I'm one of those suckers who fell victim to buying a Nanea timeshare from the developer back in 2016, not having found TUG until a year or so later. Despite the exorbitant cost, we're actually using the SPG Gold membership to our advantage and have taken more vacations in the past two years than we had in the ten years prior. So, all-in-all, we're not completely turned off by the experience.
Anyway, we're staying at Nanea for the first time this week and, as you probably know, there are only two view categories here; Resort & Ocean. Having purchased a Resort view, with no way to reserve your room in advance, leaves us open to whatever they have available when we arrive. This trip, we ended up with room 1510, which has a view of the park next door to Nanea (Kekaa Open Space Park), and a bit further off in the distance the KORV North development. It's not all that bad, because in addition to the park, we can also see the boardwalk and even some of the ocean through the trees. We asked for a room with a better view, but were advised that they really didn't have anything. They showed us a couple more options which had a view of the "plunge pools" and the "swamp" that they should have used for a swimming pool in the north part of the property, but we decided to come back to 1510, which has grown on us since we've been here.
That said, I was wondering if there is any way to upgrade to an Ocean View at Nanea on the after-market? I was going to contact Nanea about this possibility, but am afraid they might pull the wool over my eyes, yet again.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
