Re: Right to Use Versus Deeded (by Robert S.):

When I asked the direct question to Michelle, who has been in sales at the Surf Club since it started construction, this was his answer. Everyone who bought a timeshare, has a RTU until the year 2060. This is because the land on which the Surf Club sits, is owned by the Aruba government. At the end of the RTU period, if the government decides not to extend the RTU, they must buy everyone out. In my opinion, this would never happen because the Aruba government knows that tourism is the mainstay of the island income. Anyone who says they are deeded should look at their documentation very carefully, because my two do not use the word "deed" anywhere.
