Exit Club La Costa Timeshare

Free Yourself from Anfi Timeshare,
Stop Paying Maintenance Fees & potentially Claim £££££s Back

Spanish Supreme Court rules that ANFI Timeshares were mis-sold and orders pay-outs of £40,000+ to Timeshare Owners.  Do You Also Qualify To Claim?

 

The Anfi Group of Gran Canaria operates one of the most aggressively marketed Timeshare resorts in Europe and the ground-breaking Spanish Supreme Court judgment of January 2015, and similar cases that have followed, have set legal precedents with wide-reaching consequences for Anfi Timeshare owners. (See recent Anfi Timeshare owner comments here). 

JUNE 2025 Notice - BEWARE as we are hearing current reports that ANFI are trying to force timeshare owners to sign new contracts to replace their original, illegal contracts. We strongly advise against signing any new ANFI contract without first seeking specialist, independent legal advice, as this may affect your legal rights and mean that you will no longer be able to claim compensation. In the event that you have recently been pushed into signing a new ANFI contract, please contact us immediately, especially if you signed within the last 14 days, as you will still be in the cooling-off period.

 

In January 2015, the Spanish Supreme Court ruled in favour of Timeshare owner Mrs Tove Grimsbo, declaring that Anfi Sales SL were guilty of mis-selling Timeshare in breach of Spanish and European Law.  The Court ordered that the contract was null & void and ordered Anfi to refund a total of €40000 to Mrs Grimsbo, including the original purchase cost and subsequent maintenance fees.

 

In this case, the Court ruled that Anfi had broken two specific laws.  Firstly, Anfi had required that Mrs Grimsbo paid a deposit within the statutory 14-day cooling off period; and secondly, Anfi had sold the Timeshare contract "in perpetuity", which effectively committed Mrs Grimsbo (and her next of kin) to paying timeshare maintenance fees to Anfi for ever.

 

Further judgments against Anfi and other timeshare groups have followed, with additional legal precedents being set regarding upgrades/trade-ins, "floating weeks" and other instances of mis-selling, with Timeshare owners being awarded full refunds of up to €53000.

Timeshare Advice Network provides independent, expert advice and services to members of many types of timeshare, points and holiday ownership schemes - and we have already helped a high number of Anfi Timeshare owners who were looking for a way out of their long-term membership contracts.

 

Now, in light of all the recent Court judgments, we strongly recommend that Anfi owners seek immediate independent advice to see if one or more of these legal precedents affect their own Anfi Timeshare contracts. 

 

To find out your options for getting out of your Anfi Timeshare and to see whether you may qualify for a full refund due to Anfi's mis-selling practices, please complete the short SEE YOUR OPTIONS form or call one of our specialist Anfi advisors now on 01628 290499.

Important update - 2nd June 2025:  Many of the major Timeshare Sales & Management businesses remain in turmoil. For example: Club La Costa is now in liquidation, Anfi Group are in bankruptcy administration and under criminal investigation, while the banks/lenders such as Barclays Partner Finance, Shawbrook. Hitachi and others which 'partnered' with Timeshare sales companies to provide loans to finance Timeshare purchases have set aside tens of millions of pounds to cover the cost of paying out for mis-selling claims. But please be aware that the clock is ticking and it is vitally important to seek independent, expert advice NOW, before it is too late. Here at Timeshare Advice Network, we remain fully equipped to provide help and advice remotely via telephone/video calls. However, our offices are again open to welcome you, should you prefer to arrange to meet in person. Please make your preferences known to your adviser.

16th May 2025 – Mrs Sharon P, Lancashire – Anfi Group, Gran Canaria Timeshare Member

"No availability when needed. Trying to book our week is a nightmare unless we do it a year in advance or pay extra. The resort is always fully booked, seemingly with a lot of non-members now who are renting off other people or booked direct off the internet, but us that paid a lump sum and are still paying yearly fees don’t get a look in. It doesn’t feel like ownership at all any more."

