If I didn't buy Marriott just recently, I would consider Hyatt, this property. I'm still considering

This is how people wind up owning multiple timeshares (and frequently loving it).

The HOA is selling some units at a good price but not many left and no floating weeks

What is considering a good price? Also from your message I understand that floating weeks are better choice? How much is Hyatt early dues? Thank you so much.

To me, a good price is anything less than what is readily available on Redweek.

Floating weeks are an incredible value! I love mine and am so happy I got it.

I agree with you. I think HOA wouldn't have price that lower than Redweek

With a floating week, the owner needs to plan 12 months ahead of the desired week. Some people don't like to plan that far ahead. When you do, the reward is very nice.

Kal, do you own on Maui or exchanging into it?
I thought that set week costs more but like floating concept and don’t mind reserving in advance.
I wonder if anyone was ever successful in exchanging from Marriott into Hyatt Maui???

Yes, I own at HKB, floor band 9-12, 2BR, Floating. The floating week should be priced higher as you have your choice of week to stay. You just have to confirm the week you want well in advance. First come, first served so confirming the week 12 months in advance makes it a sure thing. A request list is not needed. You can request unit location specifics and it's almost assured.

What an amazing resort you are an. owner of!!! We checked out yesterday and I can’t stop thinking of that place. We own Marriott and I split 2 bedrooms so will have 2 weeks a year and I don’t need more so not sure what to do now and how to get into Hyatt.

Unless you want to buy resale, your best bet is to rent from an owner. If the rental is $600/nite, that's about the owner's break even cost. It may seem expensive, but that's Maui. Renting will save you the up front capital costs, but you would have no skin in the game. Real estate prices in Maui are skyrocketing so it would be nice to be in the game.

Read up on the Points guy or 10xtravel to learn about ultimate reward credit card points of which Hyatt is a partner. We often add to our stays at the Residence club before or after or to fill a gap. It works well.

Yes I’m only considering resale. I went to presentation and not ready to pay their asking price
I’m so thankful for Redweek and their prices I rented this stay from them. I can’t decide which week to buy and 1 or 2 bedrooms…

I have Chase Reserve card but don’t think Hyatt is partner with them. I will look into points guy info. Thank you.
How was your stay? I planned a lot but once we checked into Hyatt and got on the balcony, our plans changed. We enjoyed just staying there for a week

Bear in mind that 1BR oceanviews are few and far between so be sure you are aware of the view and the band (low, mid, high) for 1BRs. All 2BRs are oceanview, but definitely keep the band in mind. Mid and High would be desirable, low not as much for us.

Yes I’m going to consider that. Thank you.

The veranda on the 2BR is huge as there is also a full opening in the BR! Then consider the glass veranda doors open over the full width of the LR is really special. You don't get that with a 1BR.

The 2BR patio is very large and a great place to sit and enjoy! The 1BR patio (ocean view) is also very nice, but about half the size of the 2BR patio.

** I have since been corrected, the 1BR patio is the same size as the 2BR!!

Is that true? I’ve stayed in both and the 1 bedroom patio seemed almost the same size as the 2 bedroom.

 

[travelove]

I stayed in 3502; furthest right and next to us was 2 bedroom, their patio was the same size. I also asked housekeeper of that suite and she said that patio is the same size.

Chase Reserve is definitely a partner with Hyatt hotels. I transfer Chase points to Hyatt all the time at 1:1.

You can see the right stack of oceanview 1 bedrooms has the same size lanai with opening doors
in bedroom and living room.
