Vistana views from a BALCONY - Post your best photos!

We were at WPORV the week of May 18th. Unfortunately, we seldom eat out due to my post food poisoning digestion issues.

@Vacation4us Thanks for posting. What floor is this? Is this categorized as Oceanfront or Oceanview?

Ocean front; Building 8 at WKORVN is entirely OF.

That would be 6th Floor. 8613 (Bldg 8, Floor 6, Unit 13)

 

[CalGalTraveler]

Thanks. Is this the top floor?

Looking forward to our first visit next summer!

Yes.

Building 8, Floor 6. Classified as Ocean Front. Room was a studio lock off.
View of island of Lanai was blocked however, due to the positioning of the building, so could only see Molokai in the distance.

Hard to take a photo that covers the views of this balcony.
WKORV 2629 (OFD 1Bd) - so I will post some that I took during Sept 8-15
(a reason to consider OFD even with the huge MFs)

Interval International exchange into Westin Nanea. Assigned building 7 on the 2nd floor (7208) facing buildings 4 & 5 overlooking the plunge pool with a peek of the ocean behind the palm.

That's the view I would get if I went to Nanea. No matter if we go to North or South, we end up overlooking the pirate ship.

Pool construction. Still very nice.

Are you an owner? staying on trade? or a paid stay? Curious how Nanea determines who gets the parking lot views.

I didn’t want to repeat from other posts, but this was on a Nanea Preview package.
They offered to move us, but we had already unpacked.
It wasn’t awful - and the Preview package was a deal.

We own an OFD at WKORV - it would be hard to compare an OFD with any other villa in VSN. IMO

IME - timestamp rules when it comes to location for HomeResort stays, and SO stays.

At least you were over the lobby with the gravel overhang around you. three rooms to the right and you would have been right over the smoking section. My concern with the front, aside from the view, is the scent from the treatment plant seems heavier in the front. That's why I always book right at 12 months, to make sure I at least get an inside facing room. However, I still believe that Nanea is beautiful and would enjoy being there regardless. We don;t spent a LOt of time in the room. Glad you enjoyed it, despite the parking garage view.

The smoking would be killer for me. I was worried that we would be put above the smoking area by B2 for our SO stay.

During our stay at WKORV - people below us were smoking on their balcony. I had to yell down to ask them to stop. Are they so nose blind that they think people can’t smell them?
Also saw a woman smoking in her balcony at Nanea - when she saw me she quickly hid it.

At the end of the walkways leading to the beach - there were constant cigarette butts in the sand and on the stairs. Even with a trash can right there. I picked up multiple butts everyday off the beach and stairs.

Smokers do not care about their bodies or their health - or those around them or the environment.
It is very reflective of their addiction and their denial.

I am actually a smoker, HOWEVER, I carry around a portable sealable ashtray that I place my butts into until I find the next garbage can, and ALWAYS distance myself from all other people before I light up. I wish more were like me, as I do not like to smell other peoples smoke any more than non smokers do. NEVER light up on balconies or try to smoke in non-smoking areas. I usually end up at the far end of a parking lot all alone, looking sad... although, I have met the nicest people in the smoking areas (I dubbed them the leper colonies) that I wouldn't have met otherwise. I also don't deny I can quit, I just have to WANT to, my addiction is completely habitual and mental...

 

[taterhed]

Yep, if the balcony smokers irritate me enough, I go buy a nice cigar and treat them to a cigar. Or at least the smoke...

Nanea Unit 3315. Parking garage directly across with a creek type water feature down to the left. I was there on a preview package, which based on other comments is the likely reason we were given this view.

Problem is the OGG airport doesn't have any smoking areas. I don't smoke but I have a relative who vapes and needed to smoke before getting on the plane for 5 hours. Most airports have an area close to the terminal.

We looked for a spot on the map but couldn't find one so found a place away from people. The minute he started vaping, a Paul Blount type security guy on a segway raced over to tell us that we couldn't smoke there. We then asked where we could smoke and he said IDK somewhere out there in the parking lot. Not a good solution.

There is a smoking area across the street form the check in area, poorly marked. but there.
