Anyone have any idea about how far along Hilton is with sales? And when did it first go on sale? I ask because I'm curious how lucky I might get to be able to reserve a 2 bdrm unit during the club season (when the tower opens). If they are, say 40% sold, than theoretically, I think, that 60% (minus any Hilton holdbacks) of the units are available to non GW owners at 9 months out.
Don't know the answer to your questions but it should be very easy to book during the 1st year due to ongoing sales and new owners not understanding the importance of booking their home resort before club season opens. Also the higher point requirement may reduce the number of existing owners attempting to reserve at this new location.
Don't know the answer to your question. I do know that we purchased GW in April 2007 - penthouse. I think it was October or November 2007 that we received a letter informing us that all penthouse weeks were sold.
(I released 1 of our weeks a few months ago, so that one should be available...)
I was trying to extend our Dec stay using the new web site and had to call the HGVC due to a glitch. They helped me out and got us into the Grand waikikian for Dec. 6th. I was told that is the day it will be opening. Looking forward to checking it out. We got a 1br for 3 days attached to our 2 br in the Lagoon tower.
My guess might be a fair share of Waikikian owners are staying at the Lagoon or Kalia tower as they are a fraction of the points that are required at the new tower.
That is why I believe there is such a hard time right now finding Oahu units.
Once the tower opens some Waikikian owner will want to stay at "THEIR" timeshare and book there, but I think that there will always be a portion of owners that will book at the other Oahu properties because of the point difference.
I also own at Wyndham and the same thing happens at Myrtle Beach. The new resort Ocean Blvd opened but it is nearly double the points of the other other but still very nice property Seawatch Plantation. A significant portion of the Ocean Blvd owners book at Seawatch to make their points go farther. It is further complicated at Wyndham because they let all Myrtle Beach owners book at the HOME window resort to any of the Myrtle Beach owners to any of the resorts. So now what happens in Seawatch is booked solid and Ocean Blvd has better availability. It has more units but at double the price a lot of Ocean Blvd owners book at Seawatch to stretch their points farther.
I have to suspect that a fair % of Waikikian owners are doing the same.
