Went on a tour last week and ended up purchasing an even year, 2 bedroom resort view at Westin Nanea Maui. We plan to return yearly with and without or kids. However doing some research I'm seeing buying resale will save us $20k+. However I'm torn what a better fit will be for us in the long term.
We were told with nanea we can book at the kaanapali at the 8month booking window. Any unused "points" can be converted to Marriott points and that we have the option to book our week any day of the week instead of kaanapali which check in is only Fri, sat and sun.
Now I'm curious if we do the opposite and own kaanapali can we book into nanea any day of the week? I was told if we bought nanea resale we could not book at kaanapali or convert to Marriott points.
And lastly how hard is it to get into these resorts at the 12 and 8 month window?
