T.O.C. - Timeshare Owners Community

Most consumers who are visitors to the Atlantis have been aggressively pursued by the timeshare sales personnel retained by the Starwood/Kerzner joint venture.  As you walk thru the lobbies of the Royal, Coral or Beach towers, the consumer will be approached by these timeshare sales people.  What these timeshare specialists don't tell you is that once you purchase this timeshare you will have a difficult time with making the reservation or enforcing your contractual rights for the unit you thought you purchased.   The Harborside at the Atlantis timeshare is a joint venture owned and managed by two entities located in the State of Florida - Starwood hotels and Kerzner International (the owner of the monolithic Atlantis resort).   Since this timeshare is run by two very reputable names in the travel service industry, a potential purchaser may feel that is sufficient due diligence in order to make the purchase. 

 I am an original purchaser of a timeshare at Harborside and purchased it from a drawing in December 2000 from Kevin Christie, the brother of the former Prime Minister of the Bahamas.   The Starwood/Kerzner joint venture has become an ever-expanding empire that includes erecting more and more buildings to sell to Atlantis vacationers or any other unsuspecting vacationer that tours the Atlantis property.
