...and we KNOW that timeshare management companies would NEVER violate their contract. ...right... I know personally of a WHOLE OWNER at Royal Palm that Diamond rented out her unit without her knowledge or consent.

No. Royal Palm sold some units that the people owned the whole thing. You don't know this? You own a couple of WEEKS in a unit at Flamingo. The person involved had a contract that said they own the WHOLE YEAR, NO ONE COULD STAY IN THEIR UNIT EVER without their consent. Period. Diamond let someone stay in her unit. She ended up putting a LOCK on her unit so they could not do it. If you own somewhere else, I don't know what your contract is there but Diamond definitely rented out her unit, without her permission, in violation of her contract.

That's awful. Maybe Diamond didn't know though. Could have been the reception just trying to make some extra money.
At the reception desk if a guest pays cash on check in, a dishonest employee could tuck the guest away without anyone ever knowing.

We never had a problem when we still had timeshare. Our weeks in our units were ours! Period! Although there was one time very early in when they contacted us and asked if we would like to exchange our weeks or be willing to accept a lower floor unit since some dignitary of major importance was staying at Mullet Building 90 and for the safety of that person they were closing the upper floors of the Towers by island government mandate.
Respectfully,

Anything is possible, I suppose, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.. Carol...a HUGE difference between Flamingo/Royal Palm, and most of the others. LaPlage is run by Spaddarro......NOT a huge conglomerate like Diamond that runs hundreds of other resorts throughout the world. When it comes to LaPlage...i WOULD bet the farm on it!!!

I think that Flamingo/Royal Palm is fairly consistent with most other timeshares in SXM, which is that you really can't depend on management to be honorable. LaVista is an exception and probably LaPlage. Until Irma, one could put the Towers in that category. Now, not so much.

Not an issue at RI La Plage, very well run. But if you feel better reach out to them do it, they are easy to deal with.
Besides whole owners at Royal Palm there are also whole owners at Atrium and Sapphire that I know of. T
I prefer the Isle seat

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.
