If you are a lazy cook, you can find pre-prepared BBQ meat in either their mini-shop or the super market near by and save you a lot of work. Most of those TS have good view. Have a sip of wine, watch the sunset by the beach front while waiting for your grill. It is even better sitting at a resturant, unless you want people serve you
Wine? On Maui and Kauai? I am an umbrella drink girl. We actually buy the pre-mixed mai tai cocktail at Costco (Vic Trader or something like that), several bottles for two weeks, and we love to enjoy those on the lanai, every evening. We usually don't buy drinks at the restaurants, because they are so expensive. I would like to make pina coladas in the unit, too, but I think it would require more work and more ingedients. I never drink anything at home, just Hawaii.
By the way, renting a timeshare you own is very difficult, I should know. I have had an oceanfront unit (details left out on purpose, so I am not advertising) for rent and haven't gotten a single serious inquiry. It's tough to rent a timeshare, no matter the location or the time of year. You can get a bargain on a week, if you look around. My point: don't buy with the intention of renting most of the time.
This is why we won't ever buy in Orlando, because it's too cheap to rent or exchange into the best resorts there.
