oh my goodness.....this really just sucks. Like the timeshares, conditions in each condo can be very different. Each condo owner is responsible for the furnishings and upkeep of their units. I know that Jean has encouraged the owners to update their units and some have been updated and others are in desperate repair. Jean and staff do a good job of making sure the unit is cleaned and the comforts of home are available. There are some condo units that are really nice and it's because the owner of that unit has put the money into it. For the timeshare units, unless the person staying in the unit says something then it doesn't get repaired or replaced so it differs from unit to unit.

I heard about that directive and actually lots of staff were sent home including staff that has been there for close to 20 years. The staff that remained are working without wages with no promise of when they will get paid. For those that have gotten paid, it is not their full paycheck. Staff are scared that one day, they will come and the place will be locked up.....this is also one of my fears as a condo guest. There is still security on property but it is only from 3pm to 7am. The other staff have stepped up and I still felt very safe on my last visit in November despite the change.

I just can't understand what Ofer is trying to do with the property. When I met him, he said he was trying to turn the place into Nikki Beach (in Miami). If this is the case then why is he not paying his Strata fees?
