My wife and I have just recently returned from a stay at the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas North on Maui. We are considering purchasing a week on the resale market. Has anyone purchased at this resort on the resale market? Has Starwood's right to first refusal made a purchase difficult? How do you believe the opening of the new Westin property in 2017 will affect resale price in the near future? What has been your experience of renting your timeshare at this resort? Any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated as we consider purchasing. Thanks!
Why obligate yourself to a lifetime of ever increasing maintenance fees and assessments when you can rent from an owner sometimes for less than they pay in fees. The other issue you will find if you read through some threads in here is that there seems to be a big problem booking a desirable vacation for owners. A lot of owners complain that it is difficult to get the weeks that they want even booking a year in advance.
