free "Grand Holiday"

In Gran Canaria we were give a raffle ticket and won a holiday. Had to go and listen to some blurb about paying for the opportunity for cheap 5* accomodation to which we declined, when we tried to book our free holiday we were told it was 99 euros admin cost for a week at Atlantico in Fuertaventura and we would have to listen to a "presentation" no thanks. We also got a really expensive bottle of wine which sold in the local supermarket for 1.99.

    Yes, this is not a win. I had a phone call a while back....the same sort of holiday as you...but mine was in Malta. It worked out £99.00 for two of us. We had to listen to all the 'blurb' about timeshare..but we had a fantastic holiday. Wouldn't be for everyone...but we enjoyed it. We got cheap flights and it was a cheap holiday. It was not a win though...
