The reason I am saying a villa is because I need 2 bedrooms and some form of kitchen. It can be called anything. I am used to staying at nice resorts and now that this is a family trip, I did love to have a similar experience.
Right, exactly what I figured. Try the
Westin Ka'anapali. The smallest room ("Studio Premium Villa") is bookable with SPG points online, and the bigger rooms - including the "Two Bedroom Premium Villa" - say "SPG redemption options may be available. For information, call 1-800-937-8461." Be warned though that the smallest room goes for something like 30k/night, can't imagine what the 2br goes for.
Somebody on the Maui thread was planning on staying there, but that person is renting it from a vacation rental owner (something like $500/night).
