Owners ordered to pay €7 million to 600 workers at the Bahía Príncipe Fantasía hotel
The Supreme Court of the Canary Islands (TSJC) has ruled that Hoteles Piñero Canarias must pay €7.1 million to around 600 former and current employees who worked at the Bahía Príncipe Fantasía hotel in Golf Del Sur (south Tenerife) between June 2021 and September 2022.
The Court declared a deal the company struck in July 2025 with its former works council null and void for a 15% profit share among those staff. That agreement attempted to cut the amount by more than half, by excluding hundreds of staff who have left the company.
The court found that the hotel group tried to impose an illegal reduction, lowering the payout to €3 million and benefiting only the roughly 300 employees still on the payroll.
The TSJC described the move as harmful and self-serving, noting that it contradicted an earlier ruling which had already set the amount owed at €7,168,857 for all 600 affected workers.
The judgment takes immediate effect, meaning any payments made under the now-void agreement have no legal validity and must be corrected.
