Hey, I see ocean in some of those "garden view" rooms, so I call that a win. Plus, some of these "parking lot/street" views are pretty nice, too. It's all about what you're expecting vs. what you get, I suppose.

That's part of the reason why I posted those pics. It is quite natural that you have a gorgeous view when you have a booking for OV rooms. But you will be very pleased when you have found your assigned room will give you more than anything you booked and expected. I believe I have got pretty good luck for room/floor assignment.

OK, it’s not an HGVC, but it is a part of the Hilton family. Here is our view from our overwater bungalow at the Hilton Resort Moorea in French Polynesia. We’ll be here for three days, having just completed a seven night Tahiti and Society Islands cruise on the m/s Paul Gauguin.

View from Lagoon Tower penthouse on backside of building with wrap around deck. We were pleasantly surprised by this view because it is not OF.
