They have done this in other threads, so why not a WM version.

The view might not be "all that" in these images, but look around the area, and it's pretty stinking amazing. Moab is awesome!

Worldmark Kihei - Unit 8309 - 2 bedroom Queen
Photos taken July 9, 2022
View from balcony and master bedroom are similar.

Bunch of cars and trees in the way, but it is only one block from the ocean on the south side of Maui.
Perfect base to explore the island.

Great idea, Sandy! I think WM may not get quite the exposure of other systems and there are certainly some fantastic properties amongst the 90+ options within our group. I’ll try to add what I can and thanks for sharing!

Moab looks very similar to Worldmark South Mountain Preserve. Looks to be built at base of mountain side.

Not sure of the design of the resort - it's new, but likely built on the footprint of what has worked in other resorts. It was quite comfortable staying there. Check my review of the place for lots of interior images.

The town of Moab itself is built along a river that runs down the state. The hills around it are more cliff faces than mountains. Nothing is very tall, but it's all quite amazing to see. Arches National Park is just north of town, and is filled with amazing geographic monoliths and arches and outcroppings. Just incredible to see it. But then a bit further north is Canyonlands National Park, which I find even more amazing. It's like the Grand Canyon spread out, and includes the confluence where the Colorado River and Green River merge. Further downstream, the Colorado River flows through Lake Powell, and then through the Grand Canyon. It's incredible country, and well worth the trouble to go see it.

Views from the living room balcony of our 3rd Floor unit in the front building at WM Kona, August 31, 2022. There was a small view of the ocean from the second bedroom, across the exterior walkway.

The great view from the living room balcony of our Building 8, fourth floor unit at WM Kihei, on Maui, September 7, 2022. This amazing view was unexpected.

We were on the ground floor in Depoe Bay (July 2021) and the views were amazing. One of our best exchanges ever.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the temperature spectrum: WM Steamboat Springs, CO

One morning, this hot air balloon landed in the parking lot just north of the resort.

WM Red River (smallest resort in the system, I believe…..only 21 total units!)
WM Red River is the place to go when you "want to get away from it all." Remote. I did not have cell service there for years (and that was the perfect "excuse"). Choose your "beer flights" at the Red River Brewery, then walk a growler of your favorite back to the resort.

To this day, and I do not know why, my directions in Red River, NM are exactly 180 degrees reversed, and I cannot correct it. It is sooo disorienting when the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, and I have to think, "No, the ski hill cannot possibly face south."
