Have friends that bought the pkg.
(bought it in september and were told of all of the perks)
Well, these friends tried to make their plans yesterday to utilize their fixed week (september week) and bonus week. (the aruban gives 3 bonus weeks a yr).
Yes the bonus week is available.
But, bonus weeks only run fri - fri. No exceptions.
Our friend's fixed unit is a sun to sun check in. No Bonus weeks are included for Sat or Sun check ins. So, be forewarned that some of the promises that the sales folks are making, have to be more defined.
Needless to say, our friends were very disappointed.
They feel as if they may have been "taken".
We too are very disappointed as we expected great things from the Aruban.
Aruban is also promising many things.
Will they be able to deliver?
Things that was reaffirmed to us last week while we spoke with the sales manager is that :
sales are great ,
casino guaranteed opening December 2008 ,
room renovations are going at a speedy pace .
We mentioned to the sales manager that we saw no work being done on casino during the 10 days we were on island. His response was that all work is being done "prefabricated" out of aruba and will be shipped in.
I invite all Villa/Aruban owners to post their thoughts/concerns/their issues.
Andrea
