Some of my fellow owners at the Lake Tahoe Beach and Ski Club (South Lake Tahoe) are all up in arms about DRI buying up all the units with unpaid taxes. They spread horror stories of the doom to come if DRI takes the resort over.
I'm fairly ambivalent about the whole matter ... I feel that our Board created (and continues to create) a mess by not giving members a clean way to deed back their units. Our current management is VRI, so I'm not sure exactly what would make Diamond a bigger boogie man. The major complaint is that Diamond would jack up our maintenance fees.
So, I guess I'd like to know what others have experienced when Diamond took over one of their resorts. Did maintenance fees jump? Did service go down? Did you lose or gain trading power? Were you ultimately happy or unhappy with the changes?
Thanks for your opinions!
