Re: Resort management has changed from Southwind to the Colonnade (by Jim C.):

Still owners, too. If a class action moves forward let me know. I was interested in a deedback (which is legally different from a transfer fee even though it results in title transferring to the timeshare property owners). They wanted $2277 for the deedback instead of the $327 for a transfer fee. Talked to a person who is in a business that is supposed to help dispose of a timeshare. As a long time "insider" he referred to the $2277 fee as extortion. At this time I do not plan to pay for a deedback.

The Colonnade HOA annual meeting is Apr. 6. I am currently planning to attend if I can. After I learn more about how that group is run, I may have other ideas, too. If I learn anything of value, I will post it.
