Re: Diamond Resorts reduces owner benefits again! (by Pamela J.):
With all that is now happening on St Maarten it's time that the Government gets involved. The timeshare owners at Pelican and Flamingo have kept the island going for more than 20 years but it seems that the Government does not care nor about their own people who have lost their jobs. The bad publicity is something that the St Maarten Government should really note well. Its time that the DEVELOPERS/ OWNERS of such properties are investigated. Where do they pay their taxes? Where do they obtain their licences from? For example, the Diamond resorts properties have their 'office' in Las Vegas and the land title in EDINBURGH SCOTLAND. There are no administration not management offices on St Maarten yet part of the m Fees claims for both. The fees have doubled in two years. The manager of Flamingo was JULES JAMES who regularly in the owner's meetings ridiculed and made statements about how bad Pelican was............. Now that same man is the Manager of Pelican...... Perhaps the ability to function as a Manager of Jules James should also be looked into and why he left Diamond to go to Pelican?
