The best exchange to Hawaii is the one you can get! When we did our exchange back in 2002, we kept our requests very open. We said we would accept Maui, Kauai, or Hawaii any time from January through June. We got Kona Coast II(on Hawaii) for our first week (first week of May), and then traded a different timeshare for a week either side of that week on either Maui or Kauai. We ended up in Princeville on Kauai. We have visited Hawaii several times pre-timeshare ownership, and we already knew that our favorite places were on those three islands. Our very favorite is Hawaii because of the diversity there, so we were pleased when that came through first. We had a lovely stay at the KCII and would certainly stay there again. The Princeville stay was at Pahio Bali Hai, and while it was okay, it wasn't the quality of DVC or KCII, and is not on DVC's trade list.
