OKW'rs Are You Happy With Your Purchase?? UPDATED 10/4

[KandiB47]

Hi all,

We bought into OKW 2 days ago, and were wondering what the hotel was like? What kind of shampoo is there? Can you request extra towels if you take more then one shower a day and not have to go out into the halls and find a washer/dryer if we stay in a studio? Any pic's, info, or signature pictures would be appreciated.

I'm curious as to how you ended up purchasing OKW without seeing it or knowing very little about it. You don't have to answer. Just wondering

We have been looking at contracts off and on for the past 3 years, and 28 OKW points suited us the best. We intend on staying BWV or AKV anyway.

You only bought 28 points at OKW? And if you intend on staying at BWV or AKV primarily, why didn't you buy there?

OKW's MF and initial purchase price was the best we had seen in all our reserch, so we decided to go for it. And if we ever decide to stay OKW (Which I'm Sure We Will) we have our 11 month booking window.

I have been a member at OKW since the beginning of 1996, and consider it one of the best real estate moves I have ever made. I like it so much that I took the extension, and increased my total number of points at the same time.

I hope you will be as happy at OKW as I have been for the past 12 years.

We've been OKW owners for over 11 years.

The only time we ever stayed anywhere else was 3 - 4 years ago at SSR.

While we loved the resort and facilities, we were VERY disappointed by the size (or lack of size) of the Villas.

We have only stayed at OKW since--and probably will only stay there in the future!

We bought OKW in 1994 and LOVE IT. The only regret is that we didn't buy sooner and that we didn't buy more points.

The only other resort we've stayed at has been SSR. It was nice, but the only reason we stayed there is because we couldn't get in to OKW.

Like other posters have said, OKW is more of a "condo" style. Some people like more of a "hotel" style that you get with some of the other DCVs. We like the "condo" style, so we LOVE our Home at OKW.

We have been OKW members since 1994 and love it. Recently we purchased points at AKL but will probably just use them at OKW. Many happy memories and more to come. Enjoy, we have!

I would not think of OKW as a hotel. It is a condo type resort with a "traditional Keys" style. A laid back Caribbean influenced, Key West style Victorian resort may be even more descriptive. We love it!
