Ritz 1 improvements and upgrades are completed and is now open.  We closed Ritz 1 in September and reopened in January 2007.  We have received rave reviews on the improvements from guests staying there.  We look forward to seeing all of our members visit the Resort and see the immense progress and improvements we have made.  You will not be disappointed. 

As of November 1, 2006, any new billings are being issued and collected by Conrad Acceptance Corporation, P.O. Box 469109, Escondido, CA 92046-9109.  In an effort to provide better service to our members , the rules of the Resort have changed regarding how maintenance fees will be billed and collected. Beginning in the year 2007 all maintenance fees will be billed for payment on June 1 of each year.  We are also pleased to announce that we have contracted with Conrad Acceptance Corporation, a professional timeshare receivable management company, to perform our maintenance fee billing.  Contact information for them will be provided in your next statement.  We encourage you to keep a copy of that statement and direct all future payments or questions to their office.  Reservation requests should still be directed to the resort. 

The 2007-2008 Resort season will begin on the first day of June 2007 and end on the last day of May 2008.  In order to book at the Resort or with RCI maintenance fees must be up to date.  If maintenance fees are not paid in June a notice will be sent to Members informing them  that the fees are past due.  If payment is not received by the end of July, the Member will be subject to having their user right suspended for the year or of having their Membership terminated. 

We recognize that the 2007-2008 Resort year will be a transition year in implementing this new procedure .  In that regard if you want to book a reservation prior to the June billing you will need to call the Resort in the usual manner and make sure fees are up to date at the time you book.  Your cooperation in this transition period would be greatly appreciated. 

We are happy to announce that RITZ III is ahead of schedule.  Instead of opening on July 1, 2007, we will be open for occupancy on March 2, 2007.  We are allowing members to use an extra week between March thru May by just paying the maintenance fee for that week.  You will still be billed for your annual week on June 1 and your reservations can be made between June 1, 2007 and May 31, 2008.  We are also happy to announce that we have received the Gold Crown status from RCI.

As many of you are aware, we are in the process of implementing new check in days.  In addition to Saturday, we are also offering Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

To ease the check in process as well as to give you flexibility, we will be making the new check in days mandatory as of May 1, 2007.  As a result, there will be a limited number of rooms available for each day. All new and existing reservations will have to reflect this change as of May 1, 2007.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused but we feel confident that this change will have a positive impact on all concerned. 

We look forward to seeing you on your next visit. 

We are pleased to announce the opening of our new Welcome Center. The 6000 square feet building is beautifully decorated and has a comfortable couches and chairs in the massive lobby.  We also have a large luggage room to store your luggage upon arrival or departure.  We also have a Tour Desk to assist you with all your activities during your stay.  We also provide free internet service upstairs.   Just check with the Front Desk to sign up as there is a 30 minute limit.
