The maintenance fees are now $371 per quarter, $1484 per year. Try to get a reservation on the date you want is quote "sold out." This does not factor in airline fees, meals, or rental cars. The places are now old and not maintained properly. The fees started at $98 per quarter in 1994 to present fees of $371/quarter. You get one week 155 point or two weeks...

Now that Diamond Resort has taken over, they DO NOT honor the same point system that was offered by Monarch? I started with the lowest points, and I "wanted" to progress through each level until I reached the highest level. Now I CAN NOT; I am stuck at the lowest level. Diamond Resort sucks, and I cam COMPLETELY dissatisfied that I have this time share now. The way...

We as owners of 2 weeks of timeshare time at Monarch Owners Association vehemently object to the constant increases in our association dues. When will it stop? We are objecting to the new increase and will like not to see any further increase in our dues. Close to $1200 per year for association dues is obscene. Please all owners, let's stop the increases to our dues. We...

Monarch GV added a $50 quarterly fee for something that is non-manditory. Problem is, if you do NOT want this service, you HAVE TO CALL them instead of doing online (though the letter I received said it CAN be done online. Their website said you must call, so even they are confused. This means being put on hold and transferred to different departments. I NEVER signed up for this service and...

I have not used my timeshare in several years, The resort has not lived upto its obligation in keeping a clean resort, clean rooms. I have find it extremely hard to pay the monthly fee for a place that smells like a stinky cheap motel. The HOA fees go to what, it sure isn't the up keep, And now they have been bought by Diamond Resort in which we now have to pay for the merge...

can not get Board of Directors(who do they work for) to let us out of timeshare, fees up points only every two years, where does our fees really go. Are we giving cost of living hikes to the Board, as we get furloughs from our jobs. No recourse for us but to keep paying what ever is dictated by Board. when is enough, enough. Can not give it away, can not give it back....

We have been with Monarch for nearly 12 years now. Thought is was a good thing to have at the time. We have 800 points. Assesments started out in the $500's. Kept going up every year. Last quarter was $850 and with no notice the assesments went up again almost a hundred dollars. Anyone out there who is thinking of buying into a timeshare, BEWARE! They don't care what...

1) Disappointed customer service! They won't listen to your situation. 2) It is hard to book vacations with them. You will be just put on the waiting list, and just never heard back from them. 3) If you try to sell the ownership, good luck with that. it worth nothing now. Very bad resell value. 4) Expensive maintenance fee you have to pay each quarter, even if you...
