Through 2019 or until 2019?? That makes no sense, how it could take that long?

If they had alot of structural damage, and have not started repairs, It could take that long. So many resorts down is just terrible for the Island, but we kind of forget the magnitude of this storm!!! I feel for the working people, non of this will bring vacationers back that will be so needed if the Island is too recover... No one wants to hear negative reports, but given the damage this hurricane did, Not surprised at the time frame at all... Something to remember is!!! Between waiting on ins. money, lack of material, and decent repair people, this all makes sence... We have damage at our home on Island, and the repairs will take much longer because the material is just not available. Especially roofing... Of cource these resorts should have much better availability, but the damage is huge .. Feel just terrible for the Island and its people.. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

Wow, I just don't understand how it could take that long. Have they begun any work on the buildings? Was there structural damage to the buildings?? Is there any statement as to the actual extent of damage? This is so unfair to the timeshare owners.

moontide said: I saw this mentioned on FB as well. However, it was in regards to the Flamingo property. Does this apply to the Royal Palm as well? Yes as stated in my post.

Devastating for the employees and folks who have homes there for many, many years. A bad time for all

Did any of you see the episode on the TV series "Undercover Boss" featuring the CEO of Diamond? Bare cheated in his pool, crowing about all his money. That put me off Diamond before I even considered buying there. We have 7 TS's, but no Diamond in the rough rough!

Actually there were two episodes of Undercover Boss with him. I found his conduct on both to be rude and boorish.

SXMScubaman said: He is no longer the CEO of Diamond and lost his position before Diamond was sold to the current company. Thanks. That is what I thought as I was pretty sure he was out.
