For those owners who were questioning the situation with short term rentals, Wimpen has sent the following response . . . . .
“Rental availability at Las Casitas is currently open until July 31, 2025, giving owners ample opportunity to rent additional weeks. Given that Las Casitas is a small complex with only 49 units and a significant proportion of owner weeks, it's normal to see reduced rental availability, especially during popular periods.

Rentals contribute significantly to the resort's income, not only supporting investments but also helping to offset the deficit in owners' fees. The fees alone do not cover all expenses, and without the additional income from rentals, fees would need to increase, which would be unmanageable for owners. Therefore, restrictive policies at Las Casitas would be counterproductive as they directly affect the resorts revenue. It's crucial to carefully consider the impact of any policy changes which affect all owners but maybe benefit a few.”

The number of blocked Escritura owners is 516
The number of active Escritura owners is 674
Escritura owners are encouraged to transfer to the Holding compeny to avoid significant and expensive problems when they can no longer use their weeks
Holding company weeks can be:
Upon initial arrival, owners will receive a small soap and toiletries, a bottle of water, detergent, and a bottle of wine as a welcome gesture.. They are not intended to be used for the duration of your holiday, as a self catering villa, once used owners would be expected to provide their own. Additional welcome packs are available to be ordered through reception. Download details here.
