Thanks for the start to the trip report! Did there appear to be work going on at Roxxy Beach? The soft opening was supposed to have been right about NOW...

Flamingo is a shell...as is Royal Palm. I could hear workers at Flamingo but absolutely zip at RP. Sadly, I still think there is more to this, especially with regards to Royal Palm. Thanks for the update and keeping it organized.

Thanks for the update and keeping it organized. Here we go again. Flamingo has a time table and is going with it as I posted in another update not long ago.

Does Flamingo have whole and quarter share owners? If not,I imagine that’s probably why there are workers there but none at RoyalPalm. Sounds like they’re trying to force the hands of many of those owners. The more they can drive out, the more real estate they have as rentable or saleable inventory down the road. Just a thought........

No idea on that pat. Unlike others, I smell a rat here.

Did there appear to be work going on at Roxxy Beach? The soft opening was supposed to have been right about NOW... That's what I thought and was shocked when I saw the area..Trucks and workers doing their thing. Looks active but far from finished. Also (looking at Simpson bay from the street) just left of Roxy are 9-10 small bar huts in a row a table or two outside ending at the street at an expanded Captain's Rib Shack ....mostly used by locals The beach (Kim Sha) where La Bamba et. al was is all sand...no evidence of there ever being anything there. Couple of shacks for water sports rental stuff towards Roxy area. Beach not busy...decent amount of people but not overwhelmed. SBR beach looked comfortably occupied but it is weird to look towards Flamingo where Topper's By the Sea WAS..and I do mean WAS. Just sand and no evidence of anything ever being there....Guess the view from the units is improved (or will be eventually)

I was not aware of a special assessment. We have not received a bill. Do you have information that we need? How much is the special assessment and when is it due? Thank you i advance, John

Thank you i advance, John That was billed out a year ago. Flamingo had none for fixed week owners. Not sure for this coming year for Flamingo but there are talks of just enough to replenish the insurance reserve for the fixed week owners. Points will be billed full MF as they can go to other Diamond resorts..

I understand that they will be expanding the size of the sports bar there, as well as increasing their menu offerings, which seems to be a good thing to me, as both seemed really small.
