Royal Oasis timeshare owners take legal action

Timeshare owners at the closed Royal Oasis filed a class action suit against the resort owner in a Florida Federal Court on four counts, including breach of contract.

The petition has been at least six months in the making and names Sunrise Properties Limited, Driftwood Freeport Limited and Driftwood Hospitality Management, LLC. as the defendants.

The owners say they have essentially been excommunicated from the resort since November 2004 and are fed up as their attempts to reach the resort have gone unreturned.

The Crowne Plaza Golf Resort and Casino at the Royal Oasis suffered two hurricanes in September 2004 and closed down.

In a November 4, 2004 letter, timeshare owners learned that the resort had anticipated re-opening the vacation club on June 1, 2005, but that never materialized.

Some owners were also informed that there was a hold on their timeshare points.

Desperate for answers, after not hearing anything for several weeks despite countless calls, e-mails and letters, timeshare owners reached out to this daily, The Bahamas government officials and even Prime Minister Christie

Heading the list of plaintiffs which includes hundreds of other timeshare owners in the suit is timeshare owner Robert Snee of Massachusetts.

The 13-page legal document lists the four counts as breach of contract, breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment and for a declaration of Snee and the class' ownership rights and interests in their timeshare units.

The Royal Oasis property includes a casino, country club and tower and is the second largest resort on the island.

Government is seeking out a buyer for the defunct resort and, at last report, there were two.

...what happens when resorts go bust...hmmm

Timeshare in a Private Jet

By McGregor McCance.

Meanwhile, business continues to flourish on the general aviation side of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport. Here, Landmark Aviation provides ground services for private and corporate aircraft through a long-term contract with the airport.

That includes selling fuel, providing hangar space, aircraft maintenance and other services.

General Manager John Whitmer said Landmark Aviation opened a new hangar about two years ago, but he already sees a need to plan for more.

As Whitmer talked about operations, a steamroller inched by his office, rattling windows and furniture. Crews are rehabilitating and expanding the general aviation parking apron.

Two years ago, 46 private aircraft took off in 20 minutes after the Hurricanes blew out of town. Some 85 total flew out of the airport’s general aviation wing that afternoon and the next morning.“

It’s like stacking firewood,” Whitmer recalled. “We had our guys use lighted wands and we created our own taxiway. Knock on wood, everything went well.”

The popularity of “fractional” aircraft ownership is increasing as well. That means multiple owners buy the right to use a private jet, almost like a timeshare.

On the horizon, the arrival of a new class of aircraft called VLJs - very light jets - could create a niche that would add to demand for general aviation services. The jets are capable of landing on the shorter runways that are common at many smaller airports.
