the message from WKORV is "we are asking all Owners and guests currently in Hawaii to strongly consider immediately returning home."
Seems like they want you to cut your stay short without compensation. Looks like that is the MVC / Vistana way.
Anyone else holding off cancelling to see if the policy changes?
We are. We have flights on April 9 and 25; 2 days were booked at Koloa Landing. They called DH yesterday to ask if he know about the quarantine, and he told them we are cancelling, which we did today. Since that was a Bonvoy redemption, the points are already back in his account.
I got an email from Hawaiian Air saying there is a 14-day quarantine for all people flying into Hawaii.... so I doubt you can actually go there now.

The quarantine is for 14 days or the length on one’s stay, whichever is shorter. The only bar to getting on island is flights - Hawaiian are stopping all but one LAX-HNL flight daily and on the news this morning I saw a story that the US carriers are considering a complete shutdown for awhile.
It truly boggles my mind that Marriott/Vistana are taking such a hard line. To close their resorts to non-owners while forcing owners into a Hobson’s choice is unconscionable. We are going to rebook for June; the rep I spoke with yesterday said that, because we made a home resort reservation (at WPORV), we can still deposit with II. We already own enough to stay for 8-12 weeks per year, depending on the resort, so the last thing we need to do is deposit. I would even take the Bonvoy points over that.
We have friends who are currently on island and have been there for two weeks. They were moving from a Marriott to an independent TS on the North Shore. The independent have asked them not to come, and Marriott will not allow them to extend their stay, even though they are owners and have the points to do it.
Would somebody please share the email addresses for the messages they are sending? Thanks!
