I just got back from a week at the Kaanapali Beach Resort (formerly Embassy, now Sunterra???) and was completely impressed with the attitudes of my fellow vacationers at that resort. I rented this week from another tugger. I have been visiting Hawaii at least yearly for almost 20 years, and have never had this great of experience with other travelers staying at a resort. Everyone smiled, tried to help each other, struck up friendly conversations, had a positive attitude. I have never seen anything like it. I tend to be a positive person, and I loved being surrounded by others of like mind. The resort was nice, but I have stayed at nicer......so I don't think that is it. I would love to bottle it though! I went with a girlfriend, and she commented on it too. Everyone had an upbeat approach and it was terrific. Does anyone have a theory as to why this was so? I have been on vacations with other female friends, my husband, other couples, etc., to various islands and many different resorts, and this was a first. Just curious if anyone has ideas as to why? We own at the Maui Schooner, and it is an older more reserved crowd there. They tend to be nice also, but nothing like this! Thoughts?
