While on Maui the last two weeks I was talking to a local broker about how I had kept waiting to see the uptick in listings everyone says occurs once MF notices come out. While I'd been tracking MOC Lahaina winter listings since 4Q2016, he noted that even he was surprised at how few new...

Howdy all.... Thought I'd get a group opinion. We do Hawaii every year--two weeks for now, until retirement--and decided to shift our ownership. We're going to sell Waiohai and buy a different timeshare. We're considering our alternatives and trying to be open-minded. In a few years...

My fiancée Vanessa and I plan to honeymoon for two weeks in September and Hawaii is currently at the top of our list of possible destinations. At this point we're looking for advice on which island is likely best to meet our needs, after which we'll drill down into where exactly to stay. We're...

Hi all - We are staying at Wyndham Royal Sea Cliff this March, and I had a couple of questions I hope TUGgers can answer. 1) I read about a $150 mandatory "cleaning fee." We are Wyndham Owners and used our Wyndham points to book this reservation. They charge us "housekeeping points" for the...

Hi all, I know there is a county bus system that goes around the island main roads. We are considering this as waited too long to book a rental car. Just wondering if anyone has experience taking the local bus? Also, I know Uber or Lyft are on Maui, anyone ever seen one on Kauai? Or know of...

Does anyone have a general idea what closing costs should cost for a Hawaii resale week? Its been awhile since I purchased my 2 resale weeks in Hawaii but, it seems like closing fees were approximately $350.00 each and of course the resort transfer fee is in addition to the closing fees. I don't...

Hi All - New member here, so happy to have found this forum. I am headed to the Big Island of Hawaii and would love to buy a week. Ideally September 20 - 27. I am open to any property, anywhere on the island. It is just my wife and I so a small unit is fine. Please let me know if you have...

We are thinking of buying a TS at either Maui Ocean Club, Ko Olina, or Waiohai. I am wondering which one you like the best? What are the pros and cons of each? If you are an owner at one of these resorts and have done exchanges through II, what have you been able to exchange for? How easy has...

Many Tuggers say buy where you will stay and I have also read some posts indicating it is getting harder to trade within II since Marriott is trying to save space for its DP owners. We are trying to decide if we should buy a Marriott EOY 2 bedroom lockoff in Maui Ocean Club or Ko Olina or a 2...

i assume I got this from Marriott since I just closed on a MOC week. Is this the day tax the resort collects or something I need to file if renting out unit. I'm not sure yet, if Redweek or Vacation Candy deduct from rent and/or file. Experiences? NOTICE REGARDING HAWAII TAXES The State of...

Aloha everyone! I did not see a posting for RAVC, so I guess my first is about this one! I *guess* it is a resort-system as they have (besides Hawaii) locations in 4 mainland locations and 1 in Spain (used to have another in Nice, France). So, moving on: Royal Aloha Vacation Club is "Hawaii’s...

I'm booking a 1 bdrm suite for April in Hawaii and there are multiple options for units, eg. CD6 - CD8, CP5 - CP8. Do these mean anything? I called customer service and they said they are put that way of inventory purposes only, and have nothing to do with floor or building number. Is this...

By Kendra Pierre-Louis "The waters surrounding Hawaii's eight main islands contain more than 410,000 acres of living coral reefs. If strung together, the reefs would be bigger than Oahu, Hawaii's third largest island. And because of Hawaii's geographic isolation, the reefs support unique life...
