Banyan Harbor Resort Upgraded By RCI

December 8, 2000
KAUAI, HI -- The Banyan Harbor Resort on the island of Kauai has been upgraded by RCI to the coveted "Resort of International Distinction".

"This is a great Honor," commented the Developer Ben Bregman. "The Board of Directors, The Staff, General Manager Chris Gampon and Outrigger Lodging Services have done a great job. This award by RCI shows the commitment the owners have made thru the Board to upgrade the Resort to the Highest level possible."

Along with this award, RCI raised the point value of the Resort thru the RCI Global Points Network.

"With the new evaluation The Banyan Harbor Resort is by far and away the lowest cost per point of any Hawaiian Timeshare," added Mr. Bregman.

Banyan Harbor is a mixed use property with 148 units, of which 34 are in the timeshare program with additional units being added as sales continue. Managed by Outrigger Lodging, it was completely renovated in July of this year.

Just across the street from the famous Kalapaki Beach, the resort is centrally located on the Garden Island: only 2 miles from the Lihue Airport, within 2 miles of Kauai's business center, largest shopping centers, 3 golf courses, dining, and more.

Some of the amenities included for owners and guests at the Banyan Harbor are:

Banyan Harbor Resort is front and center on the island that many visitors are convinced is the most beautiful place on earth, and which is consistently voted the friendliest vacation destination on the planet.

Kauai is an island of mostly small communities nestled along the shoreline and tucked up into the foothills. Lihue, the County Seat and business and commercial center of the Island, has nice residential areas surrounding it and the Island's largest shopping center as well (Kukui Grove Center). This is where you'll land when you go to Kauai, whether you arrive by air or sea.

From Banyan Harbor at Lihue you can easily explore north and west, through Wailua, Kapaa, Kilauea and on to Princeville and the little hamlet of Hanalei; or south and west, through sunny Koloa Town, Poipu, Lawai, Hanapepe and Waimea. Most guests at the resort, however, spend the majority of their time staying put.

The entire population of this island is less than that of many small cities, and only about half a percent the size of Oahu's population. They like it like that, and so do visitors.

The center of the island boasts the wettest spot on earth at Mount Waialeale. Nearby is Alakai, the highest tropical swamp in the world. Add the grandeur of the Waimea Canyon (called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific) large flowing rivers, many waterfalls, exotic plants and birds, miles of sandy beaches-- and Banyan Harbor right in the most convenient spot on the island-- and you have an endless adventure just waiting for you.
