We arrived yesterday at Westin Villas Resort Villas North. We own every other year ocean front villas. We upgraded in 2006 to ocean front and had full ocean front rooms. We were suppose to arrive on Friday, but arrived on Sunday, due to an emergency. I called ahead of time and they assured us that it would not affect our rooms. We have aways had full ocean front rooms with full ocean front views, no condos or villas views. Guess What? We are in a room with part ocean view and part condo view. They are calling it a full open front condo. Un NO, this is NOT a Ocean front view.Oh gusss what, now this entire building is considered ocean front. Seriously people, what a scam. We paid a fortune to upgrade, pay a fortune in maintenance fees every year and for them to tell us this is ocean front, when we have stayed in ocean front is total BS. Plus every year, I am at the computer the day before we can book and book the first week, then the second week the week after the day before we can book and book the second week. In this case, May 12, 2021, and May 26, 2021. When I found my reservation confirmation, it says I booked both weeks on June 9th, 2021.UHm NO, again. I KNOW, one time in the past when my husband messed up his schedule and we had to change our reservations 3 months out and we got a crappy room. I was upset, even thought it was our fault, but the manager was able to move us after a couple days to an ocean front room. So, I have no idea what kind of scam they are trying to pull. on owners now, to suddenly say all of building 8 is ocean front, when it has never been before... And they said, sorry if when you bought. ocean front it was misrepresented to you. I offered to take them over to the sales office and show them the room that's available for showing new clients in order to get them to buy a new time share, and it wasn't on the sides of the building. They said that it's always been this way. Which I know is another lie. Oh, and yesterday, they said a bunch of the ocean front were under renovation, today the manager never mentioned one word about renovation. I know for fact there is some kind of scam going on, from the date of my confirmation of my reservation, to the "new" all of the condos are ocean fronts now. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can legally do anything about this situation. Oh and the front desk people, along with the manager, are the worst I've ever seen. Yesterday, they were really rude, just showing us the view, never saying this is ocean front, I believe because they KNOW it's not REALLY ocean front! The manager, wasn't at all like what we've had in the past either. Maybe it's the new Marriot takeover? It seems like a new "I don't really "Give a sh--" attitude".Any help or advice would be appreciated? People can also email me at dglvtotrvl@aol.com
