The one bedroom at HGV Bay Club was huge. It has a wrap around deck with a full table outside, two bathrooms, a large kitchen, and a wonderful living room. Just a joy to have such a great space. I was in building one which is closest to the hotel and the ocean. I definitelyContinue reading “Review of the Hilton Grand Vacations Bay Club One Bedroom in Waikoloa, Hawaii”

Timeshare traveler Episode 11 – A 1.4 mile walk to the Lava Lava Club restaurant
I love the big island because of its rugged beauty. A lot of the natural beauty is easily accessible as it is one of the least built out islands.

Review of the Westin Kaanapali Studio in Lahaina Maui, Hawaii

The HGV Maui timeshare was originally schedule to open in the Spring of 2021. Although construction delays are always a possibility, the HGV Maui was delayed until 2022 (no exact timeframe beyond that) mostly I suspect because of Covid and its impact on travel to Hawaii. So now that travel to Hawaii is happening again,Continue reading “Hilton Grand Vacations in Maui now under construction – May 2021”
