All,
TUGgers may recall my enthusiasm for Building 6 at Kings Land, which has close proximity to the pool area, bar/restaurant, and fitness center (full disclosure: I have yet to see on this trip). I requested the same for this current trip and when we arrived, we had been assigned to Building 7. I didn't think it was problematic, as all of the above remain very accessible. But it had been a long travel day and we inquired if anything was ready for us to occupy. We were offered Building 8, which we gratefully accepted.
There is much to like about these "upper" buildings (7-12). I'd not appreciated how the "lower" buildings (1-6) have a restricted view by trees/shrubs. I am a first floor enthusiast because I grill as much as possible. The "upper" buildings have an improved view plane and I have a striking view of Mauna Kea and the other mountain (Kohala?) from my patio. Building 9 would have an even better direct view of Kohala but isn't angled towards Mauna Kea.
Interesting stuff....I've never considered Kings Land to be a view property (and I still don't) but this is a remarkable benefit as it is beautiful to look at the currently snow-capped top of Mauna Kea and it's telescopes.
Kings Land is as delightful as always, we really like this property and it's a real gem in our timeshare collection, as is HHV. I will always come to Kings Land versus Marriott Waikoloa Ocean Club, as I prefer the units, infrastructure and layout. Jack and I went scuba diving yesterday and will again on Thursday (fingers crossed for Manta Rays) and it has been a great trip thus far -- still a few days to go! I hope this is helpful to anyone considering unit assignments....
For future trips, I will request Building 8, because of the view to Mauna Kea and it is still easy access to the amenities above.
Best,
Greg
