We just got our statement after calling Celebrity Resorts. Note that in the paperwork they also state "The Board chose to fund $0 in the 2009 annual assessment in lieu of a pending special assessment." Sounds like more fees may be forthcoming.

What's happening with Celebrity Waikiki

Does anyone know what is happening with Celebrity Waikiki after the lease is up this year? Is the lease being extended and are owners being given the option of renewing their RTU?

Mimi: I hear you! We have been forking out $5000/yr for our Whaler -- both major repairs and renovations besides increasing taxes and fees. On top of that one we have six other weeks. Getting tough on us retirees for sure

Pono Kai: $647.28
Kahana Beach Resort: $523.00 for EOY

When we first started looking into purchasing a timeshare in Hawaii, obligated maintenance fees were a major factor in where we would purchase and how much money we would have to pay each year. We love to be oceanfront and have some nice amenities but not pay for extras such as a slidedown pool and beautiful landscape. This year we will be paying an average of $84.00 a night for our trip to Maui & Kauai. There is something magical about falling to sleep hearing the waves splash against the beach.

Response to Michaels note of 1/08/09

Celebrity Resorts White Sands Waikiki is having some major problems with bad debt. They are not taking reservations past April 30, 2009 and they have threatened the RTU members with collection fees plus interest on a special assessment to cover projected deficits and bad debt and severance pay for employees.
They say they may close early whether or not you pay so there is little incentive to pay. As a mater of fact if you have already paid your annual dues of $775 you will probably lose that too.
They do not respond to inquiries. Not agood company to deal with. Black-what
