We love Ranchos. I call and have them put on my reservation a request for Building 6 B. Guaranteed no parking lot view, either courtyard or landscape. We always have had that request filled, maybe because most people are requesting Cabanas or Casistas.
PS While I know many don't care because they keep their curtains closed, I do care. I had a Cabana room that while it didn't face parking, it faced walkway to parking. From early in morning until late at night there was lots of noise from folks and electric carts coming and going. At POR we had a room that luckily tucked just inside a hallway but for others there were car headlights, car noise, slamming doors and people talking at all hours. It's not a view issue for me as much as a noise issue.
