When you get one of these referral deals, you generally need to have a lot of flexibility in your dates. Availability is through SVN - the timeshare arm of Starwood - and you won't have the same availability as if you were booking as a regular hotel stay. You have to book them over the phone with SVN, and conform to their available dates.
These deals are often sent out as targeted promos to SPG members and SPG Amex card holders. (It's not always via a timeshare owner's referral.)

has anyone tried recently to book a one bedroom unit with points? I know on the spg website it lists the studio units eligible with points, but nothing for the 1 bedroom/ Is this doable and anyone have any idea how many points per night?
Thanks
Thanks

I'm back!
I'm back from a four-month self-imposed break from FlyerTalk. I have over 40 PM's asking for owner-referrals to this property or to the Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas. I will begin working those on a first-come basis. I apologize for those of you who have been waiting. Give me a couple of weeks to work through the backlog.
It's good to be back!

If i booked this with points for a studio room with a king size bed and a sofa bed, and there are 4 adults and 1 baby in the room would there be additional charges?
Extra person charge: USD 89 Per Person / Per Night
Child rollaway charge: USD 15.00 Per Child Rollaway / Per Night
The baby would sleep in her own crib and we would bring.
If just states on my booking page 16,000 points per night ( 5th night free deal)

You might want to contact the property to see if five people in that size room is even allowed. To be honest, you're going to be extremely cramped with 4 adults in the studio and I can't actually imagine where you're going to put a crib in that room with the sofabed open as there's pretty much no floor space left...

At the stroke of 11pm (cst) got a week for a two bedroom lock off in February for 148k options.
We have been to Kauai, Hawaii, and Oahu, but this will be our first trip to Maui. Staying at GW Waldorf Astoria for 3 nights before our week here.

Hi all: Questions for those who have stayed at this hotel: We have friends who have booked a week here in November and we are going to join. Looking to use SPG points but see that we can get a room at the other Westin Maui Resort down the street for 12K/night and this property is 20K/night.
1) Is the ocean resort worth the extra 8k a night?
2) If we stay at the other westin, will we be able to join our friends at the Ocean Resort at the pool and other amenities? We are plat for what it's worth.

1. Depends on if you value having a kitchen, washer and dryer, etc... If you will use them, then it could be worth it, if not, probably not.
2. Rules say no. Practically, having stayed at both, enforcement isn't air tight.

The studios at the villas are quite a bit larger (kitchenette, sitting area with couch/table/chair) than the standard room you'd get at the hotel, so the point requirement comparison isn't really valid. You should compare the points for a junior suite (I would guess 15K/nt) at the hotel vs the studio at the villas...
