Aloha,
I have learned so much from reading the Marriott Resort System forum I just had to join! Thank you everyone for all of the valuable information posted here! We have been going to Maui for 20 yrs ~ owners at the MOC for the past 15 yrs. We have spent time on Oahu (Marriott Waikiki) Kauai (Kauai Beach Club and soon at the Marriott Grand Residences) Molokai and Lanai (day trips).
In 2014 we would like to spend some time on the Big Island. I have been exploring accommodation options online and at this time am leaning towards staying at the Marriott Waikoloa or Courtyard on points or perhaps points plus cash for about 5-6 days. I welcome your thoughts on these 2 resorts ~ looks like Waikoloa is about 25 miles north of Kona. How is that for getting around/to shops/restaurants? Is is better to stay more local at the Courtyard? Can we do a day trip to Volcanoes National Park from these locations?
In return, if I can be of any help with questions about Maui or the MOC, please let me know. We know that island by heart now!
Warmest Aloha's!
