Re: Negril Beach Club - What's Going on ???
OK, here goes. Beach Club info from an e-mail to some boardies here, a bit edited. Facts plus, where noted, my opinion. There may be some duplication of info I posted earlier although I tried to edit out most of that. I have removed some names & left out some info that was in the e-mail. I feel for Jean who is a wonderful person, an honest business woman, & who operates a great business at NBCC. I would not hesitate to stay w/ her when my timeshares are used. I aready stay there when it's not my TS time, have for years. What follows pertains to the hotel & timeshares, not NBCC. Considering this is what has been going on, NBCC continues to operate professionally & to have many happy repeat customers.
Raz Ofer seems to want to take over the whole property - impossible due to many individual owners - & has been "ruling" the hotel & NIOC by intimidation (my opinion). True, no more TS are being sold but they are honoring those owned as long as the fees are paid in advance. The last year for use is 2017. In addition to renting out TS rooms, Raz also overbooks & then sends guests up to the rat hole Caribbean Sunset Resort in town. Lots of pissed off people when I was there in Feb for a variety of reasons.
Raz Ofer... IMHO he is destroying the property &/or allowing it to go down the tubes. Since he took over he has not paid any Strata fees (think condo fees). He rents his rooms cheap, rents out TS rooms (gets more $$$ that way than having the TS owner pay fees, esp. in high season), then pockets the $$$. I know there is legal action re: Strata fees but the wheels of justice turn slowly. Raz has a cousin who "runs" the hotel/NIOC for him/does his bidding. The property was tiefing current earlier this year (caught in March or April). They had to pay 6 months of owed bills before the power was allowed to be turned on. While that was being resolved, they rented a generator to run the property & that was seized because they weren't paying the bill!!! Don't know how the electric bill was paid. The monthly fees for condo owners have increased drastically as have our TS maintenance fees... all thanks to Raz paying NOTHING!!! Other businesses on the property, as of summer, owe LOTS of $$$ in back rent. Not paying bills seems to be accepted, espec. by Raz since he doesn't pay his either. It's a hot mess.
The no $$$ being put into the property is because of Raz. Help is routinely "on rotation" (laid off), only given 3-4 days of work per week, one housekeeper daily even during high season (usually 3), etc. It sucks for the workers. The property is not kept up because Ofer does NOT care. He only wants the $$$.
