My parents are kindly gifting my fiancé and I a stay using their HGVC points for our honeymoon.
We are looking for a quiet, private honeymoon. In an ideal world, we would like to relax and swim and eat and drink with good service. I’d like to snorkel, and we’re not opposed to *some* adventurous activities. A helicopter tour looks like a once in a lifetime experience! But mostly we would just like to relax.
Originally, I was hoping to churn/rack up enough points to book a private villa or plunge pool room somewhere so we can be private and just fully relax. I understand the HGVC properties won’t have those kinds of amenities with the rooms, but using this gift from my parents would open the door for us to use the points for flights in a premium cabin, and to save more cash we can use for food and activities!
I have been looking at the following properties in Hawaii, but are there any other properties that would be recommended for a honeymoon? Many of the other options look to be too busy/family oriented.
- The Point at Poipu Kauai
- Maui Bay Villas
I am leaning toward the Maui Bay Villas because they appear to be more updated and have a larger pool area and a beach. I understand there is still some construction and would likely still be some construction around our honeymoon (early June 2025). I’ve also seen that people love the Point at Poipu, and have also seen that there are some issues with new construction blocking some views.
Or, am I making the wrong choice going with a HGVC for honeymoon? Should I try to use points/cash instead for a different hotel and just fly economy?
