Free Casabellas at WKORV???

[tstiv1996]

Trip coming up in July to WKORV. Went to see about casabellas and cabanas. saw "New" ocean facing casabellas available for my dates and they're free? aren't these normally $75? Is it a location thing? I think these are by the grills (14,15,16)? Does anyone know what is "new" about these? and if this location is just wildly undesirable? Thanks!

What's a casabella?

I was wondering the same thing.

It's a shaded 2-person lounge:

So there appears to be a bug/mistake with regard to three specific "casabellas" at WKORV (South) in that they are listed as free (instead of $75) and it's allowing me to book them well in advance. I just booked one for three different days during our stay at Thanksgiving and hope they will honor the booking. (I did not book one for the entire week as that just seemed greedy.)

All the other Casabellas at South and North cost money and can't be booked until three months prior.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll get there early that week and get my towels on them

Freedom is not free.

Neither are casabellas, under normal circumstances.

I have a September trip to WKOR. Interval reservation using a Marriott week. How would I reserve one of these?

I agree, I only booked two days with them... I guess I will just go with it being a glitch... will see if it works out

im wondering if these "new" ones are free because of proximity to grills or something about location. if someone happened to be here recently that may be able to shed light on these locations that would be cool.

Update** I called concierge and the Aqualani. They said those beach front chairs will be located physically on the beach, and are not available yet. My guess is the free reservation will not be honored, but im going to keep it until they tell me otherwise.

Are these reservable through ipoolside link? If so, what is the link?

Nice find! I reserved a few days as well. Hope they honor it.

We saw the same thing a couple of years ago and reserved the free ones and it was honored without question. Very nice.

Thank you! I just reserved 2 days in June. We shall see what happens. Love TUG!

Thank you for sharing!! I made a reservation as well. Fingers crossed!

I realize this is a Vistana thread, but does anyone know if MOC has a similar online reservation system for cabanas or casabellas?

Does anyone know if I can reserve at the WKORV south if I have an existing Nanea reservation with Interval? I made the reservation with my confirmation number. Worried they might cancel it. What a great find!!

Nanea guests aren't allowed to use WKORV/WKORVN facilities and vice versa, so if they actually verify the confirmation numbers, you may get cancelled.

I think if it's coming up as free you don't have much to lose. If they cancel it you don't get it, which is exactly the same outcome as if you don't try

I only saw south as available not north but I was looking for summer

Nanea has their own booking site. Im fairly confident that would work for you without it getting cancelled.
