Wow (Wyndham Ocean Walk) posting

[Bcoyle]

We are visiting now and found the following posting all over here:

*random google drive link removed by admin*

I'm hoping it shows up for others, but in essence, it is dated May, 2019 and summarizes a legal suit:
Ocean Walk Resort Condominium Association Vs. Wyndham Vacation Resorts
It then says that Wyndham cannot (basically) hard sell except for the "Common Elements"
I'm no attorney and this confuses me.
1. Why would an individual resort bring suit against the larger corporation? (especially when it would seem it would ultimately financially benefit the individual resort)
2. What does this mean as precedent?
3. What would the "common elements" be?
4. Why would it be so prominently posted all around?

Thanks

There are units that are privately owned at Ocean Walk. My take is that the owners of those units were very unhappy about their guests being harassed to go to the sales presentations and likely lied to. From what I remember Wyndham doesn't control the board at Ocean Walk and the comp!aunts were acted on. There is now a separate check in for the South Tower where the privately owned units are and several prominent signs are posted regarding what you mentioned.

If you Google it the Ocean Walk Association sued Wyndham back in 2008 I think it was. They did this to get the maintenance fees Wyndham collected from owners released so much needed repairs could be made.

They have been fighting forever. Someone on here is much more up on it than me and hopefully can add more content.

I have felt less of it our last few visits (but not at all surprised there is still tension). When towels were out in the workout room and we asked for more it was the other towers responsibility. Same for security. Responsibilities were very well defined (and separated) between the two towers.

We love Ocean Walk but haven't been for a couple years. The remodeling of the entry - the concierge being moved to the 2nd floor sales area - several things that didn't feel great but must have been dictated by the split. I'm glad over all they seem to have figured out how to keep the resort running.

(And I missed the posting of the notice before it was removed so hopefully my comments make sense).

South tower has security cameras on all floors, south tower parking ramps and elevators. North tower doesn't have any security cameras.
