Re: Diamond Resorts reduces owner benefits again!

We owned points at Ka'anapali Beach Resort until 2010 when we were talked into changing our points into the Hawaii Trust (and to purchase more). We were told that this would lower our annual dues as the expenses would be spread over a greater group of owners. This was very emphatically explained to us by both the salesperson that we had known for over 5 years and the Sales Manager. We were also told another untruth, but that does not involve this issue. If this water intrusion issue has been been around for years, as confirmed by the Diamond letter I received with my invoice, the potential assessment should have been disclosed. If a possible outstanding assessment isn't disclosed in AZ real estate, it is fraud. Are there any other owners out there in the same situation? We don't own at Poipu and have never even been there. Obviously we wouldn't have purchased into the trust if we knew that an assessment greater than our dues would need to be paid within a year.
