OKW building suggestions

[dacky041208]

Alright, I've done a good bit of searching, but haven't been able to find too much specific info on OKW. We'll be staying there this summer, and I'm trying to figure out where to request to stay. I'm thinking somewhere in buildings 23-27 so we can be at the 1st bus stop and a short walk to HH. But when you stay at OKW, what building/area do you like to stay at and why? Thank you!

11 - 14 and 23 - 26 are Hospitality House category so if you want a building in this range you must request HH category. Our family likes 45 or 46 for canal view from balcony and these are still an easy walk to HH area. Or Turtle Pond Pool area is a favorite too because we like what that pool offers; covered picnic table area, small arcade and quickserve counter (limited choices & counter is not always open throughout entire year so just wanted to mention that).

If you are booking a 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom villa and would like to have a second entrance into master bathroom in the event you will have guests sleeping in living room who will need to use that master bathroom, then you must request building numbered 30 or higher; buildings that are numbered below 30 will only have one entrance into master bathroom and that entrance means walking through the master bedroom itself.

Thanks for your reply. Does anyone else have a favorite area at OKW?

Hello....we love staying in bld 37, 36 and 43. All give you a nice view, they are close to turtle pond pool and the bus stop. They are also a nice 5 minute stroll to the main pool. I find them to be pretty quiet. I have also stayed in building 45 with a nice view of the canal, but we still prefer to be closer to Turtle Pond.

Hope that helps

We stayed in Building 15 and found it very nice. It was quiet and not in the HH catagory, but still not a far walk from the HH area at all.

If you are not already booked in HH catagory, then you can NOT request buildings 11-14 or 23-26, since those are all in the HH booking catagory. My suggestion would be buildings 15, 16, 62, 63, or 64 as long as you want to be close to HH without booking in that catagory. We really like 15, and 16, and LOVE buildings 45 and 46, but those are on the canal and not near HH.

My suggestion is first, NOT buiding 40. Lots of road noise and little pomd view. Worst, we only saw 2 ducks and no bunnies all week. Buidings 18 and 15 have been our favorites so far.

Yes, they are, I believe, charcoal style and they are near the pools.

Yes, there are BBQ charcoal grills at each of the 4 pools. You need to supply your own charcoal.

Hospitality house is the first bus stop for drop off from the parks. It's the last stop for pick up to the parks.

We just stayed in 1913 a couple of weeks ago and we loved it. Our patio looked right out to the quiet pool but we had privacy because of the foliage. You had to walk around the building to get to the pool. (Although the kids could easily have hopped over the railing.) Very convenient to the jacuzzi later at night. (Which was open til midnight) There was a charcoal cooker and a picnic table there and a little sand area that the kids could play in.

These are my favorites too. Least favorite - 28, it's on a fairway and covered in trees.

Also, add bldg. 49 to the " don't go there" list. Or take ear plugs.

My "oh no" building is 29 for the same reason as 28 only add the noise from being too close to the road.
