The proposed Hyatt Maui Timeshare has not received any permits yet. Issuance of the permit will next be considered by the Maui Planning Commission on March 25, 2008.
 
Thanks for the update! We'll be at the Westin that week, maybe we'll hear some good news!
 
Kal,

Thank you for the update on maui. Any news on kauai?

A few of the big shots from Hyatt where in Tahoe (Northstar) on Monday now they are down here in Carmel.

Again that you for the information. If you get a copy of a link to the Planning commission in Maui I would love to see the staff report.
 
I can't wait for Hyatt to open Hawaii... but I have a feeling it will be what opens up everyones eyes to what a great system Hyatt is.... :(
 
I agree.
I truly think hawaii is the missing piece for HYatt.
A HVC timeshare resort beside the beautiful Hyatt Hotel-in KAUAI- would be a vacationers dream.
I really hope they pursue their Hawaii projects agressively.
 
kal and other Hyatt owners,

I think we should consider writing to the Maui Planning Commission via Email to the chair of that commission.

Of course we can not write yet because the staff report is not out but I hope everybody that wants to see a HYATT MAUI Timeshare would write a small note in FULL support of the project.

I know a few other owners that live here in the Carmel/Monterey Ca area we are going to state how great Hyatt is and how they are good to the land and their employees. long term players.

If Hyatt can get Carmel Highlands we should be able to get Maui but we all need to take a few minute and write a brief letter in FULL support of the project.

Kal please keep us updated with you Maui connection.:cheer:
 
we would need to buy more developer shares and referr friend to buy developer share.

I have bought/referral for purchase witH developer weekMarriot but not many. For now (next 3-5 years( it is just easier to go to maui with a westin/mariott. That all have very nice accomodation too.

As to Kaui-- to go Waiohai which is on popui beach.
I will be to both Kaui and Maui this year. Will scoop things out

Here is the snail-mail address:

Maui Planning Commission
County of Maui
250 South High Street
Wailuku, Hawaii 96793

Project Name: Hyatt Regency Maui Addition
 
In prep for Hawaii and northstar- what do you guys think will be the right amount of points needed to enjoy a week in Northstar and another in Hawaii-
I currently have 3300 HVC.
Im thinking of increasing by unloading my HGVC Hawaii and maybe my 1300 HVC for more points.
Or should I just hold as the Hawaii project is still in the air and may not happen at all.
 
IMHO- at least 3-4 yrs if it happen. For points 4200+ points
If you want your vacation to Hawaii- buy a Marriott/Westin or add Hilton.
I never wanted to count my chicken until they hatched

Benj,

I think anything between 4000 to 4400 points are perfect for a great family vacation

1 full week Tahoe (summer)
1 full week Nothstar (winter)

then

1 full week anytime in Hawaii EOY (ANYTIME)
1 full week carmel (anytime)

So Kal, do YOU recommend we write the Maui planning commission and support the project or will that look like interference from main landers?

That's an interesting thought. My initial feeling is that the commission's goal is to assure new construction is in accordance with all applicable building codes and rules for development. However, since Hawaii's economy is vastly driven by tourism, one might suggest their "client" is the tourist. Yes, it's an odd way of thinking, but MONEY TALKS.

Maui has many unique development problems where it would be easy to put a hold on progress. IMHO I don't see the Maui Planning Commission as a "no growth" agent. Therefore I would definitely make every effort to advise the Commission of your support to the project.

Lets start writing those letters and e-mails today!!

MAUI HYATT that sounds so GOOD!!!
 
I dont get it it- marriott, Hilton and westin seem to have no prob developing timeshares in Hawaii- Why is it that Hyatt encounters delay after delay and one prob after the next? Any thoughts-

Benji,

I do hope you write a letter that is what is really important do it today.

We will know more next week when the Staff report should be out in regards to the Hyatt development.

There are some rumors going around about hyatt and I wish not to say till I personally have more into for all of you.
 
Good idea

Ill draft one this weekend

Carmel85- do you think the other large t.share companies (starwood etc.) can cause problems for a Hyatt proj in Hawaii? Or is it that Hyatt is just speculating at this time-

It just seems like they go on building - while Hyatt encounters one issue after the next.

We love conspiracies dont we?

Marriott ran into several delays when adding the two towers to their Maui Ocean Club property. I don't have exact numbers but it seems to me the additions were several years in the planning stages before all the objections and final approvals were completed.
 
Kal,

Do you have a copy of the Maui Planning Commission staff report?


I would like to get a copy of it if you can get it from your sources.


I have been looking for it on their website but have seen nothing not even the agenda which both should be public record.



Thank you

Here is the Agenda. I'll look to find where the minutes are kept from these meetings. If I find the link, I'll add to this post.

This is the link for the minutes, but they don't keep them up-to-date. They look like they are a year behind...
http://www.co.maui.hi.us/boards/boa...breviation=Board24&CommitteeReportType=Minute

Thank you so much for the agenda but can you please get the STAFF report...


We need to know what the planning department staff report says!!!!

Many Thanks
 
I have just seen the staff report for Maui sent to me by a fellow Hyatt owner Steve Dallas who is going to run for the HOA in Lake Tahoe this year.

Steve just e-mail me a copy and the staff report, staff is recommending approval with 65 conditions of approval and 3 more condition for the parking structure.

There was 1 letter in file in regards to the tennis courts with Maui District tennis association asking Hyatt to build 12 new tennis courts and sport complex. I do not think this will get any where.

Hyatt must start building if approved with in 3 years and completion of the entire project with in 5 years or permit is revoked.



25th of March is the BIG day for Hyatt MAUI:clap: :clap:
