The amount of special assessment does not "send me over the edge". What does is the fact that the "points" that are being offered are based on what physical units? We had previously converted one of our units (week 8,C11B) to the "points system" with the option that we could either use it or utilize the points. The points were still based upon a physical unit - not a "ghost unit" after demolition. We were ,in fact, very happy campers with the fixed unit weeks 8&9 C11A. Now all is changed and access to that physical unit will not occur again, but rather a unit and week not of our choosing. Weeks 8&9 are high season - week 9 is Heineken Regatta (which in normal years results in a high demand for any accommodation on SXM) and the view from unit C11A was only partially obscured by the Villa Building. Again the "leverage" of high season for the C and D buildings was beneficial in fixed week or point trades. Will trades of "ghost units" have the same priority?
Not to worry. Richard Sutton, SBR's Owner/Developer, recently stated that as long as Members request a points exchange 11 months in advance there should be no problem, even in high season. Hard to believe with the vast reduction (3 buildings) in inventory. Who wants to buy a bridge that I'm selling?
