Is this a Platinum or Gold week? Ours is 2BR platinum lock off unit for which I just paid $1135ish

I don't think it matters. The fee is the same. I think only Florida has a different MF (really the tax line item) for different seasons.

2014 Club Fee 36.30
2014 Operating Fee 656.52
2014 Reserve Fee 233.39
2014 Property Tax Fee 119.41
Total Charges $1045.62

2013 Fees: $997.93 (increase of 4.78%)

Last year's increase was a little over 5%. While some people might think four and five percent increases are okay. The fees have increased almost $100 in two years. IMO that is not something to be happy about.

Especially because the "Board of Directors" expense is increasing 18% from 2013 budget to 2014 budget...I've sent an email asking why, but no response yet.

The increase for the Board of Directors is only six cents. I am not sure that plays a big part. Sure it is an 18% increase, but there are bigger issues at work here causing the increase at Grande Vista.

The biggest cause of the large increase was costs incurred as a direct result of the co-located hotel ceasing to be a Marriott branded hotel. |prior to that change in early 2013, the front desk operation and the maintenance operation was a shared cost with the hotel. As a result of the de-branding of the hotel, a new Front Office operation was established and staffed by the TS resort and a new post of maintenance manager was required as well as some other additional staffing costs.
