Negril Beach Club - What's Going on ???

[lee]

I e-mailed in June asking to use my timeshare in August and received a reply back that the hotel/timeshare was fully booked the entire month of July and August. Upon arrival I paid a visit to the hotel daily and never saw more than 10-12 people on the property. I asked at the front desk and the staff acknowledged they were no were near booked and had no explanation as to why I was told this. I have since arrived home and found the e-mail received in June, and forwarded it to the e-mail address of years and have yet to receive a response or a reply to a new request for March 2013. Does anyone know what's going on?

Not sure what is going on with the timeshares but Yvonne would probably have a good idea. I know that RCI stopped exchanging with them awhile ago and they are also no longer selling timeshares.

Are you emailing Daune McNeil at negrilinterval@cwjamaica.com? Here's the number 876-957-9105

Daune left NBC about a year ago, last time I received a response in June was from Nadine ( Alicia also answered at times prior to that). The Timeshare office is abandoned and their new location is behind the front desk. I heard that they no longer deal with RCI from another guest on the beach when I was there Aug 19-28th. I paid my condo fees on time for years and they actually owe me a week now from RED time in March 2012 I did not use. I don't hold much hope for a phone responsiveness when I showed up in person and got blank stares.

I was there first week in August and did notice the timeshare office was closed but didn't realize they moved behind the hotel front desk. I thought they were just closed for that moment.

Did you have a membership with RCI with Negril Beach Club listed? Even though I never exchanged my week through RCI, it was still listed and it was RCI who notified me about the severed relationship but no explanation why.

I hope this is resolved soon for you.

No time to respond now but will get back tomorrow. I have some answers, probably not all though.

Yes, the timeshare space is empty no furniture at all, only the familiar timeshare board remained. I did not belong to RCI and like you never wanted to trade which is why I bought RED time. Both ladies came from the room to the left behind the front desk, I know both of them well they knew my name but not I did not know their names ( my bad) . I do believe one was the manager of the hotel, the other may have been involved in the time share. Both looked at me when I asked what was going on,then looked at each other and looked away. The body language was telltale. Yvonne ( not sure her relationship to all of this) . posted but will try to explain in a pending post she said she'd make today.

I did see that timeshare board but never peeked in the office. The manager of the hotel is in place while Raz Ofer is off the island.

Yvonne is also a timeshare owner and has a bunch of weeks so she is probably well aware of what is going on. It's a shame this is happening. I wonder if reaching out to Jean Gaynair, condo manager and not affiliated with the timeshares but she might be able to shed some light of what is going on or try to help with your March reservation.

Id be intrested in what's going on as well.. My time there is not until Feb (week 7) and it is the last year of the timeshare contract. I know there are issues with the new owner Raz Ofer.. the links below are old but true enough. Last yea people were showing up only to have there time share rented out by the hotel, others that booked with the hotel only to arrive and have no room and bused down to Chuckles in town.

Thank you, Rob. Raz is still a major player when it comes to what is going on at the Beach Club, just in different ways. I prefer not to post on the board - also busy as heck - so would prefer to answer via e-mail. Please e-mail me directly, not via PM... too techie for me. You will NOT get a response there these days. My life is already complicated enough which is why I seldom post. It may take a few days but bear w/ me. I'm not really retired in my retirement. ykreedfla@aol.com Thank you. Your patience is appreciated.