15th March 2025 – Mr Paul R, Buckinghamshire – Anfi Timeshare member

“The salespeople at Anfi keep hassling us to sign a new agreement, but I’ve read that they are in big financial trouble and that we shouldn’t do it. Had enough of it anyway frankly and when you add up the cost of flights, meals, drinks and everything else, could get a lot more for our money just booking a holiday online now anyway” Read More...

24th December 2024 – Mr Mark O – Anfi Group Timeshare Member

“In 2016 I was on a holiday with my parents and my sister. We were staying at Anfi Tauro Golf resort and had no knowledge of Timeshare. We were presented with an opportunity to upgrade our rooms and have a look at some sort of apartment, which is how we got dragged into a combined ANFI/RCI system. Since paying for this we have never been able to use it. It has always been booked by someone else or some other reason has meant ‘our’ apartment has not been available to us and we have not been there these past 8 years. Also the pandemic etc. has played a role, but we feel conned by all this. My parents and I have each paid half of the costs throughout for us to have "an apartment" to share for holidays, but for the past 6 years we have been trying to opt out. What to do?”

2nd October 2024 - Mrs Janet S, Lancashire - Anfi Timeshare, Gran Canaria


"We had to keep paying fees even though we couldn't use it during the pandemic and now we haven't been able to book this year because they say its too busy since the pandemic!  Feels like we're paying for other people to go on holiday while we can't. Not sure if its true but a couple of people have told us that Anfi have gone bankrupt so we have no idea what effect that will have.  We just want to stop paying fees and see if we can claim any of our money back."

11th July 2024 – Mr & Mrs H, Oxfordshire – Anfi Group

“The Timeshare was sold to us as an investment and there was explanation of any cooling-off period.  We also took out a loan for the original Timeshare purchase and still had to pay Fees through the pandemic.  Having watched your video, we think there is a very good chance that it was mis-sold to us.  How do we find out if we can claim compensation?” 

6th May 2024 - Mrs Brenda M, Oxfordshire – Anfi Timeshare, Gran Canaria
 

“Bought this ages ago and had some nice holidays to begin with, but we’re getting old and my husband is less mobile now so we can’t use it any more really.  I’m sure they said we could sell it back to them but they now say this isn’t possible any more.  Can’t afford to keep paying the fees just need to get rid of it”

4th December 2023 - Mrs Lucy G, South Glamorgan - Anfi Timeshare


""Maintenance fees went too high and it stopped being exclusive ages ago.  Its much cheaper to book just book alternative holiday on the internet than pay their fees."

Timeshare Exit Options
YOUR EXIT OPTIONS

 

The first and most important step on the way to exiting your timeshare contract is to seek independent, expert advice on your options.

 

Any promises made about your timeshare having a resale value are likely to be false.  There are 100s of timeshares being offered for sale right now on eBay for 99p... but nobody buys them due to the enormous fee commitments that they carry.

 

To get a truly independent view of how to rid yourself and your family of your timeshare burden, see your Timeshare Exit Options now.

Timeshare Claims
GROUNDS FOR CLAIMS?

 

The timeshare industry has for been largely unregulated, as timeshare falls outside the laws that govern property sales or "investments".  

 

This means timeshares have routinely been sold in high-pressure environments, with false promises often being made and never fulfilled.

 

However, recent landmark legal rulings now mean that as many as 150,000 Timeshare, Points or Fractional ownership contracts are illegal.  To find out your Rights and whether you may be entitled to claim your money back, please take independent advice today.

Our Guarantee
JUST NEED ADVICE?

 

Some of the Timeshare, Points or Fractional owners we hear from have a clear idea of what they want to do, e.g. to cancel their contract or pursue a compensation claim.

 

But the vast majority haven't decided what they want to do at all - and have often received confusing & conflicting advice from their resort, the "resale" companies and other timeshare owners.

 

If you are simply concerned that things aren't right and want to get some initial guidance from the independent experts, then we're here to help...
