Sadly yes I had to pay a valet fee of $30-35 a day, I can't remember the exact amount I'm afraid.

I stayed at the MK twice this year and they were operating their shuttle to the Hapuna. I drove over to the Hapuna a few times and was waved through because the hotels use the same type of parking pass that hangs from the rear view mirror. The MK beach was definitely busier than usual and they ask for the room number to dispense beach towels. But I never heard anything about the reciprocal benefits of the two hotels being limited.
It seems they're trying to prevent that now. The parking pass I was given was a standard Westin style one (gray and yellow) which makes it distinctive from the Marriott side. Over at the Hapuna almost all the branding is now Westin style while the MK is still distinctive.
