boucharda--what is NOT a generalization is that SXM has ZERO protections for timeshare owners. That is a FACT. If you buy a timeshare in SXM, you are depending on the integrity of the timeshare management company to protect you. That has often put the fox in charge of the henhouse. And when the fox starts doing what it does to the chickens, don't expect the laws of SXM to provide ANY protection.

Points of interest off the top of my head--1) Pelican--"Owners" shut out of their units, with almost no warning, while they were rented out, then sold to SBR, and new units built right in front of other units, blocking their views,; After Irma-- 2) SBR--some buildings demolished--what did the "owners" in those building get?? 3) Ocean Club--Demolished by Irma, owners got zero 4) The Towers--Ansary has apparently taken the insurance, rents out units, yet the t/s owners can't use the building, no resolution there, any time soon. "Owners" apparently get zero there either. 5) Royal Palm and Flamingo--THREE YEARS post Irma, still no resolution there, "owners" expected to continue to pay t/s fees for four years without being able to use their properties. Meanwhile the management company has business interruption insurance and they get paid regardless. And they plan on a whole bunch of "owners" just walking away during this time period, so they can sell their units all over again once they re-open. So far, that's working out pretty well for them. With COVID, there is a 6 week stoppage of work, which somehow in the timeline of Diamond Resorts, has translated into six MONTHS of delay in reopening. Both resorts could have been razed to the ground and rebuilt quicker. 6) The Atrium--decides to do renovation of the building this year, apparently seeing the writing on the wall regarding COVID, shutting out the "owners" for 7 months or so, I guess supposed to reopen soon. 7) Sonesta building downtown destroyed by Irma, will become a Planet Hollywood, supposedly, timeshare owners get zip.

Were there timeshares at Mullet Bay? Don't remember...

Is that enough??
