Sat, 25 May 2013 00:33:48 +0000 http://boardingarea.com/blogs/mommypoints/?p=15400#comment-374055 Interesting -- I got a nice invite from the property via postal mail as well as an offer to stay at the property. If I stay 4 nights, I get 2 nights free and a $75 resort credit. If I stay 5 nights, I get 2 nights free + $150 resort credit. Seems to be general member targeted (not diamond) as there were no references to my diamond status.

I'm quite surprised to hear they've moved the opening forward, after reading this last week: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g29220-i86-k6483761-Andaz_Update-Maui_Hawaii.html We had our fifth anniversary in Wailea last year, it was amazing. Have a great time. Don't miss Monkeypod Kitchen behind the resorts. Hand down the best craft cocktails/beers on the island. Really looking forward to this, booked yesterday for Feb.
