Vistana views from a BALCONY - Post your best photos!

It's mine for weeks 14 & 15! Just picked those weeks up resale and am looking forward to getting there next year.
Nice!
Having two weeks in one room is perfect.
 
Booked a 2 night stay over Valentines (titanium status) on points at the Cadillac Resort in South Beach, FL & paid $80 to upgrade to an Oceanview room. Also, submitted upgrade request using 2 suite nights. Two days before checking in, received confirmation of oceanfront 1br suite. Upon check in, told "sorry, that was a mistake, we are completely full". P.S. you just got Bonvoyed!

Yes I did. But had I known I was going to get Bonvoyed like that, I would have picked a different resort.

I don't blame you. That view is downright depressing and I would rather stay home. Thanks for the heads up to avoid the Cadillac Resort in South Beach.

Doesn’t look like a Westin/Vistana/Sheraton timeshare balcony view to me!
 
That’s my unit week 7! Love that view.
Oh wow! Just saw this. We were in your unit!! We wondered who was in our unit. We could see ours from our balcony.

PS. A few items were missing and the bathtub was dripping but we made them aware so hopefully everything will be good for next visit.

Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas, Oceanfront Deluxe, Building 3, third floor.

Taken from the lanai lounge chair on Saturday when we checked in (before the rainy week began)

You are in out building, just down the halls (different floors) but in nicer views! I loved the parking garage in that building. Are they still having hula shows on Friday/Saturday? Am hoping they will still be there in August.

Ended up really appreciating the stopover for the flight rather than getting up at 3 am, and the Hyatt at LAX was clearly renovated and extremely nice, including a hot ordered breakfast served on real plates ($10 for 2 in the $98 room fee). But LAX is such a dump of an airport; on par with MIA and Laguardia (which, thankfully I haven't flown out of in years and hear they have finally fixed).

Not to tout my home city but SFO is like the Taj Mahal compared to LAX. How do los angelenios tolerate such a horrible airport?

Sorry, I don’t know. We didn’t participate in any resort activities due to the bum knee. :confused:
 
We arrived here a WKORV Sat May 8th and got a wonderful room, 2629. I would upload our fantastic balcony views, but in don’t know how(photo to large) and those of you who own or have stayed here know how beautiful the balcony views are from this resort. Mahalo

Yes, our cell phones continue to improve the picture quality which increases the size of the file yet TUG continues to require a smaller size photo. It's frustrating!

Glad you're enjoying the view!
 
Yeah, I couldn’t upload the original photos from my phone or iPad. I did a screen capture of the original photo then used the edit function to resize it. ;)

Yes, I use Photoshop Editor to resize the photo.
 
When I attach a file/picture from my IPhone, after I pick a picture from my album it comes up and then along the bottom it says how big it is. If I hit that along the bottom, it gives three sizes I can choose. I am usually able to chose large and then just hit add and it goes on. I didn’t set anything up, it has just always worked that way.
