Re: Re: Bel Air Vacation Club (by Hal H.):
Thank you for that update on the condition of the resort. We stopped paying the yearly maintenance fee when we were hit with the demand for the extra "special assessment". We will not pay and will fight the demand if it ever goes to collections. We have rights too and my contract uses the words "unforeseen and unforeseeable" to describe an attempt to force a extra maintenance fee. Also, my contract says we must receive a "detailed report" concerning any special assessment, maintenance fee, or whatever they want to call it. Have not received one.
Our last stay there in 2019 was ok. Not enough chairs around the pool and very crowded but our room had been remodeled and was pretty nice. We were upgraded from a studio to a one bedroom so that was a plus. But for the future and from what you have described, we will never be back, even if they waive the special assessment. We are also members at Paradise Village just down the road and love that resort and just booked 6 weeks in Feb. and March.
Keep us informed how the rest of your trip goes. Take a cab to Megafoods, short ride, for groceries. Hal and Colleen
