We’ve been to Kohala Suites and King’s Land on the Big Island several times each, but this is our first time at The Bay Club. Pleased with our 1BR Penthouse room assignment. Was expecting just a parking lot view (which we do have on one side of our wraparound lanai), but we also have this nice view of a golf course tee box from the other side of the lanai.

View South along 6th Avenue

View across the street (6th Avenue)
W57th - 1 Bdr PH 2602. There is a picture from 2502 previously posted, this is one floor above.

There are two PH units on each of the top two floors - 2501/2502 and 2601/2602 . The 02 PH units are on the eastern half of the W57 building (closer to 6th Ave) and you can see a large white building that is directly south along the more western half of W57. I did not see the 01 PH unit but I suspect that it's view will be entirely blocked by this building as the 01 PH units are on the western half of the W57 building.

View from the living room (directly south, can see the Empire State way in the background.)

View from the bathroom. You can see more and more of the white building blocking the view (the bathroom is the western-most part of 2602).

While this is not quite a picture of the view, this is how the tub fills from the ceiling. I have never seen anything like this before.
@raddoc, I'll see your tub fill from the ceiling and raise you a rainhead shower that's ~2 or 3 feet across in the ceiling:

@Eric B - I think you're just showing off now!!!! ;-)

Those penthouses look amazing!
Guilty as charged!! The restaurant here is great and quite convenient, by the way. Still no owners lounge.

View of the new HGVC Quin across the street from W57 as viewed from the 23rd floor. It appears there are a few units with penthouse balconies. Looks like it has about 16 floors. W57 has 26 floors.

This is a 1br Premiere Penthouse unit at The Residences. I figure for the extra points the view would be better. Next time I know to save the points and go with a standard 1br unit.

I was there at the same time - we had 3 workers out on the "balcony" during working hours.

Zoom in on the "Spirit Of Aloha" catamaran, with Hawaii Nautical from our room.

I was a bit concerned about going on it last Monday (4/1/2024) for a snorkeling trip, as it was advertised as a "3-hour tour".
