We received the below note from a member who just returned from The Atrium Resort in St. Maarten. It appears the resort is tacking on use fees, which is common in the Caribbean, but was unknown to us up until now. It seems they had a great time anyway.
“Hi Carla, I’m back from St Maarten had a wonderful time. I just wanted to give you a heads up. The Atrium is charging time-share exchanges $113.00 for the week per couple. This is broken down to $42.00 Utility fees, $21.00 Environmental Fee, and $50.00 time-share tax. It’s not a big deal to me. I’ve been traveling in the Caribbean for several years and I’m use to this treatment. You may want to post or make sure everyone else who is transferring their time to the Atrium is aware of these charges. It’s a bit more than the $40.00 house keeping fee Inn Season is charging it’s owners. Once again we had an excellent time and if this option is available next year we’d probably do it again. I attached a picture for you of the Attrium’s beach. Thanks “
I’m pleased to announce that we’ve upgraded the telephone system in the InnSeason’s Owner Services department to the latest in communication software. Created and designed by Noble Systems of Atlanta, the system now allows us to handle and track calls much more efficiently. If you call us from a telephone number that we already have on file, your account information will pop onto the screen for the agents to see!
How does this help you, our members? We will now be better able to schedule and staff for peak call periods, calls will be answered sooner and will take less time. And, best of all, we can now transfer you to Interval International. We no longer have to ask you to call them; with the touch of a button we’ll whisk you off to the Interval offices.
I do want to thank those members that called this week for their patience. We were installing the system and naturally had some hiccups. Early on we couldn’t transfer callers from one person to another. More than once I simply put on someone’s headset to speak with an owner rather than risk losing the call.
The system will also allow us to send out auto voicemails to our members. We can already think of ways to utilize this service for special announcements, points specials, accrual notices, point expirations and other topics.
Hopefully you’ll see the benefits of the new system right away. I’m proud and pleased to tell you that the staff are excited to have such a great tool to help service our members. We’ll do anything we can to get you on vacation.
If you didn’t get a chance to travel to Ogunquit for this week’s Wine Weekend.. you missed out!
What a great time it was. Guests arrived in Maine on Friday evening, dropped the bags and walked over to the cocktail party. About 20 guests were there and the laughs kept rolling!
Everyone was slow to wake on Saturday morning, so that gave them ample time to rest up before the main dinner. Around 5:15pm the Angelina’s doors opened and the wine flowed. The room was set with two family style tables of 20 people. At first, I must admit I was worried that people may not want to sit with strangers. Well, my fears were nonsence. The wine and the laughter and the stories never ended.
Angelina’s prepared wonderful courses and the wine pairing was perfect. We tried wines that no one had heard of, a real treat. Mike Connolly with Palm Bay Imports hosted everyone with tales of Italian Wine folklore and a few wine induced stories as well!
We had so much fun. As the dinner ended, Angelina’s famous bartender Chris took over. He created some great Martini’s for us and we continued the evening as if it was New Year’s Eve….
Seriously, if you are looking for something different to do with your weekend, a get-a-way that will recharge you..come to the next Wine Dinner.
See you soon!

We’ve had three Specialty Week ends so far this year. Two were great successes and one was slow. I attribute the slow week end to being too close to the year end holidays. The recent Wine Dinner Week end was held at Angelina’s in Ogunquit was sold out! All reports are that it was a lot of fun with good company, good food and good wine. All of that was available for under 30,000 points.
Upcoming week ends include events at Cannon and Loon, a brew-pub week end at Federal Jacks in Kennebunkport, a cooking class in Falmouth and then a Cape Cod week end in Falmouth with lighthouse tours, Cape Cod Winery and Cape Cod Potato Chip factory tours.
They are your Points, go out and use them!
Due to your enthusiastic response to the upcoming Stonewall Kitchen Cooking Class weekend, the class has sold out!
For those of you who didn’t get a chance to book this specialty weekend, don’t worry! We are in the process of trying to find another weekend to offer this great cooking class and discounted points stay.
Keep your eye on the blog and the newsletter for information on more upcoming Specialty Point weekends.
