Last year Club Navigo (Island One) was purchased by DRI. We owned one week at Grand Seas Resort that was converted to Club Navigo points; so we were then DRI points owners. Grand Seas is not a DRI resort, though, because it withdrew from Club Navigo sometime before the change in ownership.
DRI was not able to tell us what the new (2014) membership fees were until now (May 1, 2014). I just checked the account today and it tells me the 2014 membership fee for our week is $349. This is increased from the $149 we paid in 2013.
Now back in February 2014 we deeded our week back to Grand Seas Resort. The public record still does not reflect this change out of our names. I check daily and Grand Seas legal department tells us it will take 90 days which will pass May 19th.
I was concerned that the fees would increase with the change to DRI and it seems they have more than doubled. In hindsight, converting our floating week to points was the worse decision we could have made. I will let everyone know just as soon as I find that our names are off the deed in the public record. That is the only way we can be completely free from the fees.
