Re: Can't even give them one star (by Terri B.):

Karen…..We used to have a one week contract and then got a two week contract and pay fees for BOTH weeks . We pay every bill we receive. Nowhere in our current contract does it say timeshare. It was clear that we bought a finite number of weeks as ‘right to use’ lease agreement. It was important for us to know that since we wanted to use more than one week at a time when we got our first one week contract and we knew that with a one week timeshare we could not do that. We got caught up and screwed royally with Colonial Crossing so don't go there with me on the difference between timeshare and right to use.

As for lawyers....It is my opinion that one particular lawyer saw a golden goose with all the referrals but did he ever really get settlements for anyone? I contacted one years ago and he wanted a big retainer and guaranteed nothing.....no thank you…. and I have never read about a success story with that lawyer. You acted as your own counsel so that speaks volumes. Compensated for my posts? HOW DARE YOU. Not that its any of your business but I did have some posts removed years ago because they were too inflammatory and could have gotten me in legal trouble. I am nobody’s lackey and quite frankly find your accusation quite insulting. I am not happy with the way things are being run at the resort but what can I really do at this point? Since you decided to get personal right back at cha. You and I parted ways because you decided you were the leader of the pack and ran the 'group' like a platoon. You ordered us around and told us when to jump and how high. No one orders me around and having a strong personality like you - we could not co-exist. You strongly supported particular members when they called the owners foul names and barked incessantly about the resort and in the same breath admitted they still paid and went to the resort often, were close friends with the owners, took vacations with them, spent time in the Pres Suite (which I did not even know existed) and had received lots of freebies and had the nerve to wear Land'or tee shirts to meetings...really? My mouth was agape listening to them being hypocrites but held my tongue and yet I was the one you chose and still choose to discredit.

You got a huge settlement but did you ever see the money? I think you got lucky because it was in the early days of all the court cases and the court that 'tried' your case was in your backyard. Nowadays the court is weary of hearing about Land’or. Has anyone you have mentored in this blog since your court case gotten a settlement like yours and if so did they get their money? Land’or counter-sued you but I lost track because it was tedious and bored me and I got tired of seeing your name. You seem to still be basking in your 15 minutes of fame on the internet and in the Bahamian paper as some kind of warrior princess. I find it quite self serving. You have an adoring audience but if they only ‘knew’.

We have been charter members since 1982 and frankly at our ages and health conditions don’t have the means or patience to fight and we can’t afford to go anywhere else on vacation since we pay so much to them . We have started going to the resort every other year and trade domestically and may be trading more if they don’t do more renovations in the one bedroom units. Also traveling down there is increasingly more physically challenging. We have good friends we still plan vacations at the same time and still enjoy ourselves at the resort no matter what we do and that’s what it’s all about. We go thru the uber aggressive sales ‘chase’ every time we are there and even get grabbed off the street and along with friends have gotten very vocal to be left alone. We are good friends with the staff BUT have never gotten one single freebie or perk. We pay for everything ....period. Two years ago we suffered through many days of no power that was only at the resort in a unit that had a terrible sewage smell that they could do nothing about and believe me they tried. Had been moved once already due to my physical needs and were not about to move again so we plugged up the drain opening and dealt with it. Lost lots of food and insulin with the power outage . After a couple of days of no power everyone was given vouchers for dinners since they had power in the restaurant. It was a miserable experience. We used to have a one week contract and then got two week contract and pay mtce fee for BOTH weeks . Nowhere in our newer contract does it say timeshare. It was clear that we bought a finite number of weeks as right to use. It was important to us to know that since we wanted to use more than one week at a time when we bought one week and we knew that with a one week timeshare we could not do that. We got caught up and screwed with Colonial Crossing so don't go there with me on the difference.

You and I parted ways because you ran the 'group' like you were queen of the hill and it was your way or the highway. You strongly supported some of the members even though ths and had received lots of freebies and special deals and even wore Land'or tee shirts to meetings...really? They were total hypocrites but yet you turned on me.. I know you got a huge settlement but did you ever see the money. We have been there since 1982 and frankly have not been brave enough to fight them too hard. We have never gotten freebies at the resort as some that you are very familiar with have. We pay for everything we do there...period.

I find this blog interesting with all the stories people have to tell.. All I was trying to do was to post facts about certain topics to clarify verbiage but you chose to attack me. Happy Now? Please go back to your velvet pillow and preach to your minions and let me be. I have the right to speak up on this blog just like anyone.

Be well and God Bless
