I was only able to get points to come up once for the next 3 months. And only for a 10 night stay and only ADA rooms. No availability for 7, 8 or 9 nights with the same check in date.

Then, as frequently as you can, check availability for a non-ADA room (assuming that's your preference) and as available change one night at a time.
In the end, if your reservation is for some number of continuous nights less than 10, with some in ADA and some in non-ADA, I highly doubt they'll ask you to change rooms and will just give you one room with no room changes required. Having the first night or two of the stay in the non-ADA room and calling and talking to the front office ahead of arrival will pretty much guarantee that you won't be room jumping.

Just book for 10 nights, then change to fewer nights by calling HGP and cancelling unneeded nights.

Can someone fill me in on the Kihei parking option?

Apparently, I chose a very popular time to go to Andaz Maui - April 8-15. Flights are very expensive! Anyway, I re-checked the room rate, and it dropped from $484/night to $420/night! 
One thing I noticed was that "mountain view" was renamed "Mauka view" now. Does anyone know if this is correct?
Also, how is mountain or Makua view? Do I have a chance of an upgrade to at least partial ocean view? All room types, except garden view, are currently available. I'm hoping diamonds are treated well at the property.
So excited!

"Mauka" is how a mountain view room would be expressed in Hawaiian. We most often use it when giving directions "head mauka (away from the ocean / towards the mountains) for two blocks."

Just paid 5 nights stay here first week of April via Priceline Express at $356/night. Total with tax/resort fee $2187. Is there anway to get any points out of this since it's third party? And I assume that status won't matter anymore due to a third party booking. Is this rate fairly good? Hawaii hotels are a bad value overall. The prices are ridiculous (that's saying a lot while living in Japan and trying to get a good value here).
