Re: excessive maintenance fees (by Lance C.):

I understand your frustration at the costs but comparing a timeshare to a condo is like apples and oranges. Here are a few things to consider. In a condominium, how often is the furniture replaced as compared to a timeshare? How often are the appliances replaced? If an appliance at a timeshare conks out, it is quickly repaired or replaced? If you had that at your condo, your expenses would go up?

What about electricity, cable visions and internet? Those costs are usually included in the maintenance fees but they are not included in the HOA, tax, and insurance.

Do you get weekly maid service at this condo you mention?

I could go on and on but I think you get the point. Comparing a condo to a timeshare for maintenance fees is like apples and oranges.
