St Kitts View Help?

[rthib]

Using Points.
Two Stays of 3 nights (Staying at hotel for free in between on club trip)
Can get Garden View (1 or 2 Balconies)
Ocean View (1 Balcony)
for first
and
Garden View (1 or 2 Balconies)
Ocean Side (2 Balconies)

Was thinking Ocean View for first since it is only an extra 75 points and Garden View 2 Balconies for second since it 225 points less. Or Should I do all garden or all ocean.

Thanks.

You don’t mention Ocean Side, is that because the points needed are too high as they have the very best views.
We own Garden View Exterior (the 2 balcony variant, which has a better layout for us).
I would say that the better Ocean View units (on the higher floors - no lifts) offer better views than the Garden View units, as you wouuld expect.
I believe though that the best Garden View units have at least as good a view as the worst Ocean view units (ground floor close to the sea wall), possibly for some better?
The trouble is you can’t be sure which Ocean View unit you will be allocated, whatever you request.
This is why we just bought Garden View as a it was a significant cost saving and there are no bad views in the resort.

Barry, we are staying there in April and have reserved a garden view room with two balconies. Based on your comment above, is it better to request a ground floor unit?

Thanks.

It is rather a complicated view designation mapping at St Kitts, which varies by building / floor.
Normally with MVC, we choose the highest floor possible.
At St Kitts, with Garden View, there are very limited upper floor options and we prefer the larger ground floor terrace (compared to the upper balconies) and tend to request Camp Bay House with an open view across the pool and if you are lucky just a glimpse of the ocean too.

Thank you Barry. We usually request a higher floor too, but I think we will go for a ground floor this time and see what we get.

Best regards.

Good luck.
I have never actually seen a view designation map published for St Kitts.
When there was still a Sales Office on site, I did get them to hand draw for me which were where.
I am in Phuket at the mkment though, so don’t have that available.
The only simple buildings are Jessup, Westbury and Palmetto Houses which are exclusively Ocean Side.
All other buildings are different combinations of views by floor and even location on floor.

Ocean Side is option I mention in second stay.
First stay is Ocean View vs Garden View?
Second is Ocean Side vs Garden?

For First is Ocean View worth the small amount of point upgrade?
For Second, is Ocean Side worth the larger point upgrade?
If I go with Garden is 2 balconies or 1 balcony better?

OK, I see that now from looking back at your original post.
For First, the better Ocean Views can certainly be worth a small amount of point upgrade.
You just can’t guarantee getting the better ones though and if you don’t I find the best Garden Views are better than a small number of Ocean Views (just personal choice)
It is a relatively low cost / risk strategy though to use the extra points.
For second, if I could spare the larger number of points I would definitely choose Oceanside which has some great views especially on high floors in Westbury and Palmetto.
