The Positives I See Aren't Positive Enough To Pay Big Bux To Get.
I could be in a tiny minority on that point. That is, I'm sure there are plenty of savvy timeshare people out there -- savvier than I am -- who paid the money to join & are fully satisfied that they have received value for their money. More power to them. Some people like coffee & others go for tea. Shux, some people prefer drinking plain water. None of those preferences involve putting down other people's choices, although the other people can feel free to dump on mine if they want.
Both CP1 & CP2, BTW, are managed by VRI under contracts with the 2 separate independent, owner-controlled HOA-BODs. Last year I was a Phase 2 HOA-BOD candidate myself -- got soundly thrashed in the voting & proxy counting. (Probably just as well, eh?)
There used to be prominent & substantial SunTerra signs at the Cypress Pointe entrances. I don't remember noticing whether those had been replaced by Diamond signs.
It's not so much that I don't see anything positive. It's more the case that I don't see anything positive enough to be worth paying big bux to get, & that's why I'm not a member.Yes, you have that wrong. You appear/claim toi own at both CPs, at CP1 you are a VRI owner and at CP2 you are a DRI owner, you can consider yourself anything you want, but that's who manages the resort(s) and that's who you are therefore an owner with. You can put down Club Sunterra and THE Club all you want, it has it's pros and cons, because you aren't a member you only see cons.
