Re: the manhattan club (by Rich W.):
We have the 1 week gold plan which includes 1 weekend per year. When we tried to book, there were no weekend rooms available despite the fact that we are entitled to 1 weekend. We could not book any consecutive week days either and certainly none on the days that we requested. All in all, there was no way to get our 7 days at any time during the year as Manhattan Club stated that all but 6 dates were used up. Rooms were available to the public on booking.com for the dates that we wanted yet these rooms were not available to us (owners). This was not the way it was presented to us in the original offering. We are also very anxious to pursue a class action suit as the maintenance is exhorbitant and rooms are not available.

The developer, who is also Chairman of the Board of the Homeowner's Association forever or until he voluntarily gives it up, has not been willing to share this info. I attended a HOA meeting in August of 2006 and it was a complete waste of time. If we could communicate with each other (there are over 13,000 owners) we could have some power. Everyone I have spoken to feels that we are getting ripped off. How come I can get time in the MC through EXPEDIA and I can't through reservations? Anyway keep me posted. JonathanI am seriously considering pursuing a class action against the Manhattan Club for what appears to be fradulent business practices. I own 3 weeks of timeshare at MC and have had some of the same experiences many of you have had. If you would like to contact me I can be reached at Docdefender@hotmail.com.
