Dear Caribe Resort Owners,

Assessment

For those that were unable to attend the Annual Homeowners Meeting, the proposed 2024 budget was approved including the assessment for all unit owners, primarily due to the 2024 insurance policy. Your unit’s individual assessment amount is based on the square footage of the interior of your unit. All owners were sent an invoice from our accounting department on Wednesday, March 20th 2024 with the invoiced assessment amount and these assessments were due on April 23rd, 2024. A late fee will be imposed on unit owners that have not paid this assessment and this amount will be determined by the COA board of directors.

Parking Garage Repairs

We have identified portions of corrosion on the rebar that is inside a column in the C & D parking garage. This corrosion causes expansion and spalling of the concrete.  The source of water causing the damage has been partially identified. With the oversight by a structural engineer, repairs to this column will be made in the coming weeks.

Until this area is reinforced, the lower tier of the upper deck pool will remain closed in addition to the closure of partial areas in the C & D parking garage. We are taking an overly cautious approach to these repairs as directed by the engineer.

B Building Water Pressure

Temporary repairs have been made to the booster system in B Building until the new system arrives and the water pressure should be normal until the installation of this new system occurs. The new triplex domestic booster system is currently in production and we anticipate the arrival of the new system in the coming months.

Change of Elevator Services

The board has elected to change elevator companies for better preventative maintenance and quality of service for the elevators on property. With this change of service, we will see a slight savings on the monthly service contract with this new company.

2024 Insurance Renewal Premiums

Thanks to tough negotiations, we were able to secure a 14% discount on the wind policy for the property insurance. Please keep in mind our insurance year is from April 1st to March 31st of the following year and our budget is from January 1st to December 31st. 

Coffee Shop

The coffee shop located near the indoor pools in D Building is officially open daily from 7am-6pm. Hours of operations may be adjusted based on occupancy and seasons. Enjoy an array of pastries and coffee beverages at this new amenity.

Cabanas and Tiki Bar

The cabanas are officially open and available to rent on cariberesort.com or by calling the front desk at 251-980-9010. Since their opening on April 19th, 2024 we have 187 cabana reservations with a total number of 249 days currently on the books. No discounts or favoritism will be given on the cabana rentals to keep consistency and bookings fair for the overall benefit of the association.

The Tiki Bar on the upper deck is also officially open from 9am-6pm daily and additionally, these hours of operations may be adjusted based on occupancy and seasons.  Owners and guests can enjoy the delicious beverages from virgin daiquiris to premium cocktails and bushwhackers. We hope to see you on the deck!

Owner’s Gate Automated System

Owner decals for the new gate system are still being distributed and these decals can be picked up in our sales office located in the B Building. Each unit will receive two chipped decals and any additional decals needed will be available for purchase in the sales office Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm at $25 per additional decal. These can be purchased by the deeded owner via cash or check, made out to the Caribe Owners Association.  

Projects in Progress

  • Painting upgrades have been taking place on the outdoor hot tubs and pools in between C & D buildings in addition to the upper deck. All outdoor hot tubs have been repainted and reopened except for the west hot tub in between C & D lower deck pools as we’re awaiting the arrival of parts to repair this hot tub.

As a reminder our Annual Homeowners Association meeting will be held March 15th, 2025.

Thank you,
