Dear Editor,
Well wishes and upon receipt of this email may all be well with you and yours. Unfortunately, due to the Caravanserai Resort debacle, my wife and I no longer make a yearly and sometimes twice-yearly vacation on the beautiful island of St. Maarten. My wife had even put away all items purchased on the island, including Christmas decorations in order to not be reminded of the thousands of dollars lost in our timeshare.
Why has consumer protection not been enacted so that others don’t face this problem in the future? The loss of restaurants, car rentals and other merchants and tourist attractions will be greatly affected by this lack of will in government action. It may be too late for us, but it’s a black eye on the island and the word is spreading.
Here is hoping that 2016 will bring the reform that is needed to protect time-share owners.
H. Hernandez
