Take an easy and don't do too much! Duke's next store is a good restaurant choice as is Plantation House. Plantation House is a must for a pre-sunset dinner reservation and is about a 15 minute drive north.

I went in May. It's a good value. I usually do a more adventurous vacation, and I did enjoy my stay at Travaasa Hana better, but I would recommend it if you like Maui. I got an upgrade to a partial ocean view, but there was no lanai, which surprised me. I tried to get a room with a lanai but was unsuccessful.

Just two quick questions about this $798 deal: (1) is plat status recognized on these reservations (e.g. can I request a suite upgrade if there is availability on spg.com) and (2) do these reservations count towards eligible stays for status/the nice choice promotion? At 13 nights for June and July and have this package booked for the coming weekend so it would be nice to know if I'm going to hit 15 with this reservation.
Thanks!
Thanks!

(2) the stay will not be considered an eligible for status purposes

Doesn't make good business sense to give a Platinum on the SVO offer a crappy room and no benefits. If the goal is to sell you on ownership, you're off to a bad start with a parking lot room.

To those who have asked for referrals in this thread, if you will Pm me all the pertinent info in a single pm, I am happy to send it on to the "friendship program". It requires your name, phone number, email, and address. They usually contact you back by phone first, so if you want it quickly, give your cell so they can actually find you. You must also specify if you want Maui or Kauai.
