Hi All,
I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the Hawaii forum, but I'll ask here since my questions seem a little more Wyndham specific.
I'm looking at Kauai as part of a Hawaii trip in late June/early July of 2019. We are taking my parents, so a three bedroom would be perfect (DH, teenage DS, and my mom and dad).
From my poking around online it looks like Shearwater has one and only one 3 bedroom unit, can anyone tell me about my chances of getting it at 10 months? I've read that this unit has a Saturday check in, but with the new changes, it looks like this unit is available to book less than full weeks (I have been poking at the 2018 calendar a bit), can anyone confirm? We're thinking 7 nights on the big island and something like 4 or 5 nights on Kauai, but if we had to do a full week, we could shift that thinking.
Does anyone have any photos of the 3 bedroom unit? Any feedback on it? I did see that there is a loft and that has an AC unit, which is good, since I'm a little concerned about sleeping without AC, just knowing it is there would make me feel better . Anything else to know about the unit?
And this unit would never come up in RCI, right? Looks like a lot of people use RCI to get a better points value vs. booking directly with Wyndham. We do have some points sitting in RCI that we could use, and we've also banked most of our 2018 points, so I have a bit of wiggle room for this trip.
We could do two 2 bedroom units, but being all together would be more fun and more convenient. I suppose I should do some math on booking one through RCI and one through Wyndham...maybe that would be a good backup plan if I can't get the 3 bedroom?
Thanks for following my rambling questions!
