Westin Nanea - observations

[vacationtime1]

Thanks for the reply. Here are two questions: 1. In Westin Nanea, which one is easier to rent out, 1BR or 2BR (both resort view) villa? 2. You said you used Redweek to rent yours out, I have used Redweek too but never used TUG to rent out. Any insights about the pros and cons using Redweek as opposed using TUG to rent Westin Nanea weeks? Look forward to any replies.

I've rented units using each. No reason not to advertise in both; it increases your exposure at minimal price.

Just a little more information. Just got back from our stay at Nanea and a presentation. They are currently at 47% filled (though the second time I inquired later on in the presentation, he bumped it to 50% filled).

Do you mean 47/50% sold?

No, I believe it's 47% sold. I took the reference of 50% as the sales rep rounding the percentage up.

Nanea has 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units. Most are 2 bedroom. One-bedroom units are hard to come by.

Also, their bedrooms do not have lockoffs so a one bedroom is only a one bedroom, their two is only a two, etc. I enjoyed their 2 bedroom stay (went in late August). The developer pricing is just really steep especially for a non-manadatory resort.

I have two weeks (each, 2 bedroom villa) of Westin Nanea to be rented in July 2019. As of now, it seems there are 3 options to post them:
1. Redweek
2. TUG
3. VRBO
Which one would be most recommended for a Hawaii/Maui week in July? Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Robert, did use Redweek or TUG or VBRO to rent them out?

I don't own Nanea so I have never rented it out. I have rented out other Hawaii units with TUG and Redweek.

VRBO is significantly more expensive, and the rental rules favor the renter. Personally, I wouldn't use it.

I use both Redweek and TUG.

Is there a map or doc which shows where the 2-br OF units are located at Nanea? My understanding is that there are only eight of them, and based on the room floorplans and pictures, it looks to me that they are the N/S front corner units of Bldg 4. This means they are set back and look over the main pool area and including some rooftops. But I don't which info is accurate. TIA

 

[DeniseM]

It may take a little work to decipher this map - it looks like there are 10 2bd. OF, in Bldg. 4, and 6 2bd. OF, in Bldg. 8.

 

[DavidnRobin]

Based on the resort map - it looks as if the 2Bd OF are in 1x14, 4x10 and 8x10.
Not sure how B6 would be OF.
B4 OF rooms look like they are only the top 3-4 floors - so that would only be 15-16 2Bd OF Villas.

We were in Building 2 on the outside. Although not tecnically OF, had a nice side view of the ocean.

 

[DavidnRobin]

I think the discussion was on the 2Bd villas that were designated as OF.

 

[CalGalTraveler]

Based on those maps, it appears that the 3 Bdrm OF and the 2 Bdrm Center OF have fabulous views. Others, not so much. However the OF at the end of Bldg 4 are probably similar to the OF at Hyatt Kaanapali that over look the pool then the ocean.

The hallways at Nanea would be a great setting for a horror movie.

the person that choose the carpets and wall color should not be in the design profession.

They really need a more quiet method for the Shuttle turnaround- that beeping reverberates throughout the entire section of Nanea in that area - especially with the parking structure.

The person who designed the entire resort should be fired!

For what it's worth, we were told the carpets in the hallways represent the different colors of sand on the island.

It is not the carpets - the painting scheme clashes (esp with doors as same color as walls - same color as carpets) and lighting is odd.
Walking down our hall has a weird optical illusion effect often used in horror movies, or dream sequences.

Not sure how B6 would be OF.

Sorry - I wasn't very clear and I edited my post above: The map I posted was given to a 3 bdm. OF owner at the time of purchase - not sure if things have changed since then, but according to the map:

Bldg. 1 - the OF units are all 3 bdm.
Bldg. 4 - 10 units, 2Bd. OF (2nd floor and higher?)
Bldg. 8 - 6 units, 2Bd. OF (not Bldg. 6)

It would be strange if they gave owners a map at purchase, and then made material changes later, but you know sales people...

Yah, not sure why they don't just use the porte corchere to loop around instead of going to the end of the road by the park, and then backup and turn around

The CCRs will list the exact units and types.

I looked tonight - based on floor plans (balconies) - the 2 true OF buildings look like the 3Bds are on corners and the 2Bd in center. The balconies are 2-1-2 with the 2Bd having a single balcony.
