I'm pretty new but am trying to jumpstart my knowledge. Went to a sales presentation last while on vacation in Maui.. I was pleasantly surprised by the product and the price offered, and what seemed to be low pressure sales technique. I decided to go for it and use the 7 day rescission period to get up to speed and cancel out if I found anything not to my liking.
Wow, the 7 days has gone by fast..and they are giving me at least another day to complete my evaluation, luckily.
What I am contemplating purchasing is an every other year flex week mountain view 2 BR unit in Napili Villas. I was also given a bunch of Marriott points ( I think about 75K), an almost $5,000 discount for signing up that day, two free luau tickets, and a certificate to give to a friend for 5 free nights as long as they attend a sales presentation. This is the unit that has the studio that can be locked off. The locked off portion if unused one year can be carried forward to the next year effectively giving you an every year stay if you want to. I was really impressed by the flexibility of the package and the units were beautiful. The whole deal came out to a cost of around 23,000-24,000 K..don't have exact figure in front of me. The maintenance fee will be approx 900. per year.
Here are my questions:
How can I find out if the maintenance fee will go up after more of the units are sold? This building is about 50% sold at this point.
Does anyone know if this place gets overrun with kids? I love kids but mine are grown and I also like peace and quiet when at the pool. There is apparently no adult pool here.
How do you know what to expect as far as special assessments?
How hard is it to get the week you want? I am testing the waters on this..I told them I want this same week, one year from now. They haven't answered yet but are checking to see if its available. If I cant get the week I want one year ahead I will take that as a very negative sign.
I have read about buying resales vs buying from the developer, but I like the perks you get from working with Marriott directly. For example, you have an account executive that advises you and helps you use your timeshare to meet your needs, including helping with exchanges etc.
I love Maui!!
I like the flex week as I don't want to be locked into a certain week every year.
Any advice for a newbie most appreciated! Mahalo!
