Tough times for Belair Beach Hotel. They just announced another $450 fee per week to the timeshare owners. (one time fee?) Some hoped the proposed sale that fell through would have saved the day but that was not to be. This totals approximately $2,000/week. Too many other options available in SXM,IMO. Great location, beautiful beach, wonderful, caring local staff, cannot compensate for owner's mismangement. Sad.

Sounds like they are trying to get everyone to just unload their t/s so that they can sell and bulldoze the place and build condos.

I am sure just like everywhere prices to maintain and other expenses have gone up substantially on SXM. And why hotels ,restaurants have had to raise prices. I have Never really liked the location or the beach at Bellaire but they do seem to be trying after spending a ton of money on their AC problems. ITs a uphill battle for sure.

It's all reflective of the budget management. Many TSs including ours didn't impose a special assessment this year because of world economy. Looks like Belair is destined for failure. Hate to see that as that is where we stayed on our first stay in St Maarten. Fond memories.

Freelancing is the way to go. Never understood owning a bed that 51 other couples sleep in every year. It is fun to move around.
