- Lawai Beach Resort, Wyndham Kona Hawaiian
After many years of thinking about it, research, etc we found a deal that we think will work for us, at a price we are very happy with. Found an Ebay deal for the Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort, Biennial, even years. This one, apparently has 2018 already paid for and not used so we could be getting a free week with it.
Purchase is a weeks deed, not points. We are good with that. We have not been to that resort, but we love going to Hawaii, and the reviews here on TUG and elsewhere helped us decide that this will work. Being 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom means that we can bring friends or family.. I know our daughters are willing to share (we are putting their names on the deeds). We figure that going to the Big Island every other year will not be to much of a hardship, as retirement looms on the horizon.
Now we continue to watch for a deal on 2 bedroom at the Lawai Beach resort. We may try and pick up another week at Kona too. Small steps. I wouldn't mind getting into the points system somewhere along the way for other travel. We know we love being on Hawaii, so we plan to use these resorts, not trade. I guess the option to trade via RCI (weeks) is there if we choose to use it.
Would love to hear peoples experiences, especially other owners at the Wyndham Kona Hawaiian. Any tips that you care to pass on?
Thanks
James
