Not bad for the dreaded building 13!

Agreed, it is a little loud from the utilities next door, but we are just happy to be here and have a high floor with a view. First visit for us!

What's the room number? This is definitely one of the OF views at WKORV-N that is not particularly good if you are on the lower floors.

There’s a view of one of ground floor units posted on Flyertalk.com

Room 5411. Great view from this floor but not good in the lower floors

Thanks. Yes I think we stayed in 5x08 or 5x10 once and were luckily on the 4th or 5th floor. It would be very disappointing to get something described as Ocean Front and not even be able to see the ocean.

Harborside. Atlantis is such an amazing unique place

This is the view from the “oceanfront” villa 3 floors below us. Room 5111 WKORVN

Here's our view at WKORV:

OF 4th floor. The unit has just been renovated. They are renovating the units just below, but that hasn't been an issue. Front desk said we're the first to occupy this unit post renovation.

I certainly hope this isn't a room they give to owners unless they book exceptionally late. Given the high MF I would be livid if this were my room. More likely an II trading, Bonvoy, or SO unit. I know at Hilton Hawaiian village they save the less desirable rooms for the RCI exchangers.

If I had spent extra SOs for OF, I would be very disappointed, if I received this unit. Fortunately, due to TUG, I knew to make the SO OF reservation at WKORV.

Do you smell or get smoke or noise from the kitchen below from this unit?

As the majority of OF is usually taken up during the 8-12 month window I'm guessing they often have little choice but to assign this to owners. Otherwise they would be contravening the conditions under which the sales were made. I'm glad I didn't opt to pay the OF premium (OK - I couldn't afford it ) and I've never had a view as bad as that from my IV.

I am an OF owner and (knock on wood) have never had a view anything like that. Only 5th and 6th floor during premium summer weeks (including July 4). However I always book at the stroke of midnight. I hope my luck never runs out. If I was late for booking, I would pick a week later so I can get midnight priority. This year I missed midnight for the week prior to my desired week and opted to book a week later at midnight to avoid getting a bad room. This photo is a real incentive!

Not at all. No noise or smell on the 4th floor.

To post the picture into your message, you have to upload the picture to a website like PhotoBucket (free) resize it to be about 700 pixels wide, and then copy and paste the IMG link into your post.

I think big caveat of this method is the watermark shown on the picture though.

The post you are quoting is six years old. The forums no longer require one to upload a photo to a different hosting site. They can simply be dragged and dropped into a new post on the forum. No watermark issues either.

I liked that view.!!!

This is the photo taken from the 5th floor room at St. Augustin building located within Sheraton Vistana Villages. It is nice, but it is little bit expensive.

 

[CalGalTraveler]

To compare with prior photos of WKORVN OF: As an owner, here are the views we received for an owner stay booked at midnight 12 mo. prior for peak summer stays. We are are not Elite = pond scum resale owners! These units have been amazing and is my experience so far. YMMV.

First photo is Building 8 5th floor 2019 (IMO, the views from this unit were on par with the WKORV Center Views) (Summer peak week)

Second photo is Building 8 6th Floor 2021 (July 4th week!)

As our kids age out of school, I expect to book during shoulder season and would expect the best units as long as I book at midnight.
