Hyatt Residence Club - Maui Kaanapali Exchanged/Reserved

[whathowmuch]

Believe I got really lucky.... scored a 7-day reservation at HRC in Maui, Ka'annapali from 1/13/18 to 1/20/18, 2 bedroom, 2200 points. Exchanged for my 1-bedroom in Carmel, diamond week.

Was quite discouraged with all the posts about it being next to impossible. Just wanted to let the forum know that it's possible. I think I was on the reserve list for 6 months or so. Can't recall when I put it in.

Good luck to the rest of you trying.

Enjoy! We had scored an exchange there this past September... it was lovely

Great exchange and great season to be there. Bring binoculars; you should be able to see whales from your lanai.

No 'should' about it. The whale-soup runs pretty much all day. Makes it really hard to get anything done.
My advice? Get a bottle (2) of Pineapple Margs from Costco, hang-out on the patio or pool deck and just watch the whales. It's very satisfying.

Congrats! Nice going. I've never stayed there, but had a chance to do a walk-through. It's a lovely resort, and upholds the great Hyatt standards for excellence. I'm also liking Rob's advice

Interesting that your booking was confirmed 3 months prior to occupancy. Those units became available 6 months prior (July 2017) at the end of the owner's HRPP. I wonder why Hyatt didn't complete your booking at that time? Maybe there was a cancellation or maybe that's an internal trigger point to allow HRC members to get the unit???

Yes, I thought that was strange too. Probably a cancellation... though who knows? Not going to question it though.

There is a lot of last minute availability, about a month in advance. Where is it coming from?

Probably developer inventory that they couldn't book.
