I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. We first stayed at Belair in the mid 80s. We bought timeshares there in the late 80s early 90s. It was our family vacation every year for almost 40 years. The Belair weathered hurricanes better than most XSM resorts during all those years. We went every year , even when inconveniences caused by Luis and other storms, affected A/C, water temp and pressure, electrical outages happened we understood. We saw increases in maintenance much like other resorts and paid them faithfully. We also saw accessments and paid them in good faith since we were promised that they would be applied to infrastructure improvements such as A/C and water temperature and pressure as well as apartment remodeling. This was promised in writing. When we learned that monies were not applied as promised we decided to sell our timeshares. We still love Belair's location and a staff that is beyond fantastic.
The current situation at Belair is directly tied to the owners not using accessment money to improve infrastructure and remodeling as promised. It was inevidable that an outdated airconditioning system and water supply system would eventually fail if necessary improvements were not made and they were not. Add to that the mold problem that is very serious and a predictable effect of the outdated and failing AC.
Recent decisions are meaningful. In fairness, we hope that the actions proposed will meet all expectations. Hopefully, we will see a return for the Belair to the level it once was.
