Notes from the owner: Enjoy whale season and the week of The Sentry Golf
Tournament.
What we love about this resort is the hospitality, location in front of
the Kaanapali Beach and daily activities that are offered for FREE
including, yoga & aquafit in the pool on Monday-Thursdays, Pickleball
tournament, Waterslide, Texas Hold'em tournament. We really don't even
want to leave the resort to do other activities because it's fun just
staying at the Marriott and enjoying all of the free activities that are
provided. The pool area is simply unmatched. Shaved ice or popcorn on
some of the days served complimentary. There's a nice boardwalk in front
that allows you to walk up to Whaler's Village. You'll love the peaceful
evening or morning walks. There's a community laundry room and huge
community kitchen if you want to use a stovetop or oven. Lots of
Bar-B-Q's located around the resort. I love bar-b-qing while looking at
the beautiful ocean views. Free self-parking. Mahalo!

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.
