Re: Diamond Resorts enormously increases the cost of Maintenance/Reserves on their resorts. (by David L.):
John, If you had been with Diamond, you probably wouldn't have gotten out! We own with DRI and also a development which is run by the board of directors through a manager whom they hired and a staff which is directed by the manager. It is a COMPLETELY different world. The operation exists to provide service and comfort to a self-sufficient resort and its clientele, NOT to create enormous profits for a management company intent on crushing customers under their boots. Time share isn't bad. Greedy management companies give it a bad name.
