Arrived yesterday at Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club after a week at HGVC King’s Land in Waikoloa on the Big Island.

Since we are using DPs for this trip to MOC instead of our EOY Odd deeded OV week, we didn’t expect the great 9th floor ocean view we had last year. We also only booked about 11 months out, so we have a late time stamp. With all that working against us, I still think this third floor dedicated 1BR unit in Lanai Tower still has a darn good view. Pretty much supports the opinion that most OVs at MOC are pretty good.

I love that place, pool is awesome! The mvci staff has been real kind to me there.
I *really* loved my stay - the villa and balcony were fabulous, the service was amazing, and the pool area's mix of saltwater/sand and freshwater pools was really nice. My only gripe is that while the resort is near everything it isn't actually next to anything. But it is a very small gripe in the grand scheme of things.

It is stormy, windy, rainy, noisy, and cool in West Maui today. Never have we seen it like this.

+1. My weather app says it is 66 degrees outside here in Ka'anapali; by local standards, it's freezing. "Winter storm" conditions on Haleakala.

I like it. More updated with colors that are popular now. Although I suspect in 10-15-20 years it will look dated as well, when color trends shift yet again.

Wow. That's a pretty white sand beach.
It is. No waves to speak of from a swimming standpoint...but they do make a beautiful noise at night as you are going to sleep.

Beautiful day. Empty resort, beaches, pool etc. We just can't use any of these amenities, just admire it.

On another note we are down to about 11 occupied villas at this time.

Grounds keepers are still working and pool personnel are restaining the rocks around pool area. Lots of maintenance being done in rooms also. Like changing light bulbs, fixing broken hinges etc.
