Yes Yes!! Thank you so much for the information. We will check in periodically and would certainly be interested in participating in any legal action. I don't really expect to get back the thousands of dollars we have literally thrown away, but maybe it will prevent them from being able to take advantage of anyone else and also to preserve the reptutation of the island.

Sounds like the system may be working to benefit employees and condo owners. This is a positive outcome and hopefully continues so that the long term benefits the island as well. As for Time Share Owners, this is positive as well. We want the resort to flourish so that we too have reason to return and spend our time and money in what we believe is paradise.

As TS Owners, we have made payments and provided we are assured our money is being used as agreed, are willing to continue the maintenance dues. Where the past funds have gone, we are unsure. However, it is a benefit to all for our continued contributions of which assist in defraying RV maintenance costs. Our participation at the resort also means we use the restaurant, visit the bar, enjoy the retail store, and help to build a healthy and thriving place for all. Our business is an integral part of working together with Owners to turning this into an opportunity that we all learn and gain from.

It appears that what Owners are taking positive steps to begin a process we may have an opportunity to participate in and I support whatever both Owners and TS Owners can do as individuals or in unison. We just need to keep the information coming so we can benefit one another.

Keep up the good work!

Well SandDiver, that is a really good point you make. Hadn't really thouht about it that way. We have been focused on not handing over any more money, but now I'm not so sure...... But again, not without some type of "real" assurance.

To SandDiver,

from your post it sounds like you are a Piercenista, either that or yo don't have a clue what is going on. Pierce has been stealing money from both the owners and the timeshare people and using it for his own purpose. Very little of any money has gone back into the resort which is why the owners have filed a lawsuit against him and all of the bills have gone unpaid. The next time you have contact with anyone there ask them where they are going to house the timeshare owners????? Most owners have pulled their units from the rental program for non payment and in spite of what you may have been told THERE ARE NO TIMESHARE BUILDINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are one of the very few timeshare owners that is contributing to Jeff Pierce's retirment fund. All that being said I am glad you have enjoyed your stay at Reef Village

Just an FYI...my husband and I just moved to AC a week and a half ago, and we walk into town from up north every day since our bicycles are not yet here. We did notice some actual construction in a new building at RV (to the left of "Building 1") this week. We know nothing about RV or all the internal issues reported in this thread, but I did want to pass this along to RV folks in case it helps in any way.

Cheers,
Emily

Disgruntled Owner,
I think you have misinterpreted my message. I TOTALLY support the Condo Owners and DO sympathize with the condo owners! I would be doing the same thing you are doing. All I'm saying is that we as TS Owners are (speaking for myself) more than happy to pay the Owners (as it should be) to help support Reef Village with annual dues in exchange for use. In return, this will help financially both the resort and the owners. The condo Owners need to go after JP for the obiligations he failed to make good on. We (TS Owners) lived up to our part of the bargain and we will do as necessary to protect our investment (no different than conco owners). I just want to find a way to benefit both types of owners and the island. Are you as an owner telling us that timeshare owners are not welcome by condo owners? Or, did I misunderstand your message?

Hi SandDiver,

let me give you a quick history and perhaps that may clear some things up. First the timeshare people have all been good people and have been mislead by Jeff Pierce. When we all bought in to Reef Village THERE WERE NO TIMESHARES.About 2-3 years after the project started Piece decided to sell timeshares but there were NO TIMESHARE BUILDINGS. Per Belize strata law timeshare owners cannot be housed in the general owners condo's. Later Pierce redesignated the last 2 buildings (the ones next to the school) as timeshare buildings. However, those buildings were never built and he has been trying to sell that land for a casino ( which was never on the plans)In the meantime Pierce housed timeshare owners in units that the owners had placed in the rental pool. When he did not have enough units he would STEAL units ( use owners units without their knowledge or compensation) After failing to pay te owners in the rental pool for the use of their units most of them pulled their units out of the rental pool and changed the locks. So as you can see there are NO TIMESARE UNITS and very few of the owners are willing to have anything to do with Pierce. Because of Pierces past abuses when owners find someone in their units without their knowledge or permission the police are automtically notified and whoever is in the unit will be arrested or immediately escorted out of the unit. It is unfortunate and unfair as most of these people are naware of what is going on but the owners are going to put a stop to having their units "stolen"! Also when this happens Pierce doesn't even have the courtesy to pay the utility bills. Owner are notified that they owe hundreds of dollars in utilities when there was not suppose to be anyone in their units.

Just so you understand when you pay whatever fees you pay for your timeshares that money goes directly to Jeff Pierce and neither the owners or the HOMEOWNERS CORPORATION sees a penny of those fees, All of that money just goes to line Pierces pockets.

It is not that you are not welcome it just that we owners didn't know you were coming and there is no place for you!! I hope you understand that this isn't meant to be malicious just to give back ground on what is happening with owners and timeshare owners. With all that being said I hope you are enjoying your time in paradise as it truly is.
