  • Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club

    I checked in last night and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the unit we were assigned has a terrific view. I have a partial oceanview, a view of one of the interior pools and the waterfall koi pond all of which I can see from the living room sofa. I tried to post some pictures, but the Marriott internet connection won't let me do it again. I'll post a few pictures when I can. In my opinion, this is the best resort on Kauai. That is until they finish the Westin in Princeville.

    I can't believe this unit cost $310.96 on an accommodation certificate. I wonder if the post card companies ever tell this side of the story?

    I got $29 fares, but Go just announced $19 fares earlier this week. Couple that with the $125 weekly rate I got for an SUV and it may be cheaper to live here than anywhere on the mainland (assuming you cook your own meals. Cheaper if you like Chicken. LOL). Given what I have been able to confirm over the past 6 months, I feel pretty confident that someone could live in Hawaii all 52 weeks in timeshares. I doubt this this will last forever. It truly is the golden age of timesharing.

    Jim....I'm glad that you have a nice view. Can't wait to see your pics!!

    Isn't it amazing what $310.96 can get you.

    If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

    BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

      During the depths of winter I was watching RCI and TPI and at this point in time I believe you are correct. Certainly the weekly costs would be far cheaper than the mortgage, utilities and taxes we pay to live outside of paradise.

      Now if we could rid ourselves of all these darn materials posessions, need for education of child and pets.

      I guess your chicken tastes better if freshly pressed by tires?

        Isn't it lovely? I had the best stay there. Can't wait to see your pics. Oh and I'd like to place an order-I'll take my Puka Dog with Hot and the Pineapple relish. Yum. Enjoy your stay!

          I had two of them for lunch today. I had Hot with Mango and Hot with Pineapple.

          They are opening a Puka Dog is the International Marketplace in April. Can't wait.

            Boca, where are your pictures? We loved staying at this resort a few years ago. Here are my pictures, if anyone wants to see them still.

            We went to a Marriott update about a week or so ago and our saleslady spent a lot of time with us. She knew darn well that she wasn't going to make another sale with us but she is such a terrific sales lady. She sold a family many fixed weeks on a row recently so she did OK and we are happy for her. She is a class act.
