    2019 Points Reservation

    I don't use the Points program, but I have an enrolled week which would allow me to rent points. (Unfortunately that week only generates 550 points and is deposited with II until 2020.) I have a two week 2019 MOC reservation string that is Sat-Sat, then Sun-Sun, which leaves Saturday, 23 Feb...

    Pitfalls of buying resale

    Good day, all! I am an owner at Westin Nanea. I pre purchased from the developer in October of 2016. I am using my timeshare and am happy to have it. I am considering purchasing more. Nanea wants to sell me the other half (EOYE) for 26k, or I can get WKORV for 33k. That being said, I want...

    Which is your favorite Marriott TS in Hawaii?

    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...

    Marriott Hawaii Trading Power in II

    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...

    Maui Lahaina/Napili Original Pricing or TSing 10 years ago...

    I apparently have way too much time on my hands, and continue to be flabbergasted by the asking (and selling) price of winter fixed weeks and the dearth of July fixed weeks for comparison on Redweek ...so I decided to take a history class...

    DRI exchange Hyatt Kaanapali, 2 times in a year. Why can I

    see photos. I am seeing something weird. I read all these angry reviews but I exchanged into the Hyatt 2 times in a row. Developer points. Not resale. Is II seeing them as different. Thoughts?

    Maui Feb Reservations

    I've digested all the Maui threads and have had some great help via PMs from folks. I'm struggling with whether to drop a ridiculous amount of money into 2-3 Lahaina 2BR OF fixed weeks or stick to the old buildings. We actually like the old buildings but, ... For those long-time users that...

    Maui President's Week Rental

    I know everyone considers President's Week a prime week, but it doesn't look like it really pulls a premium rental fee, though I suppose it might rent easier overall. For those that have rented out (or In I suppose) a 2BR OF in either old or new units I'd be interested in your experience on...

    Help! Going to Marriott Maui Ocean Club in may

    I've never been to the Maui ocean club- Trip Advisor has some pretty awful reviews about construction and out dated rooms in certain areas of the resort. Anyone have any helpful advice as to where I should request to be located? I'm also an executive level so I don't know if that helps me out...

    Hyatt Kaanapali: Beach with good snorkeling?

    Going to Maui for an extended weekend at the end of Feb and staying at Hyatt Residence Club for two of the nights. Is the beach in front of the resort decent for snorkeling, or do we have to drive to Black Rock Beach at Sheraton to do so? I guess we were very spoiled by the great snorkeling in...
