Are the renovations complete?

I have read much about the renovations that have been going on at this property from others that have stayed there. Are they still going on - and will they still be under way in April 2007?

I contacted the President of the Home Owner's Association and was told that the renovations will be complete before the end of 2006.

Randy C.

Wonderful news! Thank you so much for that information. We will be staying there for our first trip to Maui - and a treat for our 9th Anniversayr - very excited. Thanks again.

I missed providing the other part of the response: "We do plan on resurfacing the swimming pool and spa during the last week of November & first week of December. This will entail closing the pool down during this period." This is for 2007.

Please clarify- did they say that the swimming pool and the spa will be closed the last week of November and 1st week of December of 2007? Thanks!

Redd W.

Yes... closed.

So do you then mean that you ave not alerted any owners who wish to come for Thanksgiving as we planned to do that there would be no pool to use at this time? No one has contacted me at all

Michaele H.

Would someone please contact me as an owner so I may reschedule our trip for when the pool is open? ASAP Thank you. We had planned to be there for Thanksgiving, and mercifuly we have not purchased our plane tickets already.

Hi Michael,

I was able to find this information on the internet:

"Update: Jan. 23, 2007

Project that entails resurfacing and repair of the swimming pool and slide is forecasted to commence on November 1, 2007 and is expected to be completed by December 22, 2007. As a result, the pool and surrounding area will be inaccessible during this time."

You should contact the resort directly to verify the above information. Their phone number is 877-988-6284 or email address info@Sunterramaui.com or owners@Sunterramaui.com

Thanks, Marty

Hi Michaele,

I don't own there. I work for RedWeek.com. I found the pool infomation by doing a search and believe it or not found it on the Northwest Airline website so that's why I recommend you contact the resort to verify the information. The link is http://www.nwaworldvacations.com/planning/hotel.do?hotelId=OGG_EMB_EMB

You'll have to scroll down to where it says "Construction". I wasn't able to find any updates on the resort's website so I don't know how accurate this information is.

Thanks, Marty

NEWS: In the board meeting held today (March 8, 2007) it was decided that no renovations that will affect the enjoyment of the resort by its owners will be done without a full year's notice. This decision puts off the 2007 plans for pool and spa resurfacing.

It helps to get owner representatives on the board!

Randy C.

Does anyone have pictures of the new pool rennovations? Thanks!

Dana V.

Yes, they are complete. I don't have pictures but basically it looks the same. Pool area has been resurfaced & painted (same) but there are new pool- side chairs.

Pam S.

Yes in the resort "SALES" business it is called smoke and mirrors. But because "Construction Crews" are involved it can "legally" be called "RENOVATION".

What ever you call it, it was not worth the price we are paying DRI to put these window dressings up. These guys are doing only as much as is needed to make their presentation great, so they can sell more magic points (converted deeds). We have not been to KBC for a couple of years but I am not seeing the higher fees doing anything special, in fact it looks like services are reduced like the cocktail hour. Something does not add up here, if we must pay more to DRI to maintain our resort and we receive less why do we still allow them to "maintain our resort"

My two cents.
