Re: Bel Air Vacation Club (by Carol M.):

We also own a timeshare with BelAir, formerly Playa Del Sol. We also received the "special assessment fee." We also refuse to pay it.

We last traded our week at Nueva Vallert with DAE two years ago. This year, DAE informed us they are NOT accepting any trades with the Bel Air Group..

We have previously traded the property, but never returned since we purchased. We feel the cheapest, safest and easiest solution now is to simply give it up, pay nothing more and consider it a sad lesson in timeshare management.

We can travel much more reasonably via air B&B, Home Away, Red Week. and other sites which are much more responsible and financially appropriate.No wonder people are not buying timeshares any more.

So, unless something happens (ie. Bel Air backs down, a class action law suit, etc.) we're done with this disreputable company.
