Just got this email regarding a reservation I have in February:
As a valued Starwood Preferred Guest member, we are contacting you to inform you of a change in the status of the Sheraton Nassau. As of December 1st, 2013 the property will no longer be part of Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide or the Sheraton brand and will no longer participate in the Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) program. The hotel will be transitioning to the Meliá Nassau Beach Resort and will be managed by Meliá Hotels International.
We see you are currently holding a reservation, confirmation number XXXXXX, arriving on XX February, 2014 and departing on XX February, 2014. We are very pleased to inform you that the hotel will honor your reservation for a Preferred (free) Night Award, including Cash and Points, as your stay was originally confirmed. However, since the hotel will no longer be affiliated with the Starwood system, you will not earn Starpoints for any eligible charges incurred, nor will you receive any of your Starwood Preferred Guest membership amenities or benefits. We hope we can count on your understanding.
The Meliá Nassau team is looking forward to welcoming you. You may contact the resort directly at 242-327-6000 with questions regarding your reservation. Should you wish to connect with a member of our Customer Service Team you may email us at executive.guest.service@starwoodhotels.com.
We appreciate your continued patronage of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide and we apologize for this unforeseen change and any inconvenience it may cause for you. We look forward to welcoming you to a Starwood Preferred Guest participating property in the near future.
