I am hoping to find someone that knows Dawn Beach Club in St Maarten well. We are considering purchasing a resale unit.
This resort is notorious for how difficult they make the process. I am prepared to have a few failures until we get success. Our ideal unit is every other year floating with a guaranteed ocean view.
But to open up the number of listings I can look at, I need a few more details.
1) If I purchase a fixed winter week am I allowed to exchange it for a summer week (if inventory available)? Never allowed? Difficult or easy?
2) if I purchase a winter floating... same question, can I swap for summer? Never allowed? Difficult or easy?
I am under the impression all the units ' face' the ocean however some of the lower floors will have an obstructed view, facing the back of another building. Is this correct?
Does anyone have a map of each building and the orientation of the numerical rooms? I have a map of the resort and building locations... just trying to visualize the orientation and which rooms to avoid accidentally purchasing
Does the resort sell 'ocean view' in buildings B and C? Or is it only building A that has guaranteed ocean view?
I am not really interested in building D because of elderly in laws and mobility. That building will require driving family members up and down to have access to the rest of the resort. But I might have to make it work depending on how this all goes.
Finally the resort is very difficult in the buying process (for resale), but once you are an owner how has it been? Are they hospitable? Do you feel taken care of by the staff? Difficult to set up reservations?
Their online presence seems to suck. It just had pics of renovations and updates about when reopening after the hurricane and after Covid. I didn't see an owner portal to book online or to get owner info.
Anyone that has something to offer, I would appreciate it!
