True center ocean front unit, one of only 12 in the resort. Better than a
corner ocean front; be sure to ask whether you are getting a center or
corner unit. The best unit in a great resort. Largest lanais (two of
them), both directly facing the ocean; beautiful views and sunsets; leave
the lanai doors open and go to sleep with the sound of the surf. Can
accommodate up to 2 more people with cots.
Center oceanfront units in Westin Kaanapali (South) are better than those
in the North resort because: 1) They are closer to the ocean; 2) They
directly face the ocean rather than being angled; 3) South resort is more
private than North resort. Also better than oceanfront units at Nanea.
See resort website for details on this beautiful resort and unit. We are
renting this for much less than what Marriott would charge. Email me with
any questions.

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
