mid June.

Robert
Hi David
What’s your top 5?
Regards
Robert
Hi Liam
I haven’t found any new gems but we wanted to try Palm Garden but it is closed when we are there in June.
If I remember correctly, you started the ‘Top 5 Restaurants’ thread a few years ago. I still think that was one of the best threads that has ever been on here.
I’m sure peoples tastes and experiences have changed, perhaps we should start the thread again ?

This may sound like a silly question, but would Continental Trustees be able to tell you what apartment & week you have attached to your contract?
