Hi - Original poster here. We've been every year since I originally posted. The units have been undergoing an upgrade over the last year or so (I'm not sure if all of the buildings are done, but the one we stay in is.) They've updated the furniture, the flooring, lamps, wallhangings, etc. The only thing left is some of the appliances. As far as the availability, we're in the habit of booking a year out. Since we are owners, we can book 14 months in advance (so we normally do). We always get our choice, but that's obviously because we do it so far ahead. I'm not sure how it would be if it were on a shorter time frame. Maintenance fees are separate and assessed at the beginning of the year. They have crept up quite a bit (hurricane and water damage insurance I'm told.) They run around $1200 a year now (for the every year units) - much steeper than when we first bought.
