What does MKO and MK1 mean? On the Vacation club website it lists it as a 2 bedroom but in the II book it is Efficiency up to 3 bedroom. When you are placing your request, do you put both codes in or do they each mean something different? Thanks!
 
I know that the original building (Hale Kona) only has 2BR's -- so it may be MKO. The two other buildings have 3BR's so perhaps they are MK1.

When I search, I put in requests for both MKO and MK1.

Good luck!

Thanks, the II book makes lists e, 1, 2, and 3 and trip advisor has pictures of people in 1 bedrooms only. I did not want to put in an ongoing request in a non 2 bedroom since we have 5 people....I guess I could always put in both codes and then have 24 hours to cancel....

I think all buildings have lock off units. I don't think that there are any of the codes that are dedicated 2BR only. So exchanging up in unit size at Ko'Olina is not possible unless you see it in instant exchange.
 
The completed buildings (Kona, Moana) have 2 and 3 bdrm villas with lock-offs. The third tower (Na'ia) which is half complete/occupied has only 2-bdrms (and 3?) but no lockoff capability.

I believe you have it right. Third tower (Na'ai) has both 2BR and 3BR units. Lockoffs only for 3BR units. I wonder if MK1 references the Na'ai Tower only because of no lockoffs? I'm sure someone here on tugbbs must know the MKO/MK1 code decryption.

I also don't think II will only allow you to search MK1. Any time I put in MKO, it always adds MK1 to the search field.

Though it doesn't appear the third building is all dedicated 2BR and 3BR units, so it wouldn't matter much.
