I currently have an Interval exchange for an Island View unit at Westin Kaanapali North.

Is there any downside to retrading that unit on Interval last minute for hopes for a better view?
 
No downsides since the only options are up. But chances are you will end up with the same and we don’t really know if the resort honors the unit codes as deposited.
 
Worth a try. I’m here now with an Interval trade. Week deposited was ocean view and they did give me an ocean view room.
 
I did the retrade. The code on Interval is the same (i.e. DZZAB) so still an Island view.

Did you add the confirmation to Marriott and it provides more details and see if it’s consistent with the code?

This is good information to know to better understand how they are handling unit codes and villa assignments on trades. I like for them to be consistent and it seems they are taking the path that Marriott has at most properties of retaining the view that was on the unit deposited.

I hope that’s true - we have an II retrade into St. Kitt's in a couple of weeks which says oceanfront, so hoping it will actually be that. Unless the sargassum is bad, in which case we may be hoping for the back side! Lol
