Neil’s NOTES — misc. notes copied to MS Word and sent to myself as misc. emails
Hilton/Bluegreen FRAUD:
#1: BASIC FACTS CONCERNING THIS CASE: Eursla Giles and Bluegreen committed multiple actions that were deceptive and fraudulent, including felony violations of state and federal laws.
#2: For our part, we (the Gillespies) do not wish to pursue litigation to resolve and settle this matter. We believe that the matter would be best resolved through a simple and fair cash settlement — paid by Bluegreen to the Gillespies — including provisions to terminate the Gillespie’s current ownership relationship with Bluegreen/Hilton.
#3: If litigation becomes necessary, primary causes of action likely would include: consumer fraud / deceptive trade practices, fraud / misrepresentation, breach of contract, and possibly violation of state timeshare laws and federal consumer protection statutes.
#4: I summarized to Megan Allen (at Bluegreen) our offer and request for fair, straightforward resolution to this matter which would require an immediate cash payment by Bluegreen to the Gillespies in the amount of $100,000, including provisions that completely terminate our ownership/account relationship with Bluegreen/Hilton.
5: Did I understand Megan correctly, that Bluegreen has thusfar chosen to NOT accept or act on our settlement offer?
#6: If that is the current status of this case: Megan, will you (or Bluegreen’s legal department) please send me a written statement (by email, mail, etc.) outlining and summarizing in simple, clear terms your best settlement offer? We are requesting that it be in the form of a cash settlement that includes provisions terminating our ownership relationship with Bluegreen/Hilton.
#7: If we are unable to achieve a satisfactory settlement without litigation, please provide me with the appropriate email addresses, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers that we should use to communicate with Bluegreen/Hilton’s legal department.

Hilton/Bluegreen NOTES-1
Hilton/Bluegreen — Advised settlement: Pay $31,591.25 x 2 = $63,182.50 by Nov.14, with provisions to finalize account.
Please settle this matter now.
The Gillespie’s respectfully ask that Hilton/Bluegreen agree to settle this matter now, reasonably and equitably, by Friday, November 14, 2025, without need of litigation or any other legal actions, by taking full responsibility for this matter (and for the actions of your employee Eursla Giles, and others) and by fulfilling the following two actions:
1. Agree to pay the Gillespies the amount of $63,182.50, to be paid immediately in full, by check or by direct deposit into the Gillespie’s bank account; and:
2. Agree to then finalize and immediately close the Gillespie’s account with Hilton/Bluegreen, to be considered paid and settled in full.
___________________________________
The amount due to seller (Bluegreen) at closing per the contract signed on 08/19/2024 was $31,591.25. The Gillespies have since incurred additional expenses, interest on loans, etc.
The amount of $63,182.50 was determined by DOUBLING (“vis-à-vis” Eursla Giles):
$31,591.25 x 2 = $63,182.50
We claim and know to be true (and have strong evidence proving) that Eursla Giles, representing Bluegreen (and Hilton), made many false, deceptive, and fraudulent claims in this matter. For example, she claimed that we were “sitting on a gold mine”, claiming that Bluegreen had assigned a property to our account that had a liability that the Hilton acquisition would be required to resolve. Eursla repeatedly said that as a result of this property assignment (and her claims that the Hilton acquisition in October would be required to resolve the liability), she repeatedly stated that we would already have $82,000 equity, if we completed the purchase on 8/19/2025, pending the Hilton acquisition, which Eursla repeatedly said would DOUBLE to $164,000, once the Hilton acquisition of Bluegreen was completed in October, 2025. She repeatedly stated that (after basic transaction expenses) this would leave “well over $100,000” in our bank account, and she said that we would then be able to simply close and finalize our account with Bluegreen, with no further obligations, maintenance fees, etc.
Hilton/Bluegreen needs to accept responsibility in this matter and settle it now.

