I own a one-bedroom at Nanea. You mean when I show up next January they are gonna hound me to go to one of these? LOL! fat chance. Fool me once....
I'm sorry you're so bitter. It's coming across very loud and clear.
Your bitterness and regret won't get your money back. It will ruin your vacations if you let it.
As a friendly and kind gesture, I suggest you focus on using and enjoying your vacations. The resort is a very nice (looking, I've not stayed there) resort and the area is idyllic.
As I've said before, I'm glad we rescinded, cancelled and bought resale. But, I often feel that I would have spent more quality vacation time--time that is now lost to me--with kids and family if we had just purchased from the developer years ago. Money comes and money goes....but the kids grow older and those opportunities with family and friend do NOT ever come back.
The resorts will not 'hound' you for updates, but they will certainly use every resource to offer you incentives for updates at every turn. Check-in, hang tags, free food, courtesy desks etc.... Don't answer the phone, reply to the voicemail if required. (use cell phones for personal communications)
If you say no, and please don't ask again.....then it generally stops. Firm, resolute politeness is the correct response. If you feel that your vacation is being denigrated or imposed-on by the folks trying to 'up-sell' you, then simply, politely ask to speak to a manager. Explain that your vacation is being impacted, negatively, by sales efforts. Get the name, time, date and details. If you are still being pursued or inhibited, then call corporate and get a real person on the phone. Not a lowly, hourly phone operator, but an actual CS rep in corporate. Send the information including the manager's name, date, time comments etc.... This will likely cure your problem for quite a while.
My opinion? Be firm, polite and stoic. "No thank you, I'm not interested....please do not ask me or my party during the rest of our visit? Thank you!" This is likely all you need. The employees will prefer polite honesty over angry retorts etc....
Enjoy your time....it's an amazing opportunity to be able to vacation on Maui that most people dream about.
Time is fleeting.....
