Marriott Adds New Resort Partnership in Hana -- what it means for MVC owners

In case you missed this Ask RedWeek question from March:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I heard a rumor that Marriott was adding a new resort partnership in Hana, Maui. Is it true, and what are the details of this program? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, this is true. In a move to create more vacation opportunities for timeshare owners --- and to alleviate an inventory crunch at the Maui Ocean Club --- Marriott Vacation Club (MVC) has partnered with a luxurious, rustic and remote resort in Hana to accept Vacation Club points for nightly reservations.

As a result, MVC Destinations Club owners can now book stays at the Travaasa Hana, a so-called "experiential" resort that caters to couples who want to unwind in the most deliberately underdeveloped resort on Maui. On a busy day, for example, this 70-unit resort at the very end of the steamy Road to Hana can host 140 adults and a handful of kids. With a one-story, original Hana plantation look and feel, it's an extreme change of pace from the hustle and bustle atmosphere of the family resorts along Kaanapali Beach on the western side of the island.
