Traveler: those are the email addresses I copied down from the meetings four and three weeks ago (has it really been that long?). Chris LaLetin is the operations manager for Marriott at Kauai Beach (Marriott manages both the hotel for its owner and the Villas for the VOA). Art Gillespie is the chairman of the VOA board of directors, so he is the "lead" representative of the villa owners. Chris was GREAT - direct, transparent, responsive - during the meetings I attended. I was assured that Marriott has very good people taking care of the properties for us.

Thanks for your response. Don't you think Chris made a lot of sense? and we finally felt we had answers that satisfied us. I think, again, the lack of communication is a large factor in the mistrust. It is hard to understand through a letter the same material that is presented in person though. I felt Chris was very "authentic' and presented the facts with a lot of sensitivity to those in attendance. If everyone could experience this Q&A opportunity I think that the feeling of integrity of the program would be regained. I know our confidence has returned.
