I'm just curious to know if anyone is selling their Aruba Ocean Club week due to the increased maintenance fees and/or special assessment?
We are. We were prepared for for a $500 special assessment in June 2009 & July 2009, but not in January 2009 along with a 30% maintenance fee increase. Fees are never going to go down so it's only going to get worse in future years. We've never gone in winter so we'll probably end up better off renting. We've owned our unit long enough to be happy with the 60% Marriott will give us for listing with them. Hopefully it'll sell in 2009.
ETA: Yes, what Dave said.
