But whenever I'm there, there are mostly 20s-30s there for honeymoons, babymoons, weddings, or trips they've been saving up for. It's an aspirational place, and now it will be even more so. I just hope we don't end up with all of the peeps who think it's OK to play their own music by the pool on their bluetooth speaker.

I'm a conservative spender. I'm older, and while I could have afforded it occasionally, I wouldn't have paid for this place when I was 30.

I might guess personal non-headphone music isn't even allowed, and a discreet "heads up" to a staff person would work? I don't know, I don't spend any time pool-side (I'm in the ocean or hitting up the island all day).
I'd be with you in fear, more with regard to the trailer park aspect (I mean, that is a trailer park TV no?) it might draw, as opposed to the numbers

Andaz Maui is not taking reservations until October 25th, they say due to Covid, Certainly September is off due to travel restrictions. They canceled my reservation around October 15th. Maybe it is because the rented the entire property to the production crew.

No award availability
I looked online today and there was no availability for award bookings for January. I called to confirm this and even though the agent checked day by day, there was no availability for any award bookings through March. There is plenty of cash availability. Anyone have insight on this situation?

You need to search in 3-night block. For example 3/5-8 or 1/15-18. Then you can drop a night or two later. Concierge can also combine multiple blocks and drop single night, for example (2) 3-night block and drop 1 to make 5-night booking. This property is playing games with availability.

Did you try a different number of nights ? While 3 is common, it can be as many as 10 nights.

If you're globalist they can let you borrow the points to book. Then you can call back to shorten the reservation. Not sure how much is the maximum they can let you "borrow". But the agent can't override the property's 10-night limit to book just 3-night reservation.
