DS (Kelly) & I just returned from WKORV-N. We were there last week. We were in unit 6153/6154, on the ground floor, right off of the lobby. We were staying with owners who purchased an island view.
Ordinarily, one might expect that to be an iffy location. Not so in this case. We could see the gardens, and a bit of the ocean from our unit. Not a stellar view, but better than I expected given we were in an island view room. I was surprised to see that all the rooms face toward the ocean; there are no parking lot/dumpster views.
Another good thing about the room location: we were only steps from our vehicle.
I agree with the poster that indicated the pools seem a bit small for the size of the resort, although I might add that they didn't seem crowded. I was only in the pool once, but I did like the setup. Most of my time was spent in the ocean. Our friends used the pool a lot and were happy with it. Kelly spent a lot of time basking in the sun; there was never a problem finding empty chairs any time of day. I guess February isn't as busy as I assumed it is. Every place we went on the island seemed less crowded than our last visit (Thanksgiving 2005).
By the way - to all the people who've indicated that there's good snorkeling right in front of the resort: you weren't kidding. What a treat!! I saw more types of fish than I could count, and even a couple of turtles. There were dolphins out there one day too!
Hopefully I'll get around to writing/posting a formal review. I will say that when it's written, there will be very few negatives in it, because I don't have any real complaints.
