Oahu's Lifetime in Hawaii Review?

[Timeshare Von]

I was just in the reviews section and cannot seem to find the review page for Lifetime in Hawaii. Did it get deleted or something . . . or am I'm just missing it?

I think TUG refers to it as Royal Kuhio. RCI number 1138.

Here's the TUG page: http://tug2.com/RnR/TabResortDescription.aspx?ResortGUID=80a3fb1d-71bb-483e-b432-c44985a6c948

Hope this helps,

It used to be its own listing. As an owner there, I had contributed a review on it under/as Lifetime in Hawaii.

Yes Diamond Resorts (and one other t/s group) has units in this highrise in Waikiki, but I would suggest that TUG go back to showing them separately rather than lumped under one developer/POA.

Actually, after reading your review, and seeing how affordable the MFs are, I may be shopping there myself. I lived on Oahu for my high school years, and know the island very well. Owning a Waikiki resort that is modest but affordable is something I'd very much like to do, since it'd be a launching pad for what I'd be out doing. Add in free parking for owners, and what's not to like?

MF's have creeped up in the last year or two. We may be up to $350 now, I don't remember. It's still a bargain, however, especially if you book far enough in advance and get a 1BR unit (although the studios are not bad either).

M.F's for Lieftime in Hawaii are $385 for 2010

Yep I was just coming here to post now that I'm home and could look up what the MF's are. Even at $385 they are a bargain in my opinion.

The fees jumped a couple of years ago when the Royal Kuhio raised their prices on fees . . . plus the Lifetime in Hawaii POA did a full interior remodel and updating of the units in our group.

The MF history since we've purchase has been:

2003 $289
2004 $299
2005 $299
2006 $299
2007 $315
2008 $335
2009 $360
2010 $385
