Hi, I’m hoping to get some advice from the TUG hive mind. We’ve visited HRCs (HKB and Beach House) and Westins (WKORV-N, Princeville, Kierland), and like them both. We’re ready to buy (resale only! Lol just finished a Kierland pitch for Flex), but can’t decide how to proceed, Hyatt vs Westin, and resort. For reference, I tried to buy a Diamond Beach House week two years ago, but it got snatched up in ROFR.
Our ultimate goal is to visit Hawaii every few years, with trips to other locations in between. There are so many pros to each, but my husband prefers Hyatt enough that I’m focusing my efforts on that. We’d particularly like to use High Sierra on our off Hawaii years, and we loved Key West.
Bottom line: How hard will it be to trade HBH or other to a HKB summer week? We are limited on travel due to school age and younger kids, so it doesn’t really work even to buy a spring week, since spring break changes, although that would be great sometimes. I know the general advice is to buy the week and resort you want, but how hard is it really to get a HKB summer week if it’s not your home resort? Does it help to get a fixed HKB week that is the ‘wrong’ time for us?
