I want to live there, as well!
As I recall, the new units are going for about 50K for annual; 26K for every other year. They are 2 bedroom/2 bath. They are unbelievably beautiful. The decor is perfect...very glamorous and tasteful. (I find that often the decor is outdated and kind of ugly.)
I heard that they were 30% sold. While I was there, there was an article in the local paper about how the Hawaii tourism income plumetted in the latter half of 2008; it was record breaking in early 2008. So the entire year held firm, but only because of the first half of the year. However, the article said that timeshares were holding steady.
I'm watching the prices! Times are tough, though.
The resort was not packed while we were there, however, at the change of guests (Fri-Sat) it seemed there were more people checking in than had been there while we were there.
It is an amazing place.
