Re: Marriott Aruba Surf Club - Lawsuit by Association against owners (by Jim M.):
If there were not a handful of Aruba owners that were freaking out right now, this would strike me as laughable. 9 owners out of 33,000???? How many units are there at the Aruba Surf Club? And, what percentage of the property is owned by Marriott?
It strikes me as very improbably that 9 owners could negatively affect platinum season availability in a resort that big. Has their Board ever defined what "commercial" activity really is?
I'm not an owner in Aruba. Obviously, I don't know most of the facts and I don't know anyone on the Board, but this sounds like the Board is trying to make an example out of some people. They may be opening themselves up to some ugly reprisals. The approach seems ill-advised and I'm betting that Marriott Vacation Club advised against this course of action.
Since the first time I heard about this, it just does not add up.
