Awarded refund: $163,434
Awarded for taking money withing the cooling off period: €148,585
Awarded interest dating back to1999!
And all legal cost awarded!
The clients bought their first weeks at Marriott Vacation Club in Marbella in 1999 and again in 2002. In 2004 they bought at Marriott Son Antem. In 2004 again in Marriott Marbella Beach, and in 2005 another week in Marriott Marbella Beach. The total maintenance fees were €17,000 per year.

Great Victory Court number 3 Marbella against Marriott Marbella Beach
£7,286.78 refunded
These customers are English and bought at Marriott Vacation Club’s Marbella Beach resort.
After 14 years, they can no longer bear the constant increase in maintenance fees. Even during COVID, they couldn’t use their week but, had to continue paying maintenance bills to MVCI Management SL.
Now Marriott Vacation Club has to refund the money they paid for the contract because it is null and void.
Great Victory in Court number 4 Marbella against Marriott Marbella Beach
$41,752 + $61,400 = $103,152 total refund
These customers paid $61,400 for the purchase of several weeks at Marriott Marbella Beach.
They have had many problems using the weeks because Marriott Vacation Club claimed there was a lack of availability.
For the same reason, the contract is null and void: it is not legal to buy the use of a week annually and then have Marriott tell you that there is no availability.
Now Marriott has been ordered to refund part of the price they paid ($41,752) plus double the amount ($61,400) because they paid during the cooling-off period.
In total, Marriott Vacation Club must pay $103,152.
Great Victory in Court number 6 Marbella against Marriott Marbella Beach
€12,114 refund
The client bought a week in the Silver season, which is cheaper. But the maintenance fees charged by MVCI Management started at €520 and are now €1,125.
Marriott Vacation Club did not inform the customer of the increase in maintenance fees, among many other things, and that’s why the contract is null and void, and Marriott must refund €12,114 (the price minus the time used).
Great Victory in Court number 5 Marbella against Marriott Marbella Beach
€19.900 refund
These customers are Irish and bought their week at Marriott Marbella Beach in 2010.
The contract does not specify the termination date. No Marriott contract specifies the day it ends, and for that reason, it is null and void.
A contract must have an end date, and in Spain, the maximum is 50 years.
In this case, Marriott Vacation Club has to refund €19,900 minus the enjoyment time of these 12 years.
In this case, Marriott does not have to pay double because the customer did not pay during the cooling-off period but paid after three months of signing the contract.
Great Victory Court number 5 Marbella against Marbella Beach Resort
€21,840 + €18,814 + €31,200 + €25,425 = €97,279 total refund
Dutch customers purchased a week from Marriott Vacation Club in 2006, paying €31,200, and in 2009, Marriott sold them another week for €25,425.
The customers have three complaints: Marriott always tells them that there is no availability for the weeks they want to stay, Marriott has increased their maintenance fees from €690 that they started paying to €1,164 per week in 2021, and they have tried to sell the week, but Marriott has informed them that it is almost impossible.
The option has been to seek our help to sue Marriott Vacation Club for the nullity of the contracts and the refund of the money paid: €21,840 for the 2006 contract and €18,814 for the 2009 contract.
Additionally, Marriott will have to pay double because they charged during the cooling-off period (€31,200 + €25,425). In total, Marriott will have to pay €97,279.
