Hawaii: King's land 2BR 6/6 vs 6/4 size difference?

[elaine]

update---It appears the 6/4 is older section which has shower only in 2nd bath.

hi. what is the difference between King's land that sleeps 6/6 vs. 6/4 (per RCI)? The 6/4 says: Unit square footage: 1269. Does this mean it's Phase I?
I'm assuming the 6/4 has 2 king beds--or is it just a smaller unit with the 2nd BR still having 2 beds or just old info? I also want to confirm it's not a Q in 2nd BR. Also, is floorplan/size the same? any reason to choose 6/6 over 6/4 for 2 couples? location, different bathrooms, etc.?

You must be referring to the RCI description since HGVC doesnt use 6/6 or 6/4.

HGVC has 3 phases, there are subtle differences. Phase 2 and some phase 3 are smaller with lower grade furnishings.

In all cases the 2br units have 2 beds in the second bedroom, none are King/King or King/Queen.

the 6/4 says square footage: 1269, and 1 3/4 baths, so would that be Phase 1?

correct. They usually put RCI exchangers in buildings 1 or 2.

thanks for quick update. So Phase 1 would be a better choice than 2/3 if I have the option?

Most people prefer the phase 1 location and higher end furnishings and larger units.

I prefer phase 2 but its because I use HGVC points and I can stretch and stay longer for less points.

Are you referring to one BR units or 2 BR units. Some one BR units have 2 double beds in Master bedroom so could potentially sleep 6 people.

 

[elaine]

thanks for replies. It appears the 6/4 is older section which has shower only in 2nd bath.

I'm struggling with the same question.
I confirmed Kings Land, 2 6 6 and it says 1069 sq ft and "No washer/dryer" in the unit.
The unit which says 2 4 6 shows the 1269 sq ft and says it has a washer/dryer. I can deal with the smaller unit size, but lack of washer / dryer surprised me.
Are there any units without washer/dryer?

[elaine]

thanks for the sticky. We're going with the 6/4 for the slightly bigger floorplan as we might have 2 couples. But, I'd take any buildings.

 

[HudsHut]

@GT75 Thank you. That was a very informative sticky. I appreciate all the work you put in to organize that information.
I still have the question about the washer/dryer in the 2 6 6 units. On my computer, the floor plan becomes blurry when I expand it.

 

[bizaro86]

Empirically, I have booked a 2 6 6 in the past and been placed in phase 1, the larger units.

All the units at Kings Land have washer/dryers inside, RCI descriptions are crap.

I completed an RCI exchange for a 2 bedroom sleeps 6/privacy 6 at Kings Land for November 2021. RCI does not give additional details to the unit other than it is 1069 sq feet and has NO washer/dryer. Looking at Kings Land website, I see no such listing for such a unit and they remain closed until October 2nd. Unfortunately, I only have until September 14th to change this reservation without forfeiting the exchange fees. On another site, a 2 bedrooms PLUS is listed as adults only and we are going to be traveling with two teens (18,15) Laundry is a must for us. Does anyone have any details to offer on this location?

 

[rickandcindy23]

Two king beds in those, usually, plus the sofa sleeper, and our unit did have a washer/dryer with our trade via RCI. I don't think I have ever stayed in a Hilton 2 bedroom that didn't have a washer/dryer.

 

[frank808]

All Kings Land 2brbunits have washer/dryer in room. The only 2br units in Hawaii that do not have washer/dryer in room is at Hilton Hawaiian Village Lagoon Tower.

We have stayed at Kings' Land and can confirm, as per frank808, that all units have an in-unit washer dryer.

The reference to a 1,069 sq. ft. 2-bdrm would indicate it is a larger "F layout" (vs. "K layout). If you take a look at post #37 in the sticky at the top of the HGVC forum showing additional resort details, you can find lots of extra information for Kings' Land, including layouts of all the units.

I am also not aware of any age restrictions anywhere at Kings' Land, other than the adult pool section of the main pool complex by the club house. Sites other than HGVC itself (such as RCI) often have inaccurate information in them IME. Kings' Land is very popular with families with children and the main pool complex even has a separate children's pool and play area, so restrictions in a particular unit would seem to make no sense.

If you are travelling with two teens, you might want to request before arrival that the second bedroom have two queens/doubles rather than a second king bed. I'm actually not sure if there are any 2-bdrms. with a king in both bedrooms at Kings' Land, but it won't hurt to specify it. Most second bedrooms are doubles/queens, IME. Staff are very good at fulfilling requests where they can.

Thank you for your helpful information. I am brand new to this forum and unsure how to access post #37.

Hi, Elaine. Did you ever get a clarification on the difference between the 2 bedroom description# on RCI? I have booked the 2 bedroom that states 6/6 but claims there is no washer and dryer. We must have one for our family!

@Robfam63

Based on the thread above, the RCI description is incorrect. All two bedrooms have a washer and dryer.

Kings’ Land has 3 phases I, II & III.
· Phase I only contains the larger 2 Bd rooms (RCI is calling this 6/4)
· Phase II only contains the smaller 2 Bd rooms. (RCI is calling this 6/6)
· Phase III contains both size rooms which is split 50/50 between Phase I/II room sizes
