Hawaiian Islands Air Conditioned Wyndham Timeshares

A trip to the Hawaiian Islands is being planned for next July. The group I am traveling with request air conditioned timeshares. Can anyone give me info on which ones are? Thanks!

If you look in the Directory (starting here: http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/wyndham/2013657298WMD/#/110) the "Helpful Hints" section for each resort will tell you if there is no A/C. You might want to call the others to double-check; the resort phone numbers are available in the directory as well.

From what I can tell on website, the following do NOT have AC:
- Bali Hai
- Makai Club Cottages (regular Makai Club does not have this note)
- Shearwater

Any high-rise resort will have AC. The villa-style resorts seem to be the ones that might skip it. Even if a resort is not on the above list, I would call the resort to find out for sure.

NOTE: I only checked Wyndham resorts than one can usually book. I did not check any associate locations that have very limited or no availability for regular (mainland) Wyndham ownerships.

Some of the resorts that have air conditioning may only have them in the bedroom. Those units tend to be window or wall units and can be noisy. I wouldn't reserve any resort without checking if they have central air.

Kauai Beach Villas is managed by Wyndham. There is wall a/c in the bedrooms, and a ceiling fan in the living room. We rarely use the a/c. Low rise units (three floors high) right on the beach generally means nice trade winds blow right through the units, if you open a window or two to create cross ventilation.

I know it's hard for someone from Louisiana to comprehend, but A/C is seldom needed in Hawaii. Open the sliding doors and windows and enjoy the sea breezes and scents of the tropical flowers.

Handy for an afternoon siesta, yes. A deal killer to base resort selection on, uh-uh.

It depends greatly on the time of year, and location. For example, I would never stay in Kona during the summer at a place that didn't have A/C. Many times you don't get a nice cross breeze. We've stayed places there without A/C and it was pretty miserable the times we were in the unit.

We found we didn't need the A/C at Paniolo Greens in Waikoloa or at Kona Coast.

We used to be able to get by without using the A/C at our unit at Maui Hill, but we found when we were there last summer we needed it.

The Wyndham in Kona does have A/C.

What do you consider "summer". The average high temp at Kona ranges only from 82 to 88 degrees. The seven months at Kona with average monthly highs of 85 and above are May through November. The rest of the months are, on the average, only slightly cooler. On the average, September is the warmest month.

I think it also depends on what you are used to. We have friends who keep their houses like ice bergs in the summer, but we are cheap and keep the thermostat at 78 degrees, so we are very comfortable in Hawaii. We just keep the windows and sliders open and enjoy the ocean breeze. I kinda hate to keep everything all shut up in Hawaii - I just love the ocean air.

One big difference is the humidity - there is a little humidity in Hawaii but NOTHING like the south.

Summer for us was when the kids were out of school, so anytime between late June and end of August. The week we own on Maui is end of August, so that is when we would be there. We spent time on the Big Island in June, July and August. Since the OP said they were coming in July, I consider that summer.

Dh and I have spent time on Maui in March and there is a big difference in the temps from "summer".

This past summer we spent two weeks on Maui at Maui Hill (end of August) and then dh and I spent a week on the Big Island. We were two nights in Volcano and 5 nights in Kona, right on the water. It was the hottest, and most humid, that I ever remember it being.

The Wyndham Kona Resort has air conditioning units.
