Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort questions

[EnglishmanAbroad]

Have you actually done this? The timeshares and hotels don't share amenities to my knowledge.

I have definitely eaten at both the Sheraton and Westin hotels and charged to my villa at WKORVN but not for a few years, maybe 2015 was the last time.

Yup, same. I think they stopped this a few years ago, though.

When we purchased this was touted as a benefit. I believe it was called Stay One Play All. That including the ability to charge between the villas and hotels stopped I believe in 2014. You can still charge between all three of the villas properties.

I thought the play piece ended well before that, just around the time the N property was completed but charging continued afterwards.

I believe you are right but it didn't end as early as the N property completion because the first year of the N's completion was our first year of ownership/occupancy of WKORN. But it probably ended a year or two later.

Correction: the Oceanfront Deluxe units have two Lanais: a large lanai that directly faces the ocean, with the same exact view as the center units, and a 2nd lanai on the studio that faces north or south, looking up or down the beach.

Note: for OFD studio - this entire area are windows. The wall is entirely two large windows (no other studio has this).

What! The studio no longer has a bed? That can't be good!

Sunny! He loves to snooze with the owners! Glad you found a lounge chair with a bonus cat.

Hard to believe that the palm trees are now up to the top floor. Trees are good, but I think they could trim them more often.

To keep them healthy Palm trees should only be trimmed once a year at most and I believe they do that.

Good to know Sunny is still around and is being taken care very well. Such a cute fat cat. I can't wait to see Sunny again in the summer

 

[LahainaMoon]

Sunny and many, many others are fed daily Terry and Mike who work with Kristi's Catitude.

Richard is the black and white, and Casper is the fluffy white with grey. We love all of the kitties.

Helani lives by the Helani spa, and Cinnamon Jake hangs out close to there near the koi pond area at the entrance to Pulehu. They are all friendly and well cared for.

Looks like he did too much partying the night before!! We just spent 6 weeks at KORV, and Sunny was the highlight of our trip! Oh, to be a cat at the resort!!! Such a great life!

As long as this has become a cat thread

Semi serious comment. I dont get the obsession with the roaming cats. Not trying to be rude but the way some people react to the cats that are on property seems odd, as if they have never seen a cat before. I dont know after traveling 10 plus hours I dont think I would encourage my young children to pet or hold a ferrel cat.

I would guess feral cats are tolerated as they assist in controlling rat and wild boar populations.

You are apparently not a cat person? By the looks of them, they certainly are not feral.

 

[Kildahl]

I would call them "campus" or "resort" cats. They meet the part of the definition of feral but for the recluse characteristic. However I would be reluctant to move them or take them to a vet for needed shots.

Could they herd the Nenes at WPORV ?

Or perhaps stray cats. Looking up the differences between stray and feral, these cats certainly do not meet the definition of feral. They are certainly very social where feral cats are mostly fearful of humans. If the resort is feeding them, perhaps they are also obtaining veterinary care for them in some way. Perhaps a vet that comes on site to checkup?

The resident cats are well taken care of and receive veterinary care, shots, etc. I know of one of the cats (Big Red) who was adopted out, and I know that one family had wanted to adopt Casper, but then that didn't work out. Casper was hit by an electric scooter or bike of some kind (illegal and not allowed on the path), and required surgery and rehab care. The cats are cared for by Kristi's Catitude, and I know they welcome donations.

Casper will sit on your lap and fall asleep, Sunny loves to sleep next to folks on their loungers, and Richard will sleep next to you, too. Helani likes people and Cinnamon Jake loves to rub against your legs.
