I also owned a resort that was part of a small group. Diamond took over and yes the maintenance fees have gone up. You will still have access to all the resorts that you had available in the past. If you wish to become a full Diamond owner and have access to all the resorts they have (approx. 275 worldwide) you will have to spend approx. $3000 and of course get more points per year to pay maintenance on but then can travel to any of their resorts. also as a complete diamond member you have free GOLD membership in II every year. I think in the long run you are lucky to have Diamond as the new owner over some of the others out there.
