Lynn, I think your response to Carl was not appropriate and not very helpful. If you read my post on another thread, I am in building G and had the most horrendously loud and annoying vacation EVER!!!!!! They working above us, below us and on both sides of us the entire time we were there.

I would LOVE for Carl to get down to the bottom of how this can never happen to us again. I now understand it is a maitenance week that we bought into (unknowingly) . . . but as Hilton doesn't have anything for us to "upgrade" to . . . we are stuck unless we sell this maintenance week to someone else. I am a little more concientous than those that sold it to me . . . I would disclose . . . therefore, I'm sure it won't go quickly.

In the meantime, I wonder what planet YOU are from not having any consideration that owners in September are people to and are entitled to some peace and quiet?

I say maintenance weeks should be alternated between the 3 lowest times of the year . . . not just slamming the owners in September!!

Good for you Carl in staying on top of this!! I would love to understand our options more before we go on vacation next year.

While I can understand how annoying and frustrating it is to have noise from work going on while you are on holiday, there is not really any practical alternative. All resorts have to allocate a certain period in the year where unit weeks are not sold, and deep cleaning is undertaken - or it would never get done. Either the whole resort is closed during that week, or it is phased over a number of weeks. The price for the remaining weeks that have been sold is generally much lower to compensate for the disruption, and buyers knew at the time of purchase what was happening if they chose those weeks. It is very unfortunate that you were not informed by your seller.

This is all written into the deeds, and cannot be changed. The procedure is for the benefit of the resort and the owners as a whole. If it was not done this way, the units would very quickly deteriorate, and we would then be moaning that the resort was going to rack and ruin, instead of having one of the best resorts.

Just a quick note:

Am I to assume the association now has sold our original 56 unit weeks in September that were supposed to stay empty as a block to protect neighboring vacationers?
Perhaps that is the reason for us not getting an answer for what the week and unit numbers are?
I hope that is not so, and if so where did the funds
from the 56 units go? They did belong to our association, who pays the taxes for the 56 units?
I am sure they are not sold, we would have heard about it, and celebrated with more than 1/2 million Dollars brought into our funds?
Perhaps that is a reason for us not being able to obtain our taxation records from Hilton, the taxes for the 56 units should be slit up between our total tax payments paid by each owner.
Our Lee County Tax assessor reaffirms me our percentage splits of total tax collected by Hilton is public domain as part of our tax law. Each owner should know his or her percentage rate for each week of the year.
