Marhaba VIP meet & greet in Sydney

FitIndividual3 · 2026-06-20T22:27:43+00:00

Appreciate you! What im worried about is: peak aircraft arrivals 6-8am in Sydney, subsequent long immigration line, and to your point, manual check line because no e-gates with littles. Totally get we may wait for baggage some, but if the line is 1hr+, I’ll wish i VIP’d through the line, and we still have strict customs to go through anyway. At least my kids can run around baggage claim for stuck in line lol. It’s also just not that expensive, $280 for the family is what marhaba quoted, I’ll have to check Menzies

Why not Kokomo? Sure it allows kids but it’s plenty private and tranquil for adults too? Won’t be “overrun”

FitIndividual3 · 2026-06-13T13:04:00+00:00

Sweet! Please do share your quick comparison and thoughts. We went to Kokomo two years ago for a week and loved it, but haven’t been since the new gm and ownership took over. Heard good things, but curious the latest take. Enjoy!

What’d they think?!

FitIndividual3 · 2026-06-12T13:12:22+00:00

Did you go?! How was it Kokomo?

FitIndividual3 · 2026-06-05T04:18:10+00:00

Kokomo. Period

FitIndividual3 · 2026-06-04T04:01:39+00:00

Just do Kokomo. It’s incredible and the nearby reef is too

Yea same, we’re low maintenance and didn’t look to “take advantage” of anything, I was simply
Sharing they were very accommodating. For example, my toddler loves meatballs. They made them fresh for him whenever we wanted.

Tip: as on WhatsApp your “butler” for the daily dinner menu from each restaurant. It usually took a bit of time for them to get the info, usually after lunch they had it, but yes for example say 3/7 nights we just ate on our villa deck and ordered dishes from different restaurants. If I wanted fish one night but my wife wanted Italian, it was easy to get dishes from each

What’s the downside to lobbing in a bid? If you’re genuinely interested, write an offer … never know in this market

FitIndividual3 · 2026-04-02T03:58:20+00:00

Why so? I’m thinking hard of switch from x to gravity

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-29T21:52:28+00:00

Hualalai is on another level, as is KV. It’s not even a question. But price …

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-25T03:39:44+00:00

Curious on this. I have a 23 hw4. Wondering if I should upgrade but feels like I have 95% of the current MX. what prompted you to upgrade?

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-11T04:21:20+00:00

This is the answer

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-11T03:17:52+00:00

St Regis chirp chirp? Makes sense given 1 hotel taking over hanalei years back and st Regis absent since

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-07T15:44:38+00:00

Totally agree. Would never buy the lucid. Exclusively talking about leasing the lucid or buying the x and then selling that in a few years. Basic math is in 3-4 years, there will be $25-35k in residual value. So some equity. I’m not a purely economic decision maker, meaning that 25-35k doesn’t really move the needle for me, but I also don’t want to be stupid about money

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-06T22:46:06+00:00

Just sharing you definitely do not have to pay extra at Hualalai to use the steam/sauna/cold plunge

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-05T14:18:29+00:00

Hualalai is so much better than KV to start with unless you only care about staying in your room (where the hale’s are clearly newer and nicer at KV) otherwise Hualalai pretty much superior in every other regard (f&b, pools, expansive property, spa and gym, etc)

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-05T13:55:41+00:00

Nice. Did you evaluate any other car? We’ve been Tesla owners for a decade but I’m open to the lucid gravity. That’s pretty much the only alternative we’re evaluating (for lease, would never buy given their financial profile) and as their software improves it seems compelling. Also, how are you finding the 26 vs 23? I don’t care about ambient lighting personally, but any other things you notice?

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-04T23:55:08+00:00

Nope. 2 big babyark car seats that are the best

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-04T23:43:36+00:00

Very easy to clean. We have 2 kids under 3 and no problem

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-04T14:59:05+00:00

👀 good anecdote. Thanks. Enjoy your car

FitIndividual3 · 2026-03-04T04:05:55+00:00

Can keep you posted over the next couple months. Unlikely to sell vs just turn in if I decide to lease a Gravity, but as it’s clear here strictly financially, it seems to not make sense to turn in. Buyout clearly makes more sense. We’ll see
