We have a timeshare in Gran Canaria.  We have to pay Maintenance every year and did so for this year. However we are not allowed to travel there, and the timeshare company will not refund us even some of the maintenance.  They have actually shut down our block due to few visitors, but say they are still open (2 out of4 blocks are) so apartments are still available!  As the amount we’ve paid is over 700€ we feel it’s unfair.  I’ve written to them nicely, saying we feel a partial refund is fair, but nothing is being offered.  Any ideas please?

    The maintenance will need to be done whether you go there or not, so there's no case for a refund, whether you go or not.
  • I think you would have a moan when you eventually went back to find serious problems due to lack of maintenance, you need to keep paying.
