Not paying Maintenance Fees!

[isilwath]

If you add in property taxes of about $500, the cost to Hono Koa, oceanfront Koa annual week is $3,258. Westin Ka'anapali is $3,431 for a 2 bedroom lockoff unit. Something is rotten here.

As for the RCI bargains on weeks at Hono Koa, these units cannot compare in size or view to the Koa oceanfront units. If a renter gets a Koa unit and not a Palm or Hala unit, Soleil should rethink who gets any Koa units that would otherwise sit empty. Maybe a Hala or Palm owner would like to stay in the nicer unit for the $3,000 they are paying for a week.

It's like Soleil is trying to get rid of us. No explanation about the fees.

Have you asked about deedback? I think that will be our next move. I wrote a letter to Soleil, attention to the person who runs the Hawaii resorts, and I received no response.

Yes it's a Koa unit, so yeah, can't compare it to the Palm or Hana units. But whatever.

We'll ask about deed back and I'll report what they say.

I don't know what Soliel is doing or thinking, other than they obviously don't want to work with owners or explain why their MF are so high. I may have another nibble on a transfer of ownership. We'll see.

Do you know that Soleil charges $550 transfer fee?

Yes. I am aware.

I would like to keep one week. We have friends who own one annual week in a Koa unit as well, and they would like to stay two weeks each year, so during our reservation they would stay in the back bedroom, we would stay in the back bedroom during their week. We will see how that works out.

There is such a lack of communication, we are hoping to go into the office at Sands of Kahana and talk to Lani, the "big boss" on Maui. We may make an appointment to see her. We will be at Hono Koa from 2/22-3/8.

Lenders are fairly understanding about timeshare defaults from what I understand.

Not really. Anything derogatory on a credit report are a means to disqualify a loan. A default is very derogatory.
