I don't think Shell has resorts on Maui. They have a great presence on Big Island, at Kona Coast and Mauna Loa, both very nice resorts. I love the Big Island...
On Kauai, they have the Kauai Coast at the Beachboy, it is in Kapaa, about 35-40 minutes from Poipu (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Many people like the location because it is central to both Poipu and Princeville. It is a tough trade without a Shell week.
It is not too early to try to swing an exchange to Maui, but you are going in prime time, and if you want an easier exchange you'd be better off with Shell. But you can place an ongoing request with RCI for Maui and Kauai for your dates, and see what comes up. The Sunterra resort in Poipu looks beautiful and is highly rated. The Sunterra on Maui is great, I stayed there and was very pleased. If you get a match with RCI, the week will be put on hold and you can either confirm or release it (if you place the request online... if you call, it works differently, and I think you're better off learning to use the RCI website and managing your requests yourself, as many of us have had very bad luck/experiences with RCI guides....)Comment

If you placed the request online, they may not call. If you get a match, it will be held online in your account, so you should check in every day or two; I'm not sure how long they are on hold before they releaseOriginally posted by jimmy d. View PostComment
