Aruba Ocean Club Maintenance Fees

Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear it. We recently bought a unit there. I’ve never had MF’s go down.

Best regards.

Mike
 
"The resort closure and low occupancy levels have resulted in a significant operating surplus for 2020. Recognizing the hardship to Owners this year, the Board of Directors is applying a majority of this surplus to the 2021 Reserves. As a result, your Reserve Fee will be 15% lower than in 2020. This is a one-time adjustment and we anticipate being back to a historical rate in 2022. The Operating Fee is also 2.6% lower than last year. Compared to last year, the 2021 Maintenance Fees represent a blended decrease of 6.8%. "

I rounded. Lol
The mistake was insignificant, but it was the amount of the maintenance fees that were the cause... re: $1455 instead of $1445... :giggle:
