Club La Costa (CLC) (Now Wyndham Hotels & Resorts) operates one of the world's largest Timeshare schemes and, over the years, we have help increasingly large numbers of CLC members who tell us they are frustrated to be paying very high fees without being able to book the holidays they were promised. (See recent CLC member comments here and our introductory video here).
More recently, it has come to light that CLC developed an elaborate network of companies in an attempt to avoid paying out the flood of successful mis-selling claims brought against them - claiming they did not have funds to pay owners the compensation awarded by the Spanish Courts, despite the fact that they continue to collect tens of millions in maintenance fees each year.
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 Club La Costa (CLC) timeshare/points owners who were looking for a way out of their long-term membership contracts.
Following the string of successful claims against Anfi and other Spanish Timeshare operators, the first major ground-breaking legal judgement was won against Club La Costa in October 2015, meaning that Club La Costa had to pay back the original purchase price, maintenance fees & interest to the Customer, as well as paying the Court costs. The contract was also declared null and void, meaning the customer in question is now free of their CLC Timeshare liabilities for good. Read more...
The CLC members who contact us often report high, fast-increasing maintenance fees; great difficulty in booking the holidays they want due to poor availability, especially in the high season; constant pressure to upgrade to more expensive membership levels and overall dissatisfaction that their experiences are now falling well short of what was promised when they first bought into the CLC concept.
To find out your options for getting out of your CLC membership contract commitments and to see if you may qualify to claim money back from CLC following the raft of legal precedents that have now been set in the Spanish Courts, please complete the short enquiry form or call one of our specialist advisors now on 01628 232380.
Important update - Monday 3rd November 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.
3rd November 2025 – Mr & Mrs H, East Midlands - Club La Costa Points Member
"We joined Club La Costa thinking we’d have guaranteed luxury holidays every year – what a joke! The maintenance fees go up every year and now cost more than booking a normal holiday. They tell us the date we want aren’t available, but half the time you can see the same dates available at the resort we want on the internet, available to non-members. We were told we could sell back or cancel easily – total lie. We’re stuck paying for something we can’t use, it’s a nightmare." Read More...
8th September 2025 – Mr & Mrs A, Lancashire - Club La Costa Fractional Ownership
"We were pressured into signing after a long presentation. Lies, all of it, so am sure we were mis-sold. The resorts are packed, we can’t book when we want, and the maintenance fees are through the roof. Tried to sell it like they promised, but they say that’s not possible now and that we’re tied into the contract for another 12 years. How can we just get out of this?"

6th August 2025 - Mrs Sandra N, Surrey - CLC Fractional
"Lack of availability, raising maintenance fees as well as closure in the pandemic and lost all the points. The accommodation is cheaper if you book in booking.com"
19th July 2025 - Ms Jane C, Lanarkshire - CLC Points Scheme
"No availability when we want. Rising maintenance fees (this started during the pandemic). Still paying finance although it's now Novena Personal Finance instead of Hitachi Finance. Feeling tricked and coerced."
11th June 2025 - Mr & Mrs Patel, Essex - CLC Fractional Ownership
"We were pressured into joining CLC in Tenerife and we signed the contract and gave them bank details on the day. Once we came back to the UK, I called the company many times and we sent emails, but they didn't call back or reply. Then Covid happened and our circumstances changes, so we told them we needed to cancel, but they have still not responded and we’ve just had another bill for 1145 Euros. If we weren’t able to use any of CLC’s facilities, why should we have to pay lots of money? CLC claim we still owe them 20,300 and maybe more with maintenance. I would be very grateful if you could help me out and have all the paperwork and emails we sent to the CLC team."
21st May 2025 – Mr James T, Lanarkshire – Club La Costa (Wyndham Resorts) member
"Poor availability and very high fees are our main bugbears. But even when we have been able to book something low season, it feels more like a sales meeting than a holiday. We’re constantly pressured to attend presentations and told we need to upgrade to fractional ownership on vague promises of better accommodation and availability, but I just don’t believe them. We've already spent thousands - we just wanted the relaxing holidays we’ve already paid for, not more hard selling."
8th April 2025 – Mr & Mrs R, Lancashire – Club La Costa Fractional
“So frustrated, again! Reluctantly paid the maintenance bill for another year and have just spent several days trying to book, but just can’t find anything available for the dates we can travel even though I could book at the resort via holiday companies advertising on the internet!!! Whole thing is just a total con – and they are no help at all if you can ever get through to them, they just pass you from department to department until you give up. How do I get out of this and at least get some of our money back?”
18th March 2025 – Mr & Mrs J, Lancs – CLC Fractional Owners
“Just received another reminder to pay their ridiculous maintenance/management invoice, the day after spending hours on the website and trying to contact customer services about the fact that there is no availability AGAIN. Makes my blood boil. Why should we keep paying all this money for nothing. Just want to get out of this ******* thing and if we can claim money back, that would be even better.”
TIMESHARE EXIT
For the vast majority of people who come to us for help, the primary concern is to simply get out of the long-term fee liabilities to which they find themselves & their families committed.
It is often when changes in personal circumstances (e.g. health, mobility, bereavement, financial, relationships etc...) mean that the Timeshare scheme will no longer be of use - at which point it can suddenly clear that the Timeshare has no resale value and, worse still, carries significant, long-term fee commitments.
Please be very wary of what your Timeshare scheme operator may have told you if you have approached them directly as, believe it or not, they will often see this as an opportunity to try and sell you a Fractional ownership scheme on the promise of recouping your investment.

MIS-SELLING CLAIMS
Whilst it has only been in the last couple of years that news of an ever-increasing number of successful claims are being made against a growing number of Resorts & Timeshare scheme operators - mis-selling has been rife since the laws changed in 1999 but were largely flaunted by arrogant Timeshare sales operations, and it is estimated that 1000s of claims were settled out of Court, with confidentiality claims attached to prevent news spreading to the wider Timeshare member community.
However, since the high profile "Grimsbo vs Anfi SL" case in 2015, the floodgates have opened and the Spanish Courts in particular have been extremely busy, with an ever-increasing number of legal precedents being set and the the legal tide turning firmly in favour of the consumer at last.
To find out whether you have grounds for a mis-selling claim and/or whether your Timeshare contract is simply illegal and can be declared Null & Void, please contact one of our expert advisers today.
TIMESHARE ADVICE
The chances are that, having reached the point that you've decided that you wish to exit your Timeshare scheme, you will quickly find out that the promises made when you were originally sold the Timeshare will turn out to be false.
People were commonly sold Timeshares as "an investment" with promises of rising values, buy-back schemes and ease of re-selling whenever you decided to do so...
However, you only need to look on eBay to see hundreds of people desperately trying to sell their Timeshares for 99p... with no takers of course.
The sad fact is that there are very few 'Good' and a great deal of 'Bad & Ugly' Timeshare scheme operators out there - and they will do whatever they can to keep their members locked into unfair contracts, paying increasingly extortionate annual fees.
If you need some initial guidance from the independent experts, we're here to help...
