Got this in the mail last week. "At this time, we do not have an exact date for when the resorts will reopen, but current estimates reflect the construction process to last until the end of March 2020. We are hopeful that construction will be completed sooner, but are setting realistic timelines based on many unknown factors, including weather and limited resources, which could impact the schedule. Our goal is to welcome you back to Royal Palm Beach Resort and Flamingo Beach Resort as soon as possible, so you can enjoy all that the charming island has to offer. You can also find monthly updates on DiamondResorts.com under the specific resort pages."

Sorry, it was ridiculous when they announced that date and it's still ridiculous. There's something else going on there..

I think you are very much the exception. If I owned timeshare there, I would be up in arms.. We drove by Royal Palm a few times last month and I really didn't see too much going on, workers' cars in the parking lot, etc..

I was upset at first but we had excellent accommodations in a 2 bed villa rental this last year. We have it reserved for 3 weeks again next year right next to La Vista, where friends are staying, and Flamingo. I can wait it out. Can you let me know the Name of the Villa you are renting and agency, if you are using one? Sorry to go OT. You can PM me if you'd like. TIA

I agree Carol. Its hard to fathom that they can take such a large loss of potential revenue. Its also seems suspicious that they don't have many details sussed at this time.
They loss of revenue must be crushing. Not to mention there will be owner attrition and refusal to pay AMFs. I have no special knowledge but it seems to me that they are treading water until what they decide to do with the property (restore, sell, abandon).
Interesting thought: Wasn't the Flamingo part of the Pelican Resort (now SBR) and sold off? I wonder if SBR would like that property (s)?

I have no inside information at all about what their motives are, but I mistrust them. I actually don't think they intend to abandon or sell the properties, but I think they have other motivations. Which I think specifically include getting rid of a bunch of timeshare weeks and being able to rent out as a hotel more. With regard to Royal Palm in particular, they want to get rid of the people running the restaurant, which they have been trying to do for YEARS, and they want to get rid of the whole owners. And again, I have ZERO information that my position is correct, but it makes sense to me. Much more sense than not being able to reopen until 2020...

Just curious, how much will the maintenance fee go to when this is all done? Any chance of an additional special assessment?
I have friends who got on the property and took pictures of Royal Palm back in March. While is is a complete rebuild, I doubt it took this long to build the building initially.

As I said, I don't believe they are doing all they can, to do it as quickly as they can., and they have other agendas You are perfectly free to disagree. You won't convince me and I won't convince you.

new to this forum. I am a long time Atrium owner that has had enough.When I asked for details how the assessment was determined I got no answer. As of today I have not paid them anything for 2018. Anyone else taking a stand?
What the heck this have to do with Diamond Resorts? Way to hijack a thread.
