I have no inside information at all about what their motives are, but I mistrust them. I actually don't think they intend to abandon or sell the properties, but I think they have other motivations. Which I think specifically include getting rid of a bunch of timeshare weeks and being able to rent out as a hotel more. With regard to Royal Palm in particular, they want to get rid of the people running the restaurant, which they have been trying to do for YEARS, and they want to get rid of the whole owners. And again, I have ZERO information that my position is correct, but it makes sense to me. Much more sense than not being able to reopen until 2020...
