what did these stooges know about running a resort? Mr. Trowbridge was paid the sum of approx. $100,000.00 to manage the resort. This didn't work out how TAPRC wanted it to. It seems that board member Bob Ryan and some of the rest were using resort founds to take owners and friends out to dinner on the French side and for trips to the resort. You know, they had to stay on top of everything, not knowing anything about running a resort right? We all know how much that can cost. Read what one of the first TAPRC Board members had to say as his Parting Words - link. Michael Glantz is very diplomaatic in his writings, so read between the line of what he says here. Mike and I went head to head for
year online when TAPRC came to be. We came to an understanding after we sat together at the NY meeting - The Pelican Resort AGM. He and I learned alot from each other. I believe he had lost respect for some of his follow board members at this point. I think you will agree just who they would be in his parting words link - above... Mike pretty much confirmed what i heard from Mr. Trowbridge. Yes I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Trowbridge after he was no longer resort manager. I had a nice talk with him regarding things that had gone on during his time as resort manager, I don't want to go in to detail, but will say they had major tones of corruption / abuse.
Background on Keith W. Trowbridge, Ph.D: is the author of Resort Timesharing: He has been involved in the development and marketing of 35 timeshare, he is known as the godfather of timeshare since being one of the first in this concept. Being such, I believe he didn’t agree with all the excess spending by some TAPRC Board members. Let us note that $100,000,00 is a lot less then we pay RRG now to manage the resort.... $1,000,000.00 - 1 million plus what they make on sales etc:...
The History of the Pelican Resort Club, St.Maarten
The main goal of this site will be to keep owners informed of past and future events of the resort. More sites – links and comments will follow so be sure to check back often. I have tried really hard to be factual on the events posted below. I ask all of you to help keep me straight on these issues below and what issues may follow. In all fairness I had given up on Pelican just after the take over by RRG in the way of the voting rights they are in possession of. I had hoped they would do the right thing and listen to what owners wanted. After ten years we are no better off then we were since first hiring RRG. In my opinion we are heading for another bankruptcy. History is repeating itself if one would only open their eyes to see. Is it greed and or corruption at foot here, I can’t say for sure. Let me ask you this if I may? At the Annual General Meeting of last Dec 2006 with 2 lawyers, accounting firm, RRG, TAPRC and Judy Young present they in fact tried to use the 508 FIP votes of units in default. Had they used any of these same-defaulted on unit votes any prior years? Now that has to make some of you wonder – just who is looking out for us owners? I don’t just make this stuff up. This type of thing has been going on since day 1. Just look up St.Maarten on the U.S. Department of State. They warn of a large number of complaints about misuse of maintenance fees. Is this true, I think we need to find out. Lets all help each other in getting to the truth here.
