Anfi Beach Club

1 reader found this review helpful

We stay at my parents apart at Anfi Beach, they bought it when it was firat built before the rest were even started. I've been 4 times and going again this year, we love it. It has everything we need for a family we go down to the pool during the day and sometimes the beach. We eat out every night in the plaza and have a few drinks and do the shopping round there too. Weve been out of the complex before to eat and shop occassionally but its so easy to stay there esp when you have children with you. Absolutely love it and wouldnt change anything except the week is in school time and it costs a fortune to change it to s floating week!
Never had any probs there except once we got blamed for noise when it wasnt actually us think it was the apart above us as we could hear the drunk man too!

Oh My Goodness.
as i walked into this hotel it felt like a dream. we booked a holiday for 2 weeks and stayed in a different hotel the 1st week then moved for the second. we had accidentally booked them overlapsing therefore went and booked in and looked around, fell inlove and moved out of the other and straight into that one.
Whilst there we had everything on site pretty much shopping centre variety of restraunts a beach a big pool, gorgeous gardens and a lovely room. just to feel that you had the freedom. with its own island that you crossed a bridge to. it was good that even if in a differnet hotel you could go into the other "Anfi resorts" facilities. I would definetly go again and wish you could go yearly but it has a 4 yearly stay rule for the chance for others to experience its individuality.
i would most definitly recommend this and hope people have just as much fun as i did !

We visited Anfi after staying on a package holiday in 2001. We liked the atmosphere, and were impressed with the complex, but didnt believe it could all be true...and it wasn't. We bought a week at Anfi Beach Club off the net @ a fraction of the price we were offered. After first visit, we bought a 2 week also at ABC off the net to take the kids/friends with us. 99% of what the reps told us was lies - free sunbeds, free water sports, freeweeks available to owners etc. However the hospitality staff in the bars/rests/receptions are excellent. I don't trust the reps and given the ownership struggles that have been occuring for the last few years, the reps will not be regulated and have impossibnle targets to achieve. We love the place for holidays, avoid conversations with the reps; who always promise they have something for us; which they never do, because we are owners of 3 x fixed weeks and it offers everything we want/need. Yes the rests are expensive, but Peurto Rico isn't & thats 5 mins in a taxi!
Go on try it, but dont buy or trust the reps!

I first bought a 1 bed in Anfi Beach 8 years ago after doing the Anfi visit. I was amazed at the whole place and then bought a bi-ennial year which was not so good so upgraded to a floating week in Gran Anfi. Owning two weeks give me the advantage of belonging to the Anfi Vacation Club so we can swap weeks,and get a 2 bed which means I can take other members of my family. Visiting again March 09 with my grandchildren, it is so good for families. We ate at the new Indian Restaurant by the mini golf and had a great meal. We usually go into Porto Rico for dinner and can recommend the Las Vegas Steak Bar on the first floor of the shopping centre. We are always well looked after and the food is great. Taxi's are cheap. We visit every year and it is like a second home. The only downside is the value of the Euro which has made this year's maintenance charges a little expensive. Would have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone.

I bought my 1st apt in 2007 in Anfi Beach a 1 bed and was really happy with it I upgraded 18mnths later to a 2 bed and again have been very happy with my time their. We still have the 2 bed and bought another 1 bed for November (I need my winter sun. We have only exchanged once as we like it at Anfi so much. I do find that on site it is expensive but because the facilities are 5* we just buy our food from the local supermarkets (not on site)and eat when we want to and then go down the town to have a few drinks as these are far too expensive on site. Sometimes the entertainment could be better and also I find it is not long enough as at home you go to see someone sing and you have either two 45mins or 3 half hour sessions, at Anfi you are lucky if you get 1 half hour from the singers that come in.
Overall I am happy with the cleanliness of the site as it has grown over the years we have been there and the choice of pools is fantastic. The staff are always very helpful and taxis are cheap enough.
The maintenance has gone up but only because the Pound has dropped against the Euro, hopefully it will rise again but I think not.

My Husband & I were roped into buying ANFI in 2007. The rules are not properly explained! We bought for every other year(evens) so we got a free week which we took Jan 2008. When the RAT entered our apartment I was a bit freaked but expected to be dealt with immediately! BIG MISTAKE! Oh they sent up a man who moved furniture about couldn't see anything so left. 2 days later we got fed up, with the constant scratching they sent up somebody who put rat poison under the units, not acceptable especially if we were using the sofa bed in the lounge! They say that the money men do not sell. LIE. they claim the beds on the beach are free for anfi club memebers. LIE! I hae since stoppe paying, yes I was paying over 5 years. I have been threatened by ANFI, when I called to explan that I could not afford it, with county court etc. We have paid nearly £3000 for a total of 11 nights at the resort. The maintenance charges seem to equte to £600 pa. you go figure If I ever stay there again it will be after buying somebodys week that they cannot use that year & are selling on ebay. You are buying into a LIE. I think it is iverrated & they definately overcharge. I have stayed in accomaodation of the same quality in other countries for a lot less

We are new members of Anfi and this was our first return journey staying in 'our' apartment for one week - all I can say is apartment is delightful overlooking marina, sea, plaza (i.e. restaurants, bars and shops), the beach and the evening entertainment. We found the apartment and balcony (very private) very spacious for a one-bedroomed apartment. The room is well decorated and maintained (the one thing that did spoil things is the 'flower box' on the balcony, we felt, these required more attention paid to them.
There is a fabulous 18-hole mini golf course - which even being non-golfers we found highly enjoyable. Food wise, we personally, found the selection very limited with the same things more or less in all the restaurants, day in day out - not very imaginative. My partner also felt that the restaurants need to widen their range of imported beers and not just have their local beer - which is not to everyone taste - we had to frequent Puerto Rico Shopping Centre and visit an English bar to get a decent pint. However, since our return, there is an Indian restaurant by the mini golf course where we found the food to be excellent and well worth a visit. Evening entertainment is very disappointing - we only found one act that we liked - the others were boring. The acts would start at around 8.30pm/9.00pm and finish either 10.00pm or 10.30pm. All you then have on the complex are the 'traders' selling their goods until around 11.00/11.30pm. What sells this holiday for us is the accommodation, mini golf and the weather which was far better than forecast on the internet before we left the UK.

Well what can i say about anfi apart from they were true to the word in all they told us.We booked up with sovreign and dont get me wrong they were great apart from the hotel we were in the Gloria palace the staff were great but dont be misled by the entrance to the hotel which first impressions we were wow this is spot on until we went to our room which was more like a travel lodge apartment .The couch was more than well worn we had no kettle in the room or nothing.Then we were given the chance to go and view anfi i must admit at first i did think it was just 1 big scam but after the tour and we sat down with the reps and the explained all to us we jumped t the chance and we moved in a few days later to the beach club which we wished we had done sooner.The apartments are spot on no faults at all the resort is beautiful in itself it is a must see for all.Ok the restraunts and bars are a bit on the expensive side but they do have a local spar which has every bodys needs and is very well priced all the staff are freindly and can not do enough for you .As for night life you can get a taxi into puorto rico which is fantasic for nights out and food yes you do get hasseld buy people trying to get you to eat or drink in theire establishments but i found just say no to them and they will leave you alone.We found our fav bar there Tonys bar the staff and locals are great and very friendly would recomend it to anybody they also have a bar over theway to itcalled maggie mays which on a night have a kareoke which is always good fun ok enough final word go have a look for yourselve and you will see what everybody is going on about.
