Hello All!
We just went through a timeshare presentation at the Grand Waikikian last week, and we are considering buying at Kings Land (resale perhaps). Unfortunately, I've never seen it, so I have a few concerns. If anyone has expereience, I would greatly appreciate your opinion!
1) We chose Waikoloa over Waikiki because we want PEACE. 5 years ago, we spent a very relaxing week at Waikoloa's Fairway Villas. But Kings Land is positioned along a major road, and is close to a major highway. Can you hear traffic noise from the inside of the condos (assuming the road-facing bedroom window is open, and your hearing is fine)?
2) We would buy a 2BR premier, floating platinum week, worth 14,400 pts. If we request a building far from the highway (i.e. prefer the southwest part of the property), what are the odds it will be honored? We would travel at fairly busy times, e.g. week 50 or late June.
3) We've been quoted a price of about $68k from the developer, including 55,000 bonus points. I know this is too expensive. Where should I look for Kings Land resales? (The offerings on TUG are still pretty sparse here.)
4) I know that owners have access to the Hilton Waikoloa resort "water recreation". This is a major selling point for us, but can it be revoked at any time? Or is there some assurance that access will remain for x number of years?
5) Is Kings Land fully built out yet? If not, how many more buildings need to be finished, and when is this likely to occur? (Again, we're worried about noise!)
Thanks so much for any advice you can provide! I just discovered this site a few days ago, and I've logged several hours on it already!
Cheers,
Kerry
