Where is a newer map of OKW

[wisbucky]

I have searched despartely for newer map with the layout of OKW. The only map I can locate is obviously old since it does not show villas 57 and up. Does anyone know a website that may have a new map available on it.

this map could be what you are looking for.

There is no 57 to 61. 56 is in South Point, then 62 is near the HH along with 63 & 64. 62, 63 & 64 were built years after the rest at the site of the old sales center, so the numbering isn't consecutive (they are next to 15 & 16).

Thanks a million Dianeschlicht: But where or why are villas 57-60????????????? Am I missing something

 

[wisbucky]

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Thanks for clearing that up about villas 57-61. Sort of an odd way to number.

I have always wondered about that too, Wisbucky, but I wonder if maybe they didn't originally plan on more villas that didn't get built. BTW, the link that Debbie gave is the same one I linked and printed out.

I guess when they built the 3 new buildings (62, 63, 64), they could not renumber the entire resort because member contracts had the current numbers. They didn't want to use 57 because you might be looking for it down near 55 & 56.

 

[dianeschlicht]

I wondered if maybe there was some plan originally to maybe have buildings across the canal and more off to the side of HH.

 

[wisbucky]

Dianeschlicht I wondered that too about building more off to the side of HH. Certainly would make sense. You never know they may build the ultimate grand villa. lol But maybe they would build a small version of water park there. They need to update thier pool.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Well, that is supposed to be coming with the decision to build a feature slide at the pool. No word yet if it will be a retrofit of the existing pool or a new area.

 

[wisbucky]

I have to honestly say I dont know about the pool ordeal. If they were reburishing the pool area entirely I might say I could be excited. But I have feeling this slide will not be what everyone thinks it will be. The pool lacks attractiveness, and active fun.

Any thoughts......

 

[dianeschlicht]

It all depends on your individual perspective. Those with young children really like the main pool here, because there is a great sand play are and wading pool. This is combined with a nice sauna and hot tub area. I personally think the whole main pool area is a bit small for the size of the resort. I prefer the smaller quiet pools, but then, I am not a big pool person and really only go to the pool for the hot tub. The only sauna is the one in the light house at the main pool.

 

[wisbucky]

I basically only go for the hot tub as well but I do think it needs a slight overhaul to improve the looks. Getting of the subject a bit, Diane, do you know where a person can purchase those meal vouchers. And do you know if they are worth it.

 

[dianeschlicht]

No, I don't know about the meal vouchers.

I thought I heard one time that this area is classified as wetlands, so construction would not be permitted.

 

[dianeschlicht]

I would imagine most of the area could have been a wetlands, because before OKW was built, that area looked like a swamp.

So now we have found there is no Bldg 57-61, but where are Bldg 1-10???
