I sent a question to the the same seller in regards to a listing they have. The property is biennial at Elara, but the listing says that the MF is paid annually. I asked the seller he said annual. Does not make sense to have yearly maintenance fee on Biennial. Also o the other it indicated that annual club dues for Hilton is paid for each property.
Actually some resorts that have biennial weeks DO collect maintenance fees each and every year, but that fee would be 50% of what you would pay if you owned it as an every year unit.
For example: Sally owns a biennial week at Marriotts Grand Chateau and pays $950 per week per year. Joe owns the same week at the same resort, but it is an annual week and he pays $1,900 per year. Sally ends up paying half as much as Joe, but she only gets to use it every other year, while Joe can use it every year. It's just a bookkeeping trick so that all the owners pay something every single year regardless to the type of ownership.
Hopefully my example is clear enough.