Hilton/Bluegreen NOTES-3
Bluegreen, Eursla Giles, 08/19/2024
EILAN HOTEL & SPA, San Antonio, TX, A CONDOMINIUM, 816X/17F, Contract# 2872016, 10/26/2023
BG CLUB 36, Las Vegas, NV, 318A/9F, Contract# 2910451, 08/19/2024
Here is a summary of what I was able to locate so far on the property you referenced—Éilan Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, Texas — and along with it, some next steps and questions. This is not legal advice, but it may help you and your attorney map out the situation.
What I found
The Eilan Hotel & Spa is located at 18603 La Cantera Terrace, San Antonio, TX 78256.
The hotel was acquired by Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (which is a vacation-ownership / timeshare company) in 2018 for about $34.3 million.
The resort is part of Bluegreen’s “drive-to” resort strategy and appears in timeshare / points exchange literature as a resort location.
The property appears in a class-action-type filed document involving timeshare owners and developers where “San Antonio, Éilan Hotel & Spa” is specifically mentioned.
I found mention in a Facebook group of “Eilan Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, Texas … FORECLOSURE NOTICES TO EVERYONE YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY HELPED …” albeit unverified.
What I didn’t find (or could not verify) yet
I did not locate publicly available documentation of a specific condominium unit “816X/17F, Contract #2872016, 10/26/2023” in the public records found so far.
I did not find a confirmed record of foreclosure proceedings, liens, or default on that specific contract number (2872016) tied to that date.
I did not determine whether the unit is a timeshare condominium, a deeded interest, a points-based membership, or something else (though the context suggests vacation ownership).
I did not see the chain of liability, i.e., how the contract links to the developer, broker, sales rep, and what rights you may have under Texas or Virginia law (if your residence is in Virginia, but the property is in Texas).
Key questions you’ll want to answer and record
When you meet or correspond with an attorney, you will want to bring as much of the following information as possible:
Exactly what type of interest was purchased: Was it a full condominium deed? A timeshare deed? A points-based membership? (If the contract says “condominium” that suggests a deeded interest but timeshare companies sometimes use that term loosely.)
Who sold it (sales rep name, company name, date of sale, document numbers) and under what contract number (you cited #2872016).
The date of purchase and the consideration (amount paid, payment schedule, financing if any). You indicated the contract date as 10/26/2023 — verify this in the contract.
Whether there have been any payments missed, any foreclosure notices, liens filed, maintenance/association dues delinquent, or other signs of liability.
Copies of all contracts, the resale/exit rights or clause, any promotional/sales materials or representations made (especially if you believe you were defrauded).
Evidence of misrepresentation (if applicable): what was promised versus what you got.
The jurisdiction and what law applies: Texas (where the property is) vs. your resident state (Virginia) if you reside there. Could there be multi-state legal issues?
Whether the property is part of a timeshare plan or club managed by Bluegreen Vacations or affiliated entities (given their acquisition and mention in timeshare cases).
Any communication or notices you have received about foreclosure, default, association dues, or lawsuits tied to the property.
Preliminary legal considerations
If this is indeed a consumer-fraud scenario (you believe you were defrauded by the sales rep or developer) then you may have both contract law claims and consumer-protection (fraud/misrepresentation) claims.
If there is foreclosure, default, or liability (maintenance fees, association dues) then you’ll want to understand your exposure: the property may be subject to lien, you may face judgment, resale may be difficult.
Because the property is in Texas, a Texas real-estate attorney or someone familiar with Texas real-estate/timeshare law will be key (even if you reside in Virginia).
The fact that Bluegreen is involved suggests a timeshare / club membership context. Timeshare law (and exit strategies) are complex and often require specialized counsel. The class action document mentioning “San Antonio, Éilan Hotel & Spa” in the context of timeshare owner payment obligations is a red flag.
Useful for you: Preserving all records, emailing a lawyer asap, and determining if there is imminent risk of foreclosure or lien enforcement.
Next steps I can help you with
I can search Texas county public records (Bexar County) for Unit “816X/17F, Contract #2872016” at that address to see if there are recorded liens/foreclosure actions, and provide a status update.
I can help you identify Texas real estate / timeshare litigation attorneys in San Antonio or statewide who specialize in timeshare/condominium default/consumer fraud.
I can prepare a document checklist specific to your contract and the timeshare/condominium context so you (and your attorney) can systematically gather everything.
I can help draft a preliminary demand letter to the seller/developer/management entity referencing your misrepresentation and potential liability concerns.
If you like, I can go ahead now and check the Bexar County real-estate records for the unit you mentioned and see whether there are any liens, foreclosures, lawsuits recorded, and provide you with a printout of any findings (and what those findings might mean). Would you like me to do that?

Hilton/Bluegreen NOTES-4 (first of 2 with same name)
EURSLA GILES — BlueGreen — Patrick Henry Square — Her MOBILE# IS 407-773-5364. She didn’t call for another 2 weeks. She said her uncle & brother had died.
When we met with her in August, Eursla Giles only gave us the Concierge phone#, but she said said she will call us on Sept.3 and give us her mobile#. (She didn’t call until a couple of weeks later, AFTER I TRIED MANY TIMES TO REACH HER. She said her uncle and her brother had died.) She said on Sept.3 — (now either Oct.3 or later after 45 days) — she’ll talk with us about consolidating or re-doing our loan repayment, credit cards, etc. In August, she told us:
As a result of the Hilton acquisition, we (will or already do) own $82,000 equity, and it involves some type of foreclosure related to our deed. Grandfathered, etc. She is surprised that they put us in this property — i.e., she’s surprised that BlueGreen allowed us to have/keep/be in such a good situation [i.e., because Hilton will be required to pay off the foreclosure on our deed]. After the Hilton acquisition is completed, the equity will be DOUBLED ($82K x 2). After all expenses, she says we will net over $100,000. In a year (or whenever), we can leave it all behind, taking the $100K+ equity in our account with us — and be DONE!
When she finally called us in mid-September, she said that some of the changes will be delayed for 45 days after the sale is completed. She gave us her mobile number, and she said she will call us either early October or after 45 days and go over everything with us.

EURSLA GILES — Also, look up recorded phone calls, including one in Oct.2024 with ALYSSA MORNING @ PATRICK HENRY (about EURSLA GILES): Comments from that call are shown below:
COMMENTS: ALYSSA MORNING @ PATRICK HENRY. Caller ID showed Hilton Grand. She’s a MANAGER in the Quality Assurance department. She said the regular number for that department is 757-564-4945. I EXPLAINED TO HER OUR ATTEMPTS TO REACH EURSLA GILES DURING THE LAST SIX OR SEVEN WEEKS. She confirmed that Eursla still works there. She confirmed both phone numbers that I have for Eursla. She asked if there was any way she could help. She said she would contact Eursla and Eursla’s manager to let her know that we are asking her to call us. If I don’t hear anything soon from Eursla, call Alyssa again. Eursla eventually called, but the [recorded] call was just more garbage from her.
