Powhatan is said to have "high" MF- and going higher. I didn't see much change this year, nor was there another special assessment.
Eileen

I disagree that Powhatan has 'High' MFs, $779.25 for a 4BR lockoff which is two complete 1230sqft 2BRs is par in my opinion, of course it seems like a lot if you were used to the depressed fees of ~$450 they were charging a couple years back. Also seems like a lot if you're in Club Sunterra and your unit is only allotted 6000 SunOptions instead of 15,000; that's probably what you're talking about.
 
Spence,
I agree with you! That's why I put the "high" in quotes. That's what the salespeople were saying to convince me that actually paying a little more in the trust for 11K Points would be cheaper in the long run than paying the MF to Powhatan as a fixed week owner. Guess I didn't make myself clear. I think my Powhatan is the cheapest MF I pay on 2 bedroom units. And I've decided to keep my eyes open for one of those 15,000 point units to crop up on ebay. I could afford to practically give away the week 8 - or use it after we retire. It's often nice in Virginia the end of Feb.

A Powhatan Wk26 and Wk27 4BR recently went on eBay for ~$3800 and $5100. the $3800 was an exceptional deal for 15,000 unit and the $5100 was a good deal.

I haven't gotten the new SunOptions book yet. I forgot about week 26 being 15,000.

47 may be the cheapest week to find and 52 gives you the bonus of Wk53 in that one year out of ~seven that makes that week average to almost 18,000!

New SunOptions Directory should be out sometime in February, not holding my breath. Also asked Club if they could put it online like the SunGlances book.
 
Spence, the new Sun Options Directory and the SunGlances Directory should have the same numbers? Correct.

SunGlances is a general 'How To' guide and contains no SunOptions numbers.

It is available to download for anyone, not just members. You gotta be a member to find the link on the Sunterra site but if you click on this
https://secure.sunterra.com/US/pdf/SunGlances_Guide.pdf
it'll get you a slowwwww download of the .pdf file.

I'm trying to learn as much as I can about Sunterra and tried the above link but it does not work. Can someone help me find this thread? Thanks!


Cyndy,
The Boards are periodically purged of older Threads and Postings to allow more space for current and future posts. Everything was pruned about 2 weeks ago, and the link in question was probably in the information. I'm sure Spence would be happy to chime in and respond to your request.

My memory is not photographic, that was an extensive thread that had lots of answers and information. What are your questions? You might also check out this BBS Forum
