    My favorite timeshare for the unit only is the Grand Beach Resort in Kissimmee Florida. We stayed in a 3 bedroom.

      It's definitely a personal opinion type of question. I've stayed in plenty of "partial kitchen" units & as long as there are decent barbecues on property, I'm fine with that. If we ate out everyday on vacation we couldn't afford to go as often as we do.

        Also, I really don't like eating every meal out. We're not big breakfast eaters so we prefer to eat breakfast in. Then we'll usually alternate lunches and dinners out. When our girls were small we ate in a lot.

          My favorite would be Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort. Traded in through SFX and then bought. The Tommy Bahama Hawaiiana decor interior, combined with the spacious lanai with overhead fan for outdoor dining... heaven.

          Runner up would be Marriott Harbour Club. Really spacious and comfortable two bedroom, nicely furnished, with big jacuzzis in both bedrooms... I ended up buying there but have since sold.
          I have always loved these units...sooo Hawaiian. On my list of where to stay next. I have only seen the units in pictures..but I've probably looked at hundreds of them. Just need to see them in person, now.

            1) Residence at the Crane, Barbados. This was the largest 1BR 2 bath unit I have ever stayed in with gorgeous Ocean front views. I think this 1Br was around 1,200 square feet plus nice balcony. All mahogony furniture with huge master BR and bath.

            Darn, I forgot about this one - and you are correct, a REALLY nice unit with a spectacular view

              They're really nice. Probably one of our favorite places in Kona. Only thing that would make them better is if they were on the water.

                Agree, but this was a "unit only" thread! Not much on the water on the BI, at least not in Kona, is there?

It is driving distance for us & our children & grandkids love to go with us. We exchange in at least once a year. The units are huge, with a large well equipped kitchen, washer & dryer, lots of closet space, comfortable furniture & with a large patio & easy parking. Sometimes we get a nice view, too.
                  It is the same for us plus something about LW relaxes me as soon as I walk in the door. Any clues to what it might be? I'm asking this because if I ever figure it out I will remodel my house to get the same feel.

                    True. Just a comment. And you are right, there aren't any timeshares that are really on the water in Kona.

                      Those units were originally built to be private condos but the builder sold to Welk Corporation that decided to go the timeshare route. They feel more like a home than most timeshares of the same caliber. They are arranged so that you aren't staring out at another building. And most units are only 2 stories. I really don't like the high rise timeshares. They feel too much like a hotel, all those long hallways. Last year we stayed in the new units up on the hill. The rooms are much, much smaller. Still very nice but they just don't have that homey feel the original units have.
