Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that one opening up. Makes sense as that one is the cheapest price.

There are only 4 of them. Makes getting DSUs in more challenging.

Can anyone comment on the pool temps in Jan-Feb?
We were here last January and remember the lower pool with the shallow entrance down near Morimoto's to be pretty chilly. As we will be with our 2 year old and 1 year old again, this will be our pool of choice.

We left yesterday and it's still cool. Unfortunately I think the lower pool actually is the warmest myself.

Trying to plan a return trip here, but all I get is 500 errors when using their site. Tried a few browsers.

Also, am I the only one who finds it strange that searches on andazmaui.com generate a pop-up window for competing hotels nearby with Roomkey?

The Roomkey popup is something that Hyatt has decided is a good idea... they have formed an alliance with a few competing brands to offer a joint ad. Extremely bad practice to annoy your customers with... but something they feel is worth a few extra bucks over customer satisfaction. One more reason to install an ad*blocker.

Right - I guess the only reason I'm noticing it today is that I tried in a private browsing window to see if Ghostery was part of the problem.

Don't want to pay this price? Stay at the Grand Wailea! Seriously?

Can someone please tell me what a DSU is? I stayed at Andaz last February & loved it.

Has anyone found points or p/c space for this property? I've looked on quite a few days and can't find anything.

I did both last stay, and I have all P&C coming up in Feb.

I have a Points/Cash stay coming up in March. I planned my trip to take advantage of the availability. After I booked, P/C was still available, but as of yesterday it was no longer offered for my dates.

As a side note, what are the chances I can get upgraded from the P/C Garden Room?

If you are Diamond, I would say good odds, but don't leave it to chance, call a couple of times ahead of your check in and discuss your preferences.

I can't comment on odds for non-Diamonds, other than to guess it's unlikely, but again calling to ask and make a contact and then meeting that contact at check in would be my strategy.

A bit of a random question.

I have the opportunity to book a poolside daybed for free for a couple of days during my stay in mid April, which will be from Monday to Sunday. I need to decide which days

I am writing off Monday and Sunday, because they won't be full days. I'm tempted to book it for our first and last full days, so Tuesday and Saturday. Does it sound sensible? :-)

And by the way, what are you experiences with the daybeds?

Just found one for my stay next week actually. Perfect timing since the last day to cancel my SPG res was today. Excited to be back here (minus the damn $40 resort fee).
