Creator's Key Takeaways

We wouldn't buy a MAR vacation club because the maintenance fees are crazy high and also the investment cost is just high.

Dukes is kind of gone downhill a lot. It's, you know, food is not good there anymore.

Pool is the biggest in all of Hawaii. It's very easy to find a seat and extremely easy to find a seat also in the shade.

Hawaii is just still a little bit overpriced. It's coming down.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider using Redweek to purchase a week resale for lower cost and to avoid parking and resort fees.
✓Be prepared to pay for parking if staying at the hotel part of the property.
✓Use tap to pay on your phone at the bar for daily settlement.
