I, too, am a very happy owner of timeshares, Dana. The critical issue is to buy what you will actually use rather than planning to exchange, which may-or-may-not be available.
A great source of information, as well as a vehicle for resales and trades, is the bulletin board TUG2.com [Timeshare User Group], much of which is accessible at no cost if one registers as a guest. Accessing resort reviews or participating in the Marketplace requires a membership of $15 per year. They are a great group of knowledgeable, helpful folks concerning timeshare purchase and use. Check out the Discussion Forums, including on Hawaii. https://tugbbs.com/forums/
