Have an exchange for 10/17 check-in. Have not contacted the resort yet. Was wondering if anyone knows if they pre-assign the exact unit ahead of time. Also are there better floors and buildings to stay in. Also any questions I should ask the resort before getting there?

Any help would be appreciated!:D

The best units are in C building facing the Gulf and then D which faces the marina. I can't comment on your other questions because we go every year. ie, We've not traded in.

I guess I will call and see what they say. I have an RCI exchange and does not have any indication of the actual unit number.

Called the resort. Said they have no record of my rci reservation. Guess I will call RCI to see why. Leaving next week and they have no record:(

We called ahead last year at 10 days out and asked for the highest floor possible overlooking either the Gulf or the Marina. They were very accommodating and we had a 4th floor 2 bedroom/2 bath unit overlooking the marina. It may also depend upon what type of unit you have. The pool can get pretty loud so try to avoid a unit overlooking it.

Only stayed there once. Called ahead and when we got there we had a lovely view of the back of the equipment shed for the pool.

Thankfully not the type of place where a view is make or break. Always nice but you're not in your unit that much in Key West, frankly.
