Well, we’re being charged but I doubt anyone’s paying them although I could be wrong. And now, even RCI has caught on to their scam and is no longer accepting Towers owners trades.
We were paid in full through 2018 but I did NOT pay 2019. In my mind, had I been able to stay there in April 2020 I would have paid them happily but at this point, even if the Towers was to open, in my heart I know the remediation efforts of mold removal would be minimal if at all, and the grief to date would take too much of the joy from staying there again so basically, I think we’re done. It’s hard to walk away because we truly love our unit there and they have acknowledged in writing they already owe me four weeks but given the high AMFs on our unit it’s just no longer worth paying it when there are so many lovely places to stay. We will miss the staff who became more like a family but we can always stop by and visit.
Besides which, knowing that the owner, Mr. Ansary and his manager, Mr. Darby, and Ms. Chun - an island government member which, in my mind anyway, is almost worse yet, - have all, in their own ways, been playing fast and loose with us, there is no great desire to put more dollars in their coffers. We may come to regret this decision but my point of view is I have thirty years of multi-week trips of great memories so it’s time to let it go and move on.
And regarding the reopening date, there is none. They have to settle all the Ansary issues with the Bank of Curaçao and any other entities that may be involved, and then, there’s still the question of the Mullet Bay land ownership which might or might not further complicate things, although supposedly, the Towers sits in a free-standing piece of land separate from all the rest.
