Jardines del Sol

The Resort & Setting

Jardines del Sol sits in the Montaña Roja urbanisation of Playa Blanca, a short walk from the C. Francia address that marks its entrance. The resort is built around informal, single-storey bungalows, each with its own private patio — a layout that suits owners who want private outdoor space rather than a standard hotel block. On site there are outdoor pools, a bar and a restaurant, and the overall feel — confirmed by Google's own editorial summary — is relaxed rather than formal. Reviewers consistently rate it highly, with 4.6 out of 5 from 854 reviews, a solid score for a resort of this style.

As part of the Hilton Vacation Club / Diamond network, owners here hold either a points-based membership or a traditional week, depending on how and when their contract was set up.

The Area & Things to Do

Playa Blanca is Lanzarote's southernmost resort town, originally a fishing village and now a well-established holiday base in Las Palmas province. It's known for its calm, sheltered beaches, its marina with ferry connections to Fuerteventura, and a long seafront promenade lined with restaurants and bars. The town is quieter and more family-oriented than some of the island's other resorts, which suits the kind of relaxed stay Jardines del Sol is built around. Lanzarote's volcanic landscapes, including the Timanfaya National Park, are within driving distance, and the island's dry, mild climate makes it a popular choice beyond the main summer months.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week, or who want to rent it out for a period, can list it privately on BidMyTimeshare.com. There's no commission on the sale or rental — sellers set their own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee to advertise, and buyers or renters contact them directly through the platform. This keeps the process transparent: you control the price and the timing, rather than going through a resale agency that takes a cut.

Before listing, it's worth understanding how a transfer actually works at this resort. According to Diamond Resorts Europe's March 2022 key information document, transferring points to a new or existing member costs £299 / €343.85 per certificate, while transferring a week to a new owner costs £200 / €230 per certificate (a family transfer is cheaper, at £75 / €86.25). HGV Europe's 2026 governing documents confirm that transfers are restricted: points can only pass to family, heirs, or through an HGV-appointed regulated intermediary, and resale-only points owners are not enrolled as full Members of the Club. No typical transfer timeframe is published, so sellers and buyers should ask the resort directly for a current estimate before agreeing a completion date.

This matters to anyone buying a resale week here too: a resale buyer should expect to pay the applicable transfer fee and confirm in writing exactly what membership rights come with the purchase, since resale-only points ownership does not carry the same Club membership status as a direct purchase.

Owners who hold a traditional week at Jardines del Sol can also exchange through RCI, which is the verified exchange network for this resort.

Practical Notes

Anyone selling or renting should have their account number, week or points allocation, and current annual fee figures ready before listing, as buyers will ask for these early on. Since transfer rules and fees are set by Hilton Vacation Club / Diamond rather than by BidMyTimeshare.com, it's worth contacting the resort or club directly to confirm the latest figures and processing time before finalising a sale price.
