Re: raintree vacation club (by Michael S.):

We bought at the Cabo location and love the service/staff but were sad and we have some concerns with the split from the Westin. Just more money we will spend off-site.

Right now we are at the Birch Bay WA location and it is a joke. Absolutely no services or amenities. First time in my life at any motel, hotel or resort I have had to pay extra for clean sheets or to have the bathroom mopped. Absolutely no amenities, it really is a joke. Only the 2bdrms have an ocean view, otherwise the view is of a tree, smoking area and parking lot and a not-so-well taken care of golf course. I am embarassed RVC is even associated with this location and they called this an equal trade to our Cabo site. We were hit with the special maintenance fee and it was equal to our annual fee, not half.

Greeetings,

It has been several months this thread has heard from the community. Can anyone update us on special assessment fees for Club Regina/RVC owners? Did they finally follow their CEO, Doug Bech's, intentions to end special assessments for 5 or 10 yrs (except for natural disasters)? I'm considering buying into Club Regina via the outstanding resales currently on the market, but will only do this if special assessments are under control for the next few years. Good to see reviews from recent guests are still very positive.

BTW: Most major timeshare companies (Marriott & Diamond) have been applying special assessments/reserve fund collections to maintain or improve property conditions. They often appear simply as increased maintenance fees, but if you review the fine print you should see a significant amount of the totals are often for reserve funds/special assessments.

Appreciate any updates. E. Cordova
