Resort management has changed from Southwind to the Colonnade (by Gary L.):

colonade who took over from southwind sucks , 25 phone calls and have not released my week yet. they have had my vacation request for 2 months , i faxed another one to them last week and still nothing, after telling me they would email my number to me asap one time the owner was busy chasing a tiger in one of his other buildings he owns , do not have my tax statement from them even though i paid it by phone, that was ther first excuse i hadnt, paid it but if i dont recieve it i cant pay it. i believe its time for a lawsuit

Apparently now that the bankruptcy has settled, Southwind Management has dumped this resort and whomever manages the Colonnade has taken over. I just received our MF bill for 2013 and it DOES NOT reflect the amount paid in advance to reserve and deposit our unit with I.I. Now I'll need to call the new resort management and try to get this issue straightened out. It would have been appropriate if the first communication had been something other than an inaccurate bill. I guess it's to much to ask for new management to let owners know a change has taken place. MF's have increased from $283 to $354 for our one bedroom unit. This represents a 25% increase, which is the largest increase in MF's we've seen since we first purchased a timeshare back in 1998. We will be giving this timeshare away once we get the MF situation cleared up.
