We received a confirmation from Interval for WKORN for a 2 bedroom. Is anyone familar with the unit code DZZAB. In addition, as a Vistana owner, how likely are we to be put into a unit that matches the Interval code.



 
If you have the Marriott confirmation number, you can lookup the unit type and assigned view on Marriott.com.
 
Do resorts honor Interval reservation codes?
Even as owners at Ko'Olina we received [Interval-Exchange] a Parking-Lot view.
The best they did for us as owners was upgrade us to a higher floor with a Parking-lot view.

It depends on the resort. Are you saying at Ko'Olina that your confirmation was for an ocean view yet they assigned you to island view? It is possible you had island view yet just got the worst island view assignment. We've exchanged into ocean view at KoOlina once and were given the ocean view.

Most (many) of the resorts keep you in the unit type you are confirmed to.

I found it. It's an Island view. Are the Island views OK at WKORN? If it is a view of the mountains, I'm good with that.

They are fine. Usually inward facing in building 6 looking over the koi ponds with a sneek peek out to the ocean.

Yes, I love any unit at WKORN, if it's an exchange. You are likely to be on the main floor, overlooking the pirate pool. Cannot say the same about getting a parking lot/ mountain view at the south building. I begged for them to give us something different years ago, and they wouldn't give us a better view. It was an exchange, and I am always happy to get anything via exchange. Now I never take an exchange for south.
 
I can trade the 2 Bdrm WKORN week for a 2 Bdrm at The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas. I think I should keep WKORN. Thoughts?

Personally I'd stay with WKORVN. There is a chance of parking structure views at Nanea unless you get OF.

+1

About 15-20% of the Resort View units at Nanea units have that parking structure view -- a view you do not want.

I just receied an "HOVOG " which I think is studio portion of an ocean view at WKORV...anythoughts on that being honored? And would folks find it desirable?

In my experience, *usually* you get the view represented by the unit code, but they specifically point out that the view designated isn’t a guarantee. I suspect that if (for example) they need to move someone on an owner reservation to a room of that type, they won’t hesitate to downgrade an Interval trade to do so. II trades usually work out well but you should know that you’re low man on the totem pole, so to speak.

The IV & OV studios at WKORV-South do NOT have lanais. But all of the studios at WKORV-N have lanais. So it just depends on what's important to you. For us, a lanai is a must on vacation, because we love to sit outside.

Another plus for WKORV-North is that it does not have any parking lot views.

So for a II exchange, I would choose WKORV-North.

I got this unit for my MGC studio ( so I was OK with it) and it is next July 30, also, I did take ePlus. I would like to move to WKORVN...can you do an ongoing search? I did not see that option for ePlus.

No, once you take an exchange, you have to book what you can see online with eplus retrade. No more ongoing searches. It's too bad. I could do well with that option.

You were right. We ended up with building 6 overlooking the koi ponds. We were on the side that the faces the pool and ocean so we had a great view for an Island view.

Thanks to all who recommended North. We were happy with our unit.
