Also exchanged a second unit for friends to join us on this trip. The interval code on this exchange was for an oceanview room but I requested we be together- and they accommodated with an oceanfront unit for them too!!

WOW..extremely lucky..We were at the Aruba Ocean Club last month on a Interval exchange that was coded OF…upon checking in I told the associate that the exchange code from Interval was a 2BR OF unit…she looked at me like I had 2 heads and proceeded to tell me we were getting a OV Villa..no complaints though..the Villa was like new with a decent view of the pool and the beach.

Yes! I had actually requested we be together in StarFish as I figured that would be the most likely oceanfront they might accommodate. Man was I excited when I saw what we got instead!!

Ritz Vail south view.

Got a pretty obstructed location but we don’t come with high expectations when it’s not our home resort and view is not guaranteed. At least it was better than the north view facing I-70 and was close to the main elevators - noise not an issue here (we usually prefer further away but some rooms here are a long hike).

I think we have stayed in that villa in the past. Was it a 2BR with den? I like that it has a small balcony since most ski resort timeshares have no balcony. We find it peaceful there on that side of the resort.

Interesting week here at the Custom House. Offering up three views from Room 1903. We arrived June 2 to a sunny and beautiful day with a day-time high of 87 degrees. That same night, a storm system moved in and the next day we saw a 30 degree swing with a day-time high of only 52 degrees. A few days later, the sun finally showed up again. Last photo shows a sunrise with a red sun due to the smoke from the Quebec wildfires.

Just returned from Maui today. We had a 3BR OF in Napili and a 2BR OF in Molokai. Both views are great!

Lovely views. Maui Ocean Club has the best views! Their OF and OV, are really stunning regardless of building.

Gotta ask though, which view did you prefer? :) We love Molokai 2BR OF, just so close to the water and truly hard to beat!

Not sure which I actually prefer. I only stayed in the 3BR Napili unit. A couple of our kids had the Molokai unit while the other kids roomed with us in Napili. The large corner wraparound balcony on Molokai is nice and being so close to the water offers great sounds. The large balcony of the 3BR Napili unit is also super nice. Overall I'm a little partial to Napili probably due to the rooms and some sentimental value. If offered either I would take either.

My Son and Wife absolutely loved their first floor Corner Unit Ocean Front studio in the Molokai Tower on their honeymoon this past April

And kids have a decent view facing west on the other side of the building.

If you’ve not been here since October 2022, all rooms were completely renovated in October 2022. Much lighter colors and a more modern decor.

How far is it from all the street mess seen on TV these days ?
