Re: Is Montecristo Estates sold out & what Pueblo Bonito was selling the last units for (by Roelof B.):
A few comments: You have a very attractive maintenance fee deal. We purchased 2 weeks of Villa 14 in 2005 when it was still under construction and our fees are a lot higher.
You and other owners seem to be bitter over the sales staff. Can anyone blame them for painting the most positive picture, isn't that their job? We too, had expected a better return on our investment and more rentals, but so be it. If anyone is to blame it is the purchaser. So far, we have enjoyed our stays and put the monetary issues to the side. We believe in the future of Monte Cristo as manifested by purchasing additional weeks in another villa (63).
One last comment: it is unfortunate that some owners list rental rates and purchase prices so low that they can undermine the exclusiveness of the resort. More on this subject in a separate memo
