Anybody stay at WKORV-N yet?

IV from #6436

"Some might look at building 2 of WKORV and the kiddie pool but that beats the parking lot."

Here is a link to 2 pictures from Unit 6436. (Faces Building 2 and the kiddie pool). I was very satisfied with this "IV".

According to a view legend I was emailed by the salesperson spoken to (I'm sorry, I don't know how to post it here), Bldg 7 on the north end of the property behind the OF Bldg 8 runs parallel to the 10 acre dedicated open space with a 500 ft view corridor that is just south of the proposed phase three villas.

I would love to see the view map. If you PM me, I'd post it for everyone.

You will need to make it a 'Collection' to share as a web-link. It is at the bottom of the Shutterfly Home Page.

I also included a very helpful map of the property that someone here posted. If anyone knows who posted it originally, I'd like to give them credit.

Notice in photo 2 - that the reef to the south of WKORV (where the reef stops - a little south of the public park) has an excellent entry point that will prevent potential scrapes from entering in straight in from the WKORV or WKORV-N beaches. Enter here - and then snorkle northwards parallel to the beach along that channel. A very pleasant snorkle - a turtle hangs out between the 2 properties.

Thanks David! That is great to know. I hate scrapes.

This "IV" looks great!

I'll be there Sunday, and am hoping to get something at least this nice.

I may be misunderstanding that is meant by a "scrape" (as in getting an abrasion from the reef?) but we entered the water (like everyone else we saw) directly in front of WKORV every day we snorkled at the hotel w/no problems at all...there is plenty of sandy area to walk in and then begin snorkeling. I don't think there's any need to walk down to the entry noted, unless you want to do a snorkel up the beach that way...the quality of the snorkeling at the resort was a pleasant surprise.

Same here. The water was plenty deep enough for us right at the resort. My kids were even able to boogie board at the shore. The reef was set a little back.

Maybe David went during low tide, and other went during high tide.

Is there a sandy area without a reef waling distance to WKORV or N? The kids like to swim, boogie board and play but aren't so good with the coral and reef.
Thanks for the pics!!

Just book airfare for $351 plus tax from LAX to Maui in May 2008, on AA.

The sandy area is the one that I mentioned - you can see the reef and southern sandy are to the south. I also enter directly in front of WKORV - However... for those who like pure sandy entry (St John can spoil you) this offers an easy in/out. When we have been there Nov-Dec -the reef starts about 5-10 feet off of the sand.

Yes - I did mean scrapes - and also... swimming out w/o fins and then putting them on in the water helps...

Kids were doing all of that directly in front of WKORV when we were there...as noted, if you go a little south there are fewer formations, but they didn't appear to get in the way of any of the kids playing in front of the resort.
