Re: Resort management has changed from Southwind to the Colonnade (by Debra K.):
We are TS owners and were just there last week. We talked to Mandi, new GM who admitted they "temporarily" lost their affiliation with RCI and Interval International last fall due to deteriorating conditions at resort. This remains the current status with no expected timeline for renewal with RCI or Interval International. THey said they are still working to repair those contracts. We own a 3 bedroom at the Grand Regency but stayed at the Colonnade. Both were absolutely horrible and disgusting. As noted above, they will try to get you to pay the deed-back fees of >$2,000 if you want to dump your timeshare. There must be an opportunity here to file a class-action lawsuit as they have clearly not maintained the resort conditions with our "maintenance" and "special assessment" fees as promised. If anyone is aware of how we can join forces to figh this, we are all ears!!
