Best exchange Co. for Maui in August?

[Conan]

RCI doesn't seem to have much desirable inventory in Maui - - but because I had RCI points to spare I booked a week (August 2010) at Kuleana Club.

Meanwhile, I need to find a second Maui week to precede the week I already have.

My notes on 'what's good in Maui' say to look for:

Maui Lea at Maui Hill
Kaanapali Beach Club
Sands of Kahana
Outrigger Palms Wailea
WorldMark Kihei

What exchange co. is most likely to have one of these for August 2010 ?
[and how good or bad is Kuleana Club?]

Thanks

If you're interested in Maui Lea at Maui Hill, check with Trading Places Maui @ www.tpmaui.com. It is the in-house exchange company for the resort.

They do not charge a membership fee.

Kuleana Club

We stayed there three or four years ago. We were reasonably pleased with it. It is a small property, older than some, but clean. If you are accustomed to staying in properties like Marriott and Hiltons, it won't be up to your standards. However, if you want a clean place in a good location, you will be ok. If you can get into a building down near the water, that would be preferable. We were not able to do so, as I understand those units are saved for owners, not for exchangers. The unit we were in was near the road and the bedroom is on the road side of the unit. There was road noise during the night, until very late. And, the view from the lanai was beautiful. I have only stayed in this timeshare unit on Maui, but should I plan to go there again and that is what come up for exchange, I would stay there. Plus, while we were on Maui we were out going and doing constantly, spending very little time in the unit.

This must have changed. I've only ever exchanged into the Kuleana Club and each time we had a unit on the water. I do agree that the units are small, and dark and unless things have changed there were no laundry facilities in the units (there was a separate laundry room, which may be coin operated).

We own at Maui Hill, so I'm prejudiced about that resort and the units there.
