It appears to be very common for fixed week owners at RI LaPlage not to double-check (and of course, they really SHOULDN'T have to....) their reservations. We exchanged into there once, and there was a lady at the check-in desk who had miscalculated which week she owned (I think maybe it was a leap year) and was going on and on about how she had come this same week for xxxxx years and why wasn't her unit available.

I really felt bad for the front desk staff who kept repeatedly trying to explain to her that her week was actually the previous week and it had gone unoccupied because she hadn't shown up. And that the unit was occupied by its rightful owner for the current week.

So, even as a fixed week owner, I would still call to be sure that I had my plane tickets booked for the correct week because I'm just a touch OCDC. But that's just me. And this situation was on her, not the resort.
