Re: Diamond Resorts reduces owner benefits again! (by Robert M.):
Maintenance fees (MF) do go up,just like the cost of living. However, I was just on Kauai two weeks ago and stayed in one of Marriott Waiohai 2 bedroom condominium units. Their annual MFs are only $80 more than Point at Poipu. Seems like the Point's MFs are comparatively expensive, given the 4 star Marriott vs 3 star Point property values. My point is that excessive MFs drive down the timeshare resale values, and Diamond doesn't have much in the way of site improvements to show for the high fees they have been collecting from us.
