We met someone today in the hot tub who was renting at WKORV and due to his elite Marriott lifetime status he was upgraded from a 2 bedroom to a 3 bedroom as well as to oceanfront. I didnt realize that hotel status helped in the resorts.

So he’s at Nanea. And it’s not supposed to...in fact, the Marriott website clearly states

OR he didn't want his wife/partner/etc to really know how much he spent on the OF unit so he said he had been upgraded! ;)

So he’s at Nanea. An d it’s not supposed to...in fact, the Marriott website ha ha. We asked at the desk and they said it depends on availability. We got island view at 8 mos but we own elsewhere and ourMarriott status didnt seem to help. front desk tried to see if there was ocean view. We are at north for 9 days so that makes it more tricky. We may be able to change 2 days out but its not worth it .

They’re never going to say absolutely not. Haha, indeed.

Its a let down as we started at Hyatt and we had 9th floor ocean front and then 4th floor ocean front and we were treated like royalty. Its the benefit of a smaller program. Its transition day so Im sure I will adjust. Afterall we are in Maui. I do think we will just reserve oceanfront when we can in the future.

I ended up in WKORV (south) OF Deluxe as a SO exchange (from 81K SO WKV) and have no status.

The 3Bd are only at Nanea - not WKORV

Wow that's great. We have been extremely lucky with Hyatt but not so much with Westin. Front desk said we were 1 day off the 8 mos so that may be a factor.
