But for Richard Cichanowicz, buying  property in paradise has become a nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>In 2005 and again in 2007, the Reston, Va., program manager paid  deposits for condominiums to be built at the Westin Roco Ki Beach &amp;  Golf Resort on the Dominican Republic&#8217;s eastern shore. Years later, the  resort languishes unfinished and out of money. Mr. Cichanowicz still is  waiting for his condos to be completed, or for his deposits\u2014totaling  $675,000\u2014to be refunded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had visions of family vacations and inviting friends there,&#8221; Mr.  Cichanowicz says. &#8220;All of that has just been put on hold, seemingly  indefinitely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"articlevideo_1\">\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article_email\/SB10001424052970203833004577251631933309866-lMyQjAxMTAyMDIwOTEyNDkyWj.html?mod=wsj_share_email#\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/m.wsj.net\/video\/20120229\/022912lunchvacahome\/022912lunchvacahome_512x288.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"272\" height=\"153\" \/> <\/a><\/div>\n<p>Vacation homes typically conjure up dreams of  blue skies, pristine sand and crystalline waters. But as Kris Hudson  explains on Lunch Break, Caribbean vacation-home buyers, most of them  American, have been learning a costly lesson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Caribbean vacation-home buyers, most of them  American, have been learning a costly lesson: Unlike in most U.S.  states, deposits in most Caribbean countries can be spent on  construction rather than locked away in escrow.<\/p>\n<p>That has posed big problems for would-be buyers at no fewer than six  Caribbean resort projects whose developers ran out of money during  construction, as the economic downturn caused sales to plunge and funds  to dry up. Those stalled projects include the Westin Roco Ki, a Four  Seasons in Barbados and a Ritz-Carlton in the Turks and Caicos Islands. A  seventh resort, the Viceroy Anguilla, was completed but then foreclosed  upon before villa sales closed.<\/p>\n<p>At those seven projects, buyers paid roughly $300 million in deposits  for vacation homes that in most cases still languish as partial  structures of cinder block and rusting steel bars.<\/p>\n<p>The woes of these troubled projects have cast a pall over the  business model that spurred one of the Caribbean&#8217;s largest  resort-development waves in recent decades. &#8220;That model is dead for the  next three to five years,&#8221; said Rick Newton, founding partner of Resort  Capital Partners LLC, an investment adviser specializing in Caribbean  lodging.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers have no hope of getting their money back from the major hotel  companies whose names are attached to the projects\u2014like Four Seasons,  Ritz-Carlton and Westin\u2014because the companies simply manage and brand  the hotels while developers sell the residences.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives for Four Seasons and Westin parent Starwood Hotels  &amp; Resorts Worldwide Inc. say they are disappointed in the status of  the projects, and Starwood Hotels noted that hotel operators aren&#8217;t  responsible for the overall development. The Four Seasons spokesman  added that in order to protect its brand and any buyers of Four  Seasons-branded residences, the company has new conditions for  prospective developers to meet. Ritz-Carlton declined to comment.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"articleThumbnail_2\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><a>Enlarge Image<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/si.wsj.net\/public\/resources\/images\/MI-BN768_vacaho_D_20120228231641.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"vacahome_jp\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" width=\"262\" height=\"174\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"articleImage_2\">\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/si.wsj.net\/public\/resources\/images\/MI-BN768_vacaho_G_20120228231641.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"vacahome_jp\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" width=\"553\" height=\"369\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><cite>Rob Sterling<\/cite>The developers and lenders of the stalled Westin Roco Ki resort are looking for new investors in order to resume construction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>One hope for buyers is that the  cash-strapped developers obtain new financing or that a new investor  steps in and returns their deposits. Another possibility: Anyone taking  over the developments might want villa buyers to complete their  purchases in order to give builders additional funds to finish  construction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This project will never get done unless the original buyers  participate in it,&#8221; says Mike Carretta, a New Jersey advertising  executive who paid a $1.4 million deposit for a still-incomplete  vacation home at the Temenos resort in Anguilla. &#8220;You&#8217;re just not going  to go out in this economic climate and find 30 new buyers for property  like this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Complicating matters, debt financing has always been tough to obtain  in the Caribbean and some of the developments are tangled up in legal  battles.<\/p>\n<p>Also, many of the developments have deteriorated amid harsh Caribbean  weather conditions, so restarting them would be expensive. At the  Westin Roco Ki, for example, jungle vegetation was retaking the grounds  and debris littered the beach when visited by a Wall Street Journal  reporter late last year.<\/p>\n<p>The project&#8217;s developers and lenders are marketing it for sale and have drawn interest but not a final deal yet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most villa buyers are hoping that a white knight will show up and  finish their villa,&#8221; says Matt Norton, an attorney specializing in  Caribbean resorts for U.S. law firm K&amp;L Gates LLP. &#8220;But the reality  is that, with most of these guys, the money is gone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The phased-payment plans in the Caribbean typically required a buyer  to pay a deposit upon signing a contract. The buyer would then pay more  when construction milestones were met, with the balance due at closing.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers say the practice of using deposits for construction was  highlighted in most sales contracts, but they didn&#8217;t expect the projects  to grind to a halt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had never purchased an island home before and should have been  more careful,&#8221; says Mr. Carretta, who visited Anguilla often to monitor  progress of his villa&#8217;s construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article highlights the problems faced by a lot of
