Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System

Yes if I owned a condo I would pay maintenance fees. With Marriott I pay maintenance fees and Marriott also rents out the same timeshare condos while I am at the resort. I asked our Marriott Aruba Ocean Club Board for a breakdown of the rental maintenance cost and the maintenance cost applied to the timeshare owners. There is a "Commercial Units B-Members"' section of the budget but Marriott chat nor the Marriott Board of Directors have come back to me explaining this section. A Marriott Aruba Ocean Club timeshare owner gets a once per week free "tidy' cleanup and a renter receives a cleanup every day. Timeshare owners get a budget that includes repairs, utilities , possible assessments and a renter just pays the per day rental charge.
