Marriott - View from the Balcony

[Fasttr]

…. so you're tinkering with the A/C units now when you dislike the villa location?

It’s amazing what you can do with an old key card, a parking pass, and a couple of random colored pool wristbands. ;-)

Well... Ideally we really didn't want to move. We had already completely unpacked everything and DSV has no luggage carts! So I didn't want to have to repack and hand carry everything back to the car. But 80+ degrees for a week wasn't going to cut it. They did come to work on the AC and it only got worse after they left. When we I was carrying stuff out they were working on it some more, but we weren't taking any chances.

Beautiful. Is this a corner oceanfront unit (with the camera pointing north), or is 5012 an ocean view unit (and how many units back from the front is it)?

I'm going to sneak in a couple non-MVCs from my Hawaii trip (but they are all part of the Marriott family):

Maui: WKORV - Ocean View 2605/2607, from an angle.

Kauai: Sheraton Coconut Beach Resort - Ocean Front 134 (free upgrade from a 35K points reservation!)

Kauai: Waiohai - Ocean View 6205 (FYI - literally everyone ahead of me @ check-in was complaining about their view. I'll consider myself lucky - first time @ Waiohai, so wasn't sure what to expect.)

Takeaway: if you really want to see the ocean from your room, fork over $$$ for OF.

Vistana does have it's own thread;

Vistana views from a BALCONY - Post your best photos!

All, One of my favorite threads on the Marriott board is when TUGgers post the view from their balcony -- it's a great tool to get a sense for what the view plane is like from different properties and buildings. I do not know if there is a similar thread here on Starwood board, but if not, I...

Just stayed at Ko Olina in 30440 Naia building, 4th floor across from the gym. Dreaded parking lot view. So bad not worthy of a picture! On a positive note I met the famous @frank808!


I’ve now upgraded to Maui Ocean Club, ocean front. 3rd floor Lanai building!

Nice pic of the new digs.

It was great meeting you and your husband. One day we will make it to NYC. Have a great vacation and hope to meet up here in Hawaii again.

Every view is worthy of a photo. This isn't a brag thread. It can be good to see the worst view we can expect at a certain property.

I forgot to post this view from the parking lot from Ko Olina, Moana building.

During our stay in May, I wanted to see the dreaded wall view since I haven’t come across a picture on TUG.
So we took these from the parking lot. As you can see, these ground floor rooms face the wall.

Yup, it's bad. Thanks for sharing it!

To follow up on @Theiggy 's Ko Olina experience here is the view from our Mountain View room in the Moana tower, room 20427 (per my folio - I hope that's right). Total luck of the draw. This was an II exchange, and I asked for something in the Naia tower. Yeah, that didn't happen. I was absolutely fine with our room but the only problem that I had with it was the road noise which started up early in the morning. It was nice to have the shade on the balcony in the afternoon though.

I'm curious if you could see the planes on final approach to HNL? That is why I requested the Naia building - my dad is a aviation geek and if he couldn't see the ocean he would be just as happy watching the planes. Alas, we weren't anywhere close so we had to do our plane spotting from Longboards with a drink in hand.

I honestly don’t know about the planes because I never set foot on that balcony! Mine was also an II exchange, Mountain View but I think bc it was the dedicated 2 bedroom it was in Naia, supposedly that’s where they are located. I really enjoyed Ko Olina. It was beautiful.

Thanks. This was the only photo that I took too. We did have coffee out there in the morning and spent some time out there if we were "home" in the afternoon, but why spend time there when you can go somewhere outside near the water? I am not generally a fan of large resorts but I just love Ko Olina. It's one of my favorites for sure.

I’ve taken a picture of the Ko Olina lagoons while on inter-island flights so I’m guessing you should be able to see those planes from Ko Olina? But we were still pretty high up at the time.

I did happen to take a pic of the Ko Olina lagoons. That’s the Marriott at the bottom. And Aulani at the top
I don’t know why the pic is rotated
