My review of WKORV-N

Denise,

I guess you are saying what II say doesn't matter since what you see on confirmation is not the room you will be getting, right? (Sometimes I like to repeat to confirm my understanding)
When would you know for II exchangers or renters which room you will be getting?
I will be just happy to just get my foot in Westin resorts.

Even for Starwood owners - the room number on our confirmation is not necessarily the one we get, so Yes, you are correct. The front desk says they don't assign the actual units until the day before.

When you check in - even as owners, they won't tell us before that, or that's been my experience anyway.

As far as the two unit numbers you posted, IF you actually get one of those two units, the one at WKORV (242321) is a far superior view over the one at WKORVN.

Your view would be very similar to this, except from the other side of the pool and one floor lower. I don't want to get your hopes up, but if you are choosing between the two units you posted, I'd keep this one.

DavidnRobin,

didn't you have a my homepage link and you had a picture of a wonderful resort that you will be going soon. what happened to it?
Or am I mistaken for someone else?
I want to see the resort and the picture again.
thanks.
 
No homepage for me - DeniseM has one.

I do post links to our vacation photos here on TUG - and very long trip reports (sometimes)
 
Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but is there towel service by the pool at the resort? If not, do people bring beach towels from home?
 
We've always gotten towels at the pool. Don't bother with towels from home - let Starwood wash them every day!
 
We are at WKORV-N right now and as far as towels:
Beach towels are available at the pool for use at the pool or at the beach.
If you want the bath towels refreshed, just call and they will bring more. For the mid-week "tidy" service, they replace towels (that are on the floor)/paper/soap if you like and change the linen on the beds.

The opening of building 7 and the OF units have added more people but there is no problem getting a chair by the pool. There can be a wait at the gym for the cardio equipment so timing is important.

WKORV numbers their villas by building, floor, and unit. So the ones closest to the ocean would be:

7669/70, 7671/72, 7673/74
7569/70, 7571/72, 7573/74

Around levels 3/4, you're going to get a lot of trees impeding your view, so I'd personally opt for a higher floor higher back (e.g. 7679/80) than, say, 7369/70.

67/68 won't give a direct ocean view like the north facing side, but you'll have a pool view followed by an ocean view if that would appeal to you more.
 
I will get the map and start marking off how high the trees are and where they block the view. I am sure this is a common complaint but we are 5 star and have ocean view and have yet to be upgraded. This is a dead issue but still frustrating. I am hoping that marking the map while we are here will give us a better idea of what to request, if it makes a difference.
