Re: Dream Travel Condos anyone? (by Petra B.):

Suitelife expects its 3000 (interesting number; not 2976 or 3012, but 3000). Well, if it were exactly 3000 as stated by Suitelife then the assessment should be $395.68. And what is the Dream Travel Bankruptcy - amount of $582,030 ? If there are weeks that "went bad" and Suitelife had to spend $200k to "fix" them and budgets to need to fix more in the future, namely to the tune of $225k, what does the $582,030 represent? What else did Ms Williams do for Suitelife if not arranging and selling weeks? Perhaps she also provided banking services and absconded with nearly $600k. For heaven's sake, Dream Travel isn't even bankrupt at this state; how can there be losses? If Suitelife spent $200k to "fix" weeks in the past, why was the assessment announced on March 2 ? Was it only on March 1 or 2 that Suitelife spent the $200k or was it that Suitelife first wanted to ensure seamless collection of the "regular" annual assessment fee prior to beginning on 2015? As to Marilyn's pathetic defense for Dream Travel Condos, she obviously did not read this very thread that lists complaints, complaints and more complaints going back to 2007. Suitelife only NOW finds out that the outfit was unreliable and run by the seats of the pants of one woman? So much for due diligence..... And she booked 1000s and 1000s of weeks for Suiteife? Not bloody likely. Why are we expected to replenish the reserve fund? Where did the money that was in it go? It's certainly not reflected in the losses stated in this poor excuse of accounting provided. This entire situation reeks of mismanagement and ineptness. No big deal if there's no price to pay for the principals and existing management. Perhaps if we saw some resignations and some firings and some accountability of this disaster we could, as members, elect new management and perhaps make something of this sorry excuse of a vacation club. Just try to find out how many different companies work out of that palace in Woodbridge; it'll make you head spin. Clubs have come and gone like cars in a paternoster; it takes a while that they are going around and around; only the ownership remains the same. Yes, Mr. A.; that might just be you. As to Italian reference; perhaps it had to do with the daughter's wedding. Someone has to pick up the tab..... Finally, if only 20% of 3000(!) members refuse to pay the $399 the remaining 2400(!) will be assessed ANOTHER US$ 96 to make up the shortfall and this will be repeated until Suitelife itself goes bankrupt; a not so unlikely scenario. So before you send off that cheque, make sure you keep a few spare one for later
