Any owners at Hanalei Bay Resort? Considering buying a week (by Matthew B.):
Hi, and thanks in advance for those that answer.
I'm considering the purchase of a week at the resort. Possibly either one of the one bedroom or two bedroom units. I'm curious about other owners and their experiences. If you are an owner there, how hard is it to get the week you seek there? Our intent would be to stay and not exchange.
We already have a week at Marriott Waiohai and a week at Marriott Kauai Beach club on Kauai. So far we've always stayed there and haven't traded yet. The intent would be to add a week and we'd need to coordinate the two visits. My wife works for a school, so we have to go between the middle of June to the first week of August, pretty high demand times. Booking two weeks lets us grab the units 13 months with the Marriott properties and so far, we've always been able to get the exact week we choose as I'm on the phone within an hour of the window opening.
Is this similar with HBR? Are people able to nail down the exact week? What's the timeline look like for booking in advance? Any other comments as owners?
How are the weeks structured? With our current resort, they're structured as Fri-Fri, Sat-Sat or Sun-Sun, our choice. Is HBR the same?
