Thank you, David. I would love to visit there but cannot convince my husband yet. He likes HI that much so will not do any exchanges. Even a cruise would be OK but same problem still.

Do they drive on the left side too? I wouldn't like to try that at my age but there should be excursions to the best snorkeling spots, I guess. A cruise with a few snorkeling trips would be best for us but I don't want to go alone or sleep with a stranger. No way!

We had to switch villas since our 2nd week was on SOs (at exactly 8 months)

Added: I used the SO from the WPORV studio for a 1Bd (6 nites). The studio only has Q bed, and lacks counter space. Happy with our choice to switch.

Can I use your pic for my balcony view, since we were in 7303 while you guys were there?

Nanea 2507 (10/9/2017) looking W, looking E, looking W again at sunset. The villa directly overlooks the open space between Nanea and WKORV-N and is Resort View.

HUGE lanai with this unit. Bigger than any others around except the one right next to us. We are above the lobby so our balcony creates a large overhang for the area below. Couldn't be much happier unless we were directly ocean front! (We can see the ocean though! ) Only draw back is we can't see through the solid wall while lying on the full size pool chair loungers. (First world problems). Kinda far from the grills, but we'll survive.

Just saw this thread for the first time and wanted to add our only VSE stay, the Westin Los Cabos, back in February.

Westin Princeville - #5313 (Bldg. 5, 3rd floor, unit 13) We thought this was a good view for a II exchange, but next time, I'd request Bldg. 4, to get away from the parking lot.

And the noise from the compressor?
Sorry to have missed you.

The compressor was kind of annoying, but at least it is a steady humm - not on and off, so after awhile it becomes white noise.
