Westin Lagunamar two bedroom annual platinum plus
MF $ 1,278.71 (without SVN fee)

Annual 2BR Lockoff - $1101.80 MF + $176.91 Reserve = $1278.71
Annual 1BR Premium - $692.22 MF + $111.15 Reserve = $803.37
Annual 1BR Studio - $409.58 MF + $65.76 Reserve = $475.34

I notice the MF bill that just arrived in the mail says "Phases 1 - 4" on ours. Is there a different rate for other phases?

It is starting to get strange that SDO MF is not released yet.

SDO - 2Bedroom Lockoff (floating week 1-52)

$986.08

oops...I don't have the breakdown, just the total from mystarcentral

Yes, it (SDO) just came in!

Sheraton Desert Oasis 2 bedroom Lockoff

Last year's total was $908.41; so about an 8.6% increase. A bit high, but in the audio file Quiet Pine sent me from the HOA meeting, they said the resort is planning a major renovation in a couple of years. So they planned to increase the reserves funding to cover that and avoid a special assessment.

Sheraton Desert Oasis 1 Bedroom Premium

$677.93

Up from 611.25 in 2011, so about a 10.9% increase.

Ouch!

Sheraton Desert Oasis 1 Bedroom (Small)

$575.21

Up from $523.63 in 2011, so about a 10% increase.

Ouch, again!

Is there a premium for an eoy 2 bdr?
My fee shows up as $513.04 which is more than a 2 bdr annual...

That's all that shows up though. No additional fees for anything.

They add about $30 to the EOY maintenance fee.

Broken down:
2012 Operating Assessment $402.20
2012 Replacement Reserve $110.84
Total $513.04
The ARDA-ROC PAC contribution is an additional $5; I'll subtract it when I pay.

They add exactly $20 every year to the eoy for administrative costs. So, $986.08 / 2 = $493.04 + $20 = $513.04...

I left out the highly recommended, yet optional, ARDA contribution.

WKORN 2012 Maint Fee

1 Bd Std - $575.21 = $445.89 (oper maint fee) + $129.32 (reserves fee)

I just paid my annual MFs this morning (after all, why pay early?). Here are the details, and also some comparisons. I'm sure some of you may find this of interest.

Of these weeks, it's obvious to me that my "affordable" and "great trader" of SVR is taking the largest hit this year with a whopping 25% increase. Of course, it only had a 2% increase last year. Also, I list my two SVR Falls weeks separately so we can all wonder how/why I have two different MFs and different taxes. This may be the year I readjust my timeshare ownership.

WMH and WKV, in my opinion, were good to owners this year with minor increases.

Maintenance fees

We just purchased a time share with the Weston. The fee is $1300 and year. It seemed a little steep to us but the quality was good.
