My Mom is a Marriott Vacation Club member, which is why she picked this location for our family Easter trip. We had a situation where my ski flew off of the shuttle where it was not properly secured. I had my skis on the back of the shuttle, and when we arrived at the property, only one of my skis was there. The driver and I went back to look at the pick up location, to see if the missing ski was left behind. When we got back to the resort, my boyfriend and I looked up and down where the shuttle drove between the pick up and drop off spot. We found my ski propped up on a wood post on the side of the frontage road. Someone had saw it on the road, pulled over, picked it off the road, and propped it up. I did find there was damage on the ski and reported it to the front desk, and hoped I would receive compensation for the repairs as the damage was a result of falling off of the Marriott shuttle. I had to get my skis repaired at the shop, resulting in losing a ski day, and personal money on the repair. These were brand new skis and bindings and after communicating with Liberty Mutual, they denied my claim saying that Marriott was not responsible, and would not reimburse for the damages. The reason I write this review is because my Mom had reached out to the property GM directly, who said he would get back to her but never did. She had her own issues with a mouse in the condo and never received any acknowledgement of the situation or mine. Mistakes happen, but this is a big mistake and a very dangerous one that should be addressed. A ski flying off of a shuttle can cause serious damage and the outcome could have been much worse if the car behind us had not stopped before hitting the ski. I wish this property would acknowledge and apologize for the inconvenience that was caused, and I hope they learn from this, and look at the safety of their ski racks so this never happens again.
