Has anyone been able to book a stay at the new MVC on the island of Hawaii that opens in 2017?
Has MVC actually started converting units into timeshare villas?
We are planning to go in 2018.

Yes, booked three weeks there for next Thanksgiving. I think they expect to open around May 2017. Cheers.

Did you use points or an II exchange?

I don't think your going to be able to do an II exchange. There are no weeks sold there. Only points. This is probably also true for other similar resorts such as Washington DC and San Diego. Anyone know for sure?

I doubt it will ever be very easy to get into 100% trust owned properties through Interval.
However, the Pulse properties do appear occasionally as Interval Getaways / Exchanges and maybe the new Hawaii resort will too.
They will always be far more accessible using Points though.

MVC Washington DC has been bulk deposited about 6 months ago. I have not paid attention to San Diego in II nor have I noticed in Sightings postings.
