All,

Does anyone have any pictures from the lanai from the first or second floor of the WKORV or WKORV(N) units? I would think that someone using StarOptions to reserve the new OF category would most likely be on a lower floor (with owners getting the higher floors). I seem to recall that there is a hill or berm between WKORV and the ocean and I'm curious if the ocean is really visible from the lower floors. Please advise and thanks!

Best,

Greg

I am currently on my second floor lanai at WKORVN and the view is splendid. We are not ocean front, but have a great ocean view.

We were once "upgraded" to first floor - ocean front south, and I thought the view was awful. I'd far rather have a high Ocean View location:

Bldg. 3 - first floor center

Ocean View - Bldg. 3 - 6th floor - about half-way down:

Denise, thank you -- this exactly confirms what I would be afraid of. I'd rather pay the lower points and take my chances on a decent view from the OV section. I also think the Resort View at Nanea might be very nice, similar to many of the Waiohai Island View rooms as the grounds at Waiohai are lovely.

Best,

Greg

WKORV OF deluxe 5th floor v. 2nd floor. It's a bit deceiving because it was overcast the day I took the first picture.
