MOC 2 Bdrm Ocean View Single vs. Double entry

[Luvthebeach23]

Very helpful! Thank you!

I spoke to a manager earlier today, she said the single entry is on the Hyatt side of Lahaina Tower, basically reiterating what 10spro said.

I think those near-corner, only high floor, ocean view rooms may be the best value in the complex. Great views to the ocean and peek-a-boo views of the mountains.

I've never been to MOC Lahaina/Napili Villas, but I will comment that I always prefer to take a Lock off Two Bedroom Villa versus a dedicated Two Bedroom Villa whenever I have the opportunity.

Why? Most lock offs have an extra refrigerator (although small) and microwave oven, and I find at times that both will sometimes come in very handy when having folks visit.

The second bedroom has a min-kitchen, whether it's a lockoff or not... at the MOC Lahaina/Napili Villas.

I think it depends. Often the dedicated units have 2 beds rather than the king (usually) or queen and a pullout for a lock off. The lock off also have the second access which can be good for adults and bad for kids. Also the beds in the second BR of a 3 BR can be smaller beds frequently doubles. For older resorts like Harbour Pointe and Monarch, the second BR has twin beds and they sleep 6. IMO it's important to investigate the options for a given resort and room type to avoid surprises.

Sorry to jump in but I have a related question. I have reserved a 2BR “dedicated” garden view in the Lahaina Villas. Someone had mentioned for example that 3211 and 5211 had great views. Is that series of rooms 1211, 2211, 3211, 4211, and 5211 the only “dedicated” 2 BR units? Or are there others?

 

[GregT]

The Room 11 stack of units are the only dedicated 2BR units at Lahaina Villas (ie single door entry). All of the other 2BR units in Lahaina Villas are lockoffs. The Room 11 stack is one of the "view opportunities" where a higher floor in the Room 11 stack will have a very nice ocean view. The first six floors of Room 11 are MG and the next 6 floors are OV, so 6th floor is ideal. The next unit stack (Rooms 12/13) are all MG, so even going up to the 10th floor is MG. I hope you get one of these!

Best,

Greg

Thank you so much for that information. When I looked up the reservation in the Marriott website, it shows I have Island View in Napili Tower. I had spoken to someone at the Marriott in Maui yesterday, before knowing this, and he had said that for right now, all Lahaina Villas guests/owners have been placed in Napili because they are painting. Maybe that's why my reservation shows Napali?? Hopefully by December, they'll be painting Napili and my reservation gets changed back to Lahaina Villas. If anyone knows more about this, please jump in.

I just spoke to someone at MOC. They said ZZAF is a two bedroom unit in Napili towers, Island View, and that ZZTS is the dedicated 2 BR garden view in Lahaina Villas. She said she had a list with view categories in front of her that she was looking at. (but, but, my TUGG experts say otherwise, LOL)

She said painting at Lahaina Villas is almost done, but it may be unlikely they will open up both towers unless occupancy dramatically increases. Napili is next to be painted, but even then they are not going to open up the Lahaina Villas unless occupancy demands it.

It would be good to confirm. This is what we have in the View list. IIRC, these were validated against Marriott.com

LOL I should have teleconferenced you in as my subject matter expert. I did mention TUGG and said various Marriott owners have complied a list. She was pretty firm that her list was correct. I saw a post from a few years back in this forum that ZZAF is in the Napili tower

 

[dioxide45]

ZZAF is indeed an Island View. Look at the web address after clicking the link. zzaf. You can actually replace the code at the end for each villa type at MOC Sequel. Looks like my list is wrong

Look at 7211. The legend indicates it's a 2 bedroom unit but appears as a unit with only one entry (only one room number). Hopefully this is helpful...

For those who are more familiar with this chart than I am... We're here at MOC now, Lanai 1BR oceanfront unit, orginally 2nd floor and we talked them up to 7th floor, could not be any better. Tomorrow is moving day to Lahaina/Napili 1BR oceanfront. We called today to ask if they can tell us where, and of course they cannot, but let it slip we will be on the first floor...omg, could there be anything worse than the first floor. Just got back from a quick property tour, first floor in Napili could be awful, but first floor Lahaina may be acceptable. The actual unit code from our II exchange is PLAT FXD OFRONT LAH2. I take that to mean Lahaina rather than Napili, so that's better news, and looking at the chart, I think it would put us around 7208? Am I reading the chart correctly?

 

[TXTortoise]

7000 is 7th floor, 8000 is 8th, etc. With the exception of fixed weeks, Interval and Marriott won’t specify floor/unit, just view and room type.

7208 would be the middle one bedroom OF of 2BR unit. Awesome level, over the trees but low enough to hear the surf.and with full length windows and open rails on the lanai for great view.

I own 7209-10 2BR in the corner. 3BR on the other side.

I need 2 - 2bedroom units. Are there more then 1- 2BR units in Lahaina Villas (single door entry) on each floor? We would like our units to be close to each other. So when choosing a view can I get 2 - stack 11 - 6 floor or up? Would it be better to get a single door entry and a 2 door entry? Also what is MG?

 

[dioxide45]

Also what is MG?

Mountain/Garden View

Oh yes! Thanks!!

Thanks, this is worth saving and printing.

Are you booking with points? If you book two MG designation units, you could request them to be on the same floor. One of them might be unit 11, but there really isn’t anything special or advantageous about the Single Entry Door — it’s more of an oddity in the building.

It’s more important to get two on the same floor and because there is a fair quantity of MG’s, you might be on the same floor. Good luck and I hope this helps!

Best,

Greg

Does anyone know how accurate this map is? It's been kicking around for awhile, wasn't sure if it decades old and still accurate. I just got an II trade for HOBOF which is dedicated 1BR ocean front. I had this same trade a couple years ago and we were 8th floor Lanai tower. As I recall, it was a dedicated unit, but that doesn't match this map. I guess happy to be in any unit that's ocean front, not complaining, just wondering how accurate the map it, or was, or if something has changed.

 

[TXTortoise]

No changes that I’ve ever seen or read about. There are some 1BR OF listed here.looks like five in Lanai and a bunch in Molokai.

I’m not aware of any dedicated 1BR OF in the new towers.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I'm in the old towers. The map doesn't match up with the prior 1BR I had ocean front Lanai 8th floor.

Sorry, saw that and made a bunch of edits, but don’t think they posted. Was it possible they gave you an 8th floor in Lanai that was part of a lockoff. Only dedicated that high are in Molokai.

I must be remembering it wrong, had to be a lockoff that high in Lanai tower. Still, who's to complain with a 1BR at MOC.
