Sheraton Broadway Plantation:
2 bedroom Plantation phase: $1063.50
2 bedroom lockoff Plantation phase: $1,330.78
1 bedroom small Plantation phase: $471.83
1 bedroom premium Plantation phase: $858.95

2 bedroom Palmetto phase: $913.41
2 bedroom lockoff Palmetto phase: $1,204.73
1 bedroom premium Palmetto phase: $710.97

Be sure to subtract the $5.00 ARDA fee before paying. Vistana puts it in as part of the total. You will see it under your details. I don't pay it, not even on one week. I don't see a balance left of $5.00 owed after subtracting it, so that's good. They used to show $5.00 unpaid. That was annoying.

Fees are up about $50-$63 per week over last year for Plantation phase. I don't own much in Palmetto, own a lot in Plantation.

Why is there such a premium on the Plantation phase weeks? Aren't all the villas about the same size and configuration? I guess the pools could be attributed to just one of the phases, but I would expect the other phase to kick in and pay a common assessment for those shared amenities?

Inevitably a TUGger will ask a question about maintenance fees or try to do a comparison. It would be beneficial if you also post this information in the maintenance fee database. Thanks! http://eternaltides.com/svn/svnhome.aspx

WSJ-VGV maintenance fee line from the proposed budget for 2022

Studio - $1,881.19
1 BR - $2,508.31
2 BR - $3,125.48
2 BR Premium - $3,762.38
3 BR Pool Villa - $3,762.64
3 BR Premium (?) - $3,762.64

There is also a Total Maintenance Fee Revenue line that includes other sources of income like late fees, surplus return, interest income, etc., that is higher. The maintenance fee line is the one that matched the maintenance fees billed last year.

I think Palmetto is ready for an update, to be honest. I would bet fees will match Plantation at some point.

Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas North

2-Bedroom Lock-Off Oceanfront
Assessments for the Master Association, Apartment Owners Association and Vacation Ownership total $2,803.16
This represents a 2.4% increase over the 2021 assessments of $2,727.96

Maintenance Fee billing is dated November 8, 2021 and is due January 4, 2022.

In past years the budget analysis showed all three association expenses but this year the Ocean Resort Master Association was broken out separately.

2022 Apartment Owners Assessment: $721.89
2022 Vacation Ownership Assessment: $2412.77

2br Lockoff (Every Year)
Maintenance Fees: $1861.00
Taxes: $132.79

Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas

2br Lockoff Villa (Ocean View)
2022 Master Association Assessment $256.40
2022 Apartment Owners Assessment $523.86
2022 Vacation Ownership Assessment $1750.88
2022 Total: $2531.14 (does not include VSN fee of $161.46.)

This is about a 3.5% increase from 2021. Since inflation this year has been something like 6.2%, you could argue that maintenance fees went down in their inflation-adjusted cost. I fear that next year will see larger increases.
