the resort was originally owned and operated by Columbia Sussex out of KY and their owner is Bill Yung, who was the original developer. The units in question are called the Dawn Beach Club and are basically the condos that were built along with the resort hotel. Much like many condos, the financial meltdown killed sales so they are now being time shared. Yung is probably not selling them under the westin starrwood banner to keep his costs down. And since he is not paying Starwood disavows any connection. But TS owners have full run of the resort.
