If you can not stay in your own unit that you paid for, why pay those SOB's one dime of your money..Stay in luxury at the Cliffs would be my recommendation..
As to why people buy timeshares it totally escapes me..many of these people were warned numerous times..DON"T BUY ANY TIMESHARE, ANYWHERE EVER! Your locked in to the same week, unit looks great at 1st, over time they never look the same, no control over maintenance and special assessments, poor management. You feel like you own something but 51 weeks a year someone is living in your unit. As a 30 time visitor to St. Maarten, in my youth I stayed at more modest places and now that I have a few bucks I can stay anywhere i want except La Samanna..lol..Love the Cliffs, love Club O, and a few other places we stay. Can go the weeks i want to go, can fly during the week when it's cheaper..no worries. Stay AWAY from TIMESHARES

Scuba,
There are times we disagree but every once in a while.......I couldn't agree more had I written your post myself, and I'm sure all the people dealing with their current problems found the anti-timeshare poster's opinions really helpful with their current situation and plight.
C'mon, peeps, please stay on topic. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,
pat

Agreed, anyone here going down before the end of the year? After the first of the year, people would otherwise need to pay their 2015 dues to use their unit, but for this year, they should already be paid.

When would you normally have had to pay your AMF for 2015?

OK, at this point, you are just going to wait and see what happens?

Please do NOT sign that letter! An emergency meeting was called on the island by Minister of tourism, Ted Richardson...included were suppose to be people from Alegria (new owners) and Scotia bnk (supposedly)..if you want to keep your time share, fight this...email monique.hofman@bermon-law.com and ask her what is going on and see if they have pulled a group together to fight this..other resorts are SHOCKED this has happened because if it were to hold up, timeshares sales would stop on the island..resorts are NOT behind Alegria with this move
