It appears that the AMF for 2010 has increase over 10% for the resorts managed by Diamond Resorts in Sint Maarten. The increase is well above the 5% increase in the CPI for the NA. Many of the resorts use this index to increase their AMF fee each year.
This increase is another reason that you should support the SXMTSOA, we are prepared to confront the government of St. Maarten about the continued violations of the intent of the timeshare industry to provide a reasonable lodging experience for the average consumer. With some of the maintenance fees above normal weekly rack rates the next question is how many of the owners will walk away from the entire experience.
The Sint Maarten Timeshare Owners Association is ready to step up to the plate to help the individual St. Maartn timeshare owner. You the owner deserve better; the management companies cannot continue to reap the outrageous fees each and every year and not provide the leaseholder any information on how their monies are being utilized.
Please consider joining our organization to protect your leaseholder rights in Sint Maarten. We are close to our second goal of 200 members before the end of the year.
