I agree. That's why we want to get rid of our Hono Koa. Its a shame for us to make the choice because the resort is lovely, and we and our families have loved it there, but we can't get to Hawaii every other year and they offer no internal trading within their inventory. If we could trade to Vegas or FL, we'd probably keep it, but no go.
I'd stop paying the MF but then I read something about it screwing up probate after we die. That the estate can't be settled until the MF are brought current.
I did have a nibble on my give away ad on RedWeek, but then she figured out the MF was every year for an EOY week, and I haven't heard from her since.

Sucks, coz $2700 for 7 nights in a 2-bedroom ocean front condo on the west coast of Maui is a great deal. You aren't going to get OCEANFRONT for under $400/night. You just aren't, certainly not on Maui's west coast where you have unobstructed views of the whales and smaller islands. It's so sad coz we've been so happy with this resort, and I know that someone who can get there every other year would love it.
Maybe we'll get lucky and Soliel will get bought out, but I won't hold my breath."
