YET Again ...New truths...Smoking ban so clear last year is "Voluntary" this year at KBV . (by Mary L R.):

the manager agrees that Hawaii state law requires no smoking in public areas including up to 20 feet from stairwells and front door of units..yet oddly asserts that lanais and patios attached to the same buildings do not count. (Translation: its easier NOT to enforce such a ban . Maybe its up to the KBV resort and its easier to let people staying here duke it out or complain to each other etc than risk having to enforce anything ..particularly if it means KBV is liable if it does not enforce a ban and someone with allergies or asthma might take legal action...so if they can just not be involved by defining lanai or balcony as "private" they will . If you smoke IN a unit, you will be charged (maybe) a fee by KBV who will use it to offset cleaning costs...but if you move into a unit ..even if you OWN that unit for your week, you may have to live with lingering smoke smell or have to request another unit. The Smoke free resort thing is not the case anymore because VOLUNTARY nonsmoking means SMOKING . That means if you like to be out on your lanai and a neighbor smokes its YOUR problem.
