In quarantine Marriott Maui

[mjm1]

Beautiful morning from inside our roomView attachment 21809

Glad to hear and see that you made it! Great view. Thanks for sharing your photos.

I am very sorry to hear about the cleanliness, or lack thereof, of the unit. We own an OF unit there and have never experienced that ourselves.

My DW asked if you are able to go out onto the lanais? I assume you can, but would you please confirm that? As you mentioned the large picture window in the living area is great, and you can open the windows a bit, but it isn’t the same as being out on the lanai.

Enjoy your unit and the view. Hopefully 14 days go by quickly and then you will be free to wander when you want for 5 weeks.

Best regards.

Mike

Yes, our quarantine extends to our location which includes our room & lanai. If I owned a house with private yard I could be outside in my own private yard. But....I’m in a very nice full condo with 2 Lanais here at MM1. Housekeeping brought us some disinfectant wipes so we can clean up our lanais ourself.

End of day 1

Please don't take this request the wrong way, but I'd be very interested in hearing how you feel about the quarantine experience at the end of the 14 days.

Strange how our highly reactive counter culture has caused us to feel the need to apologize in advance for asking such a simple straight forward question with no mal intent in it.

I'm struggling to find how there *could* be any mal intent? Maybe I'm misinterpreting but I thought the question had to do with how much the OP might feel like climbing the walls after two weeks in a unit?

I think I'm just getting super sensitive about things being misinterpreted.

Absolutely. Happy to share and no offense taken. Day 2, everything is fine. Not going crazy so far, but the ocean front view helps tremendously. Without a view and my feelings might be way different.

Looks like we will be getting an email every day reminding us of the requirement to go online and state we are abiding to the quarantine in our designated location and 3 health questions, for each person under quarantine. Doesn’t take much time, but must do for 14 days straight. 2 down and 12 to go.

good thing we have the view, and netflix on the big screen TV,as we brought our HDMI cord to hook up to the TV.

Person in orange vest, Security (?) person to make sure people don’t come onto Marriott property and/or catch violators of quarantine? I’ll have to ask after out of quarantine

 

[Luanne]

When/if you need more food and supplies is there someplace you can call? Was the personal shopper you used when you first arrived from Marriott? Can you do restaurant delivery?

 

[rickandcindy23]

I am green with envy over here.

Thank you for taking us along on your journey! Your ability to piece together 7 weeks at MOC right now feels like a victory for us all. We have been owners there since 2002 so I can picture the sights, sounds and smells of where you are at. I rarely post, but had to say thank you because I am vicariously experiencing Maui with you. Like so many on this board we have had to cancel several upcoming trips because of the virus and this helps a little for me.

We have 12 days on Maui planned for next March. Hopefully we get to go.

The view and nice accommodations, combined with knowing you will be staying for another 5 weeks should definitely help make this more bearable. The thing I would miss most is being able to exercise. It would be nice if the resort would provide exercise equipment while you are confined.

I think we can order from Safeway, but haven’t tried it yet. We used our personal shopper to get stuff from both Costco & Safeway. Haven’t explored dining delivery since we need to eat all the food we bought to last 14 quarantine days first.

Recent research has now shown that asymptomatic people are unlikely to transmit COVID 19, so hopefully the mask requirements and quarantine policies will be modified soon. Good luck and hang in there.

Yesterday I got a 45 minute walk circling the living area, bathroom and master bedroom! Today was stomach crunches, and lazy pushups for some strength, then some walking in place while watching Netflix. Now.....just enjoying the view. Same view, never gets old.

I actually thought about asking to borrow exercise equipment, but I’m not that bold. I mean I’m not finding it that hard to be in isolation, although only day 2. But it’s still a long ways to day 15. I told my spouse that it’s either go to jail (breaking quarantine) or go home, if she gets stir crazy. I think we’ll stick it out for 12 more days.

 

[rickandcindy23]

We have been isolating at home quite a bit, especially since the 3rd week of March, and it was fine, and my view wasn't as good as yours! Now we are out and about more, but I could sit on a lanai all day and eat healthy food and be just fine. I really could.

We go to Maui for 3 weeks and 5 days in February-March. If we have to self quarantine for the first two weeks, I will be okay with it. We pay huge MF's for our Hono Koa oceanfront views. Rick and I are going to make the best of it.

The sounds of the sea and some good red wine would help me get through it. Hopefully there are birds and occasional dolphin or whales to add entertainment.

day 2. Looks familiar, but never gets old.

 

[frank808]

You should be able to request a vacuum for the room given the low occupancy. We have been at Ko Olina since March 24th and in the same room since March 29th. The staff provided a vacuum upon request and it's still with us.

Would you mine coming to our room to vacuum ?

Or you can just pass it over the lanai as it might be easier.

Glad you made it OP. Just 12 more days of quarantine.

Sorry for the threadjack...I just couldn't help myself.

You can also try Instacart. Here on Oahu, instacart shops at Costco, Safeway etc.

Great View!!!! Enjoy - soon even more!!!

It looks FABULOUS!!! The pics are AMAZING!! Have a great time!! The next thing you know the 2 weeks will be up and u will have the rest of the time

 

[BobG7734]

Love the pics....we (with family and grandkids) were there for 3 weeks in Feb-Mar, just getting home before everything hit. One of the best vacations we ever had. The whales shows were unbelievable...I could sit on the lanai for 2 weeks just watching them!
Enjoy the 7 weeks and thanks for the updates!

I was out walking yesterday and the guards at either end are making sure that only people on foot are coming through the path. There is a sign saying that no bikes, skateboards, etc can come through the path in front of the Marriott.
