Scubaman--I don't understand why there was so little occupancy, after the resort being closed so long. I guess I don't understand how timeshare works, but can people who have not been able to use their weeks the past few years, could they come in now for extra weeks, if there is room?

Yes through Destination Xchange. As long as their MFs were paid their fixed weeks were automatically deposited in that program to use at a later date. I still have 12 weeks deposited to use there or any other Diamond property with open weeks. Some probably elected not to travel because of covid restrictions and the process getting approved.

OK, I get that a lot of people don't want to travel, but with having paid for 4 years and getting nothing for it, I personally would try to do it. Probably do 2 weeks, to lessen the pain of all the testing crap.

And the property and rooms really looked fantastic. Was a long wait but well worth it.

Here at Royal Palm close to 100% occupancy. All of those planes -Short term renters mostly -even met some islanders staying for a vacation. I expect Flamingo the same ; Dutch side crowded French side deserted given the curfew. Went to Sipga on Thursday the owner said she is down 80% in covers due to curfew.
