Re: MARRIOTT RIPPING OFF ARUBA OCEAN CLUB OWNERS (by Dennis N.):

This has been one of my concerns as a multiple week Marriott timeshare owner. Are the boards at any of the resorts truly representative of the owners at each resort? It seems to me that one has to be an ex military general, city manager, lawyer, ex corporate CEO or the like to even be considered as a candidate for board membership. I don't feel these people are representative of the majority of owners who are certainly NOT members of the upper class in today's society. Another thing that I have wondered about is whether Marriott pays its fair share of maintenance fees for units in their inventory not yet sold or owned by them for resale? If anyone has any information or comment on these issues I'd be interested in hearing them. I don't own at the Ocean Club but I can certainly sympathise with their situation.
