First, we want to thank all of the members that submitted the surveys. We wanted to give all the Taino members an opportunity to give their feedback and comments. The hurricanes that swept through the islands in 2004 and 2005 were devastating to everyone. We had numerous civil engineers and surveyors assessing the damage to the Taino buildings. Unfortunately, the buildings were beyond repairs and had to be demolished. Mr. Kenneth Farino was hired by the Board of Directors to resolve the issues with the Taino members. He has been extremely busy reviewing all the returned surveys and here are the results:
Requested termination 13% Ritz Transfers 33% Wait on new building 5% Wants to sell 5% Keep current membership 11% Undecided 33%
The process of transferring the Taino members to our existing buildings will take time and will require your utmost patience. For those members that requested a transfer, a letter will be sent out in the next month explaining the options. If you are interested in transferring to our existing building, please send an email to tania@tainobeach.com or fax to 1-242-373-4421, attention: Taino Transfers.
For those members that do not wish to transfer at this time, you may utilize the following options.
1) We have signed an agreement with RCI that will allow for our Taino members to receive a week to use for exchange. You are only required to pay your maintenance fee and the exchange fee with RCI as you have done in the past. The only difference is that you will not be required to pay for the RCI membership fee as we will pay this for you. However, this is a temporary solution and eventually we will have to find an alternative solution. OR 2) Make reservations to visit Taino Beach Resort in the Bahamas for the cost of the maintenance fee of the unit. Please contact the reservation department at 1-242-373-4682 or reservations@tainobeach.com(you will need to pay the difference between your maintenance fee at Taino and the maintenance fee of the requested unit):
Again, we would like to thank everyone for their patience and support. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

]]>ANNOUNCEMENT FOR RITZ 1:
http://www.tainobeach.com/news/index.php?entry=entry070201-214825
]]>NEW BILLING PROCEDURE:
http://www.tainobeach.com/news/index.php?entry=entry061101-214745
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. ]]>GRAND OPENING for our new building RITZ III:

]]>NEW CHECKIN DAYS:
http://www.tainobeach.com/news/index.php?entry=entry060801-214227
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. ]]>GRAND OPENING OF NEW WELCOME CENTER:
