Next summer (yes, kill me now, but it’s what works for our family at this time) we intend to split stay, with the latter half of our trip being on the WL campus in a 2BR unit.
I am torn between BRV and CCV.
On the one hand, CCV is in the original building, with the lobby and the nooks and everything else.
On the other hand, BRV was just reno’d, and to a beautiful degree.
In either case I will be requesting a view to the east for sunrise and quiet pool views.
If you were me and both were available when you were able to book, which would you choose and why?
Assuming there isn’t a refurb happening at the time, do you need the couch/murphy bed as a sleeping surface? If so, BRV all the way.
Looking at the pictures from @LTinNC82 tril report the BRV 1 and 2 bedrooms are so beautiful! It really makes me want to suprise the family with a one bedroom for oir March trip.
Personally BRV never feels disconnected to me because of the covered walkway. It is super close to the buses and right by the quiet pool. It feels way more connected than, Poly or GF (to me).
I was only there one night in August but I had the same struggle trying to decide. In the end I chose BRV due to the recent refurb and Murphy bed. I loved it there! The covered walkway between the two buildings made it feel connected to me. It seemed quieter back in the BRV area too. Didn’t get a chance to swim in the BR pool, but it looks awesome with the cabana type areas. Close proximity to that would be great. I thought I’d want to be in the main building with CC but wouldn’t hesitate to stay at BR again.
LT’s BRV pics were amazing! I thought CCV were my favorite rooms but now it’s a tough choice.
Having walked the campus this past summer, I agree there’s really not that much difference in distance between the villas and amenities at either resort. Sounds like BRV might be the better option to avoid refurbs.
Having just been in one the other night, I wonder why they are being refurbished before some other places. They are spectacular and not in need of refurb at all. Weird.
I wonder if they just need a few “amenity” upgrades, like USB ports and more plugs? Since they are swanky, I guess they have to make sure they are the “best”?
But seriously - let’s update AKL so I can go back to making it my “go to” resort.
I have some difficulty in keeping the WL DVC straight.
My WL DVC experience is from 2010. So original.
That is one long hallway if you’re at the bitter end as we were. However, I liked that you could get from the DVC to Roaring Fork without getting wet in a downpour.
