Based on my understanding of publicly available information (one source in the link below), the owner did not believe that FS managed the property in the most efficient manner. I've stayed at many FS properties around the world and have always found the maintenance to meet or exceed my expectatons for a luxury property. I speculate that FS wanted to do maintain the property to its usual standards but the owners didn't want to put in more money to refresh the property.

I'm not an industry insider and do not know the full story so I could be completely wrong.
