Which do you prefer and why? We are two adult couples all in our 60s, all mobile and active

For your party I'd do the lock-off because it can be a bit more private. For my group (2 couples, 3 kids, unmarried Auntie), we do the dedicated for the additional "real" bed.

So there’s absolutely no difference in living area or amenities, just the separate entrance in the lockoff?

Second bedroom (the Studio side) has two queen beds in the Dedicated. One queen bed and one pull-out sofa in the lock-off.

Second bedroom in the lock-off has a kitchenette (mini fridge and microwave).

There is an extra half-bath in the Dedicated.

Both have a pull-out queen in the living room. The dedicated has a pull-out twin chair as well. The lock-off has a fold-down smaller-than-twin murphy bed under the TV.

Definitely lockoff! Also has a separate entrance

are the ocean views better in one vs the other?

I'd say the best 2 or 3 views are Dedicated, but the rooms right next door to each of them are Lock-off.

Closest to the ocean, but "sideways" view - Rooms ending in 86 (facing Northwest) or 02 (facing Southeast)

Furthest from the ocean, but the most "direct" view - Rooms ending in 50

These rooms are all Dedicated, but the rooms right next to each of them are lock-offs, so it's not a significant difference.
