Fell in love with the place and purchased an every other yr 3 brdrm for best trade power. My lock out studio in Ko'Olina got me a 1 bedrm at Kauai Beach club. They told me that within the Hawaii timeshares they give preference. Just like the Fl timeshares w/in FL. It IS expensive if you intend to trade points, but for trade power, I was told ( and you can check the INT International book for demand) that the 3 Hawaii timeshares, (Maui, Waoihai-Kauai, and Ko'Olina ) had the highest demand and hence the highest trade power. Also, You Can get you 2 wks of vacation for trading one wk Hawaii. . They described the Waoihai resort as "the holy grail " of trades. Seems that putting the Hawaii resorts up against the Marriott residencies also had a better chance than other trades. Aruba seemed to be the next best trader (as per several different Marriott reps) I don't know, but it seems hard to go wrong with Hawaii !!!!
