Oh no - they may see that

Good point!

Based on Diamond's current reputation- it is possible they could pass the costs to the resort owners.

This could be a brand new concept for resort management... Charging a special assessment to provide compensation for a prior special assessment.. The possibilities are virtually endless! Has Starwood thought of this yet!

Anything that is "free" at a timeshare, unless paid by sales, comes out of the owners pockets. It's called maintenance fee and its the only income a resort has (with maybe a few small streams from rental of services/space - but the majority is in straight fees from owner). There is no such thing as free at a timeshare and if one owner gets it they ALL should get it. Maintenance has to happen at some time and when it does someone is going to be inconvenienced. That's a shame but it isn't a reason other owners should have to pay them. Deal with it. In some cases whole resorts have been shutdown and fees still due. Such is ownership at a condo/timeshare development.

And don't give management any ideas for more special assessment excuses!

That is a shame for those who have their vacation booked for the outage times. I love the ocean and swim in it daily when I have vacationed to Hawaii. But, not having access to a pool on your vacation stinks. I have small children that spends endless hours in the pool. That would be a vacation killer for my family. To be honest I was considering the KBC but having stayed at The Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas just up the road in 2006 I feel it would be a big dissappoinment and a major step backwards.
