If we were to purchase a floating resale week at Kaanapali Beach Club , would we have trouble reserving a week since it is advertised and sold as a floating week? It appears that most of Diamond is now operating on points so I am unclear if owning a re-sale week makes sense. We would use this strickly for Hawaii as we own 2 weeks already with Hyatt that we can use for trading.

I don't know. The only thing I know is the Hawaii Collection (points) owns 55% of KBC in 2016.

I own a floating week there and had no problem this year getting the week I wanted and actually changed my week from August to September and they were fine with the change and the week I wanted. We are going there next month. I purchased my week resale last year.

I have a ocean front unit and look forward to going there next month. It will be our first time there and this is the first Diamond week that I own. I keep reading how bad Diamond is and how much people want to get rid of their unit and hopefully they are not as bad as I keep reading.

I am also trying to get in their exchange program but it tells me that I am not eligible, but as always I will keep trying. I will let you know next month what kind of week I have when I return.

Thank you. Hope it works out. We stayed there years ago and enjoyed it and the MFs are more reasonable than many in Maui.

I thought the MFs were ok as well but I keep reading that they are raising all their fees and the increases are way more than they should be. I have only owned a year so I guess next year I will know if the. prices go way up or not. I am hoping now. I also enjoy going to Hawaii and keep reading about the flights going down next year with /southwest going there so I am hoping that is true too. Good luck.
