View from FA Los Cabos Phase II - 1910 1BR and a Devil Ray I caught on a boat trip out of the water. Shot from balcony looking to the right and leaning out to the left.

Views this morning from room 2260 (2 BR, OV) at the Lagoon Tower, Hilton Hawaiian Village. This is a corner room so it’s large (huge living room), located furthest toward the island side of the building.

Fourth of July fireworks at Ala Moana park viewed from penthouse balcony at Lagoon Tower.

View from OV 1 bdrn at Embassy Suites Waikiki beach walk. We used Hhonors points to extend a shortstay after Lagoon Tower. Upgraded to this room as Diamond elite. Hotel is okay, but prefer HGVC quality and full kitchen. Front deck smells of cooked fished in evening from Roy's rest.below. Side deck on beachwalk avoids smell. Free full breakfast and no resort fee unlike HHV. Close to action. Bottom photo: building with blue stripe is HGVC Hukulani up the street

I’m curious is this a HGVC Owners area or exclusively ELARA owners?

Good question! It says "owners area." I am not an Elara owner - I told them I was an owner and they allowed me access. I wasn't going to ask more questions...

Love Elara because of the location and amenities. It's my favorite resort on the strip. We've stayed at Grand Chateau (close second across the street), Blvd (nice but too far away), Grandview (too far away, a step down in quality) and several hotels. We own Paradise but use our points at Elara. Never stayed at Paradise or Flamingo or Trump so cannot judge relative to those resorts. Flamingo has the Big Pool, however that might be too much party scene for me.

Before the Apollo/Diamond I was considering picking up resale ownership at Elara to use and points elsewhere, but am now going to wait and see.

Hahaha I love this!! Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!!

I’m probably in agreement on the locations. ELARA is just right there in the middle of everything. and I’ve loved being able to use the Miracle Mile mall and the Planet Hollywood casino to escape the weather extremes sometimes.

We stayed at Trump last January - it is super opulent and definitely less “active” and buzzy than ELARA. Since HGV only has a partial inventory, there isn’t nearly the sales-y vibe as at ELARA or the Boulevard. There were a few small issues with our room that got fixed quickly. I don’t like how far Trump is away from the other things, but it is right across the street from Fashion Show mall which again you can cut through to get closer to other things. They also have a shuttle that runs over to the mall at the Wynn as well as to the Forum shops at Caesars Palace. And at least Trump is closer than the Boulevard. No casino either which was nice for us as we aren’t huge gamblers. Rooms, beds, and especially the bathrooms were luxurious - on a level with the Palazzo! But I would never own there because the maintenance fees are obscene

I guess you folks are talking about the upstairs cabana area? If so, the one time we did hang and get a cabana, we were invited up there as members as well. And the closest we own is Flamingo (hopefully not for long as Boulevard is entering the portfolio).

Cheers.

We would love to have grandkids. I have hear, though, that if one does not have kids, grandkids are tricky. Some sort of biology thing...

Cheers.

Oh, we have kids. Being a teacher, I have a 20 year old, a 16 year old, a 9 year old and about 160 10-12 year olds. The first three are going with us. The other 160? Nope. Our 3 bedroom won’t quite hold that many.

I thought our trip last year was a one time deal, but we have a 3 bedroom booked at Ocean 22 for 6/27 - 7/5.

Lol, we will be there 6/18 - 6/25. We talked about Orlando or Vegas, but everybody loved it so we are going again!

HGV Kings Land phase 3 one bedroom, building 24. To paraphrase Sarah, we can see Mt Haleakala from here.

They have a new resort map, conveniently left off the name of one building across from the Kings shops.

Its Ironman this weekend, the place is packed but not much activity around the pools during the day. They are all out running and biking the hwy to Kona. A bunch of skinny muscular fit people, bet they don’t have HBP issues.

Not necessarily true, actually. Even muscular, fit runners can have some level of HBP. I know of what I speak...

Cheers.
