Same! They have the best pictures of rooms at each resort and they always add the pillow! I use their tours to determine where to stay.

Thanks for posting this! We were discussing staying in a 2 bedroom with family and wanted to see the bed situation, now we were able to!

Just what I was waiting for!

Question about the 2 bedrooms…
Is there any way six adults could sleep without having someone be in the main space/ living room?
Will there be Murphy beds in new rooms?
Also will all be renovated by Labor Day?

It all depends on the group and sharing of sleeping surfaces. In the 2 bedrooms there are 2 queen beds in the 2nd bedroom and 1 king bed in the master.

If it were a 2BR lock-off then the 2nd bedroom would have one regular queen and one fold down murphy bed. I haven't seen whether that would be a double or a queen. It previously had a double sofa bed.

The living area of both a 1BR and a 2BR has the queen murphy bed and single murphy bed that is a replacement for the chair bed.

Yes, sorry! We would be two families, three people each. Sorry I forgot to mention that!
Trying to leave the living room space open so a late sleeper wouldn’t still be in that space. Also, it seems like a small dining table? We’d plan to have meals together…
Looking at other resorts as well but we love BLT!

There are USB/USB-c on both sides of the bed in the studio.

There is a USB plug on the countertop under the TV

Having both usb-a and usb-c would be tremendous! I'd appreciate that flexibility so I can plug in with whichever is in my hand!

I've noticed in some room tours that there are 1BR/2BR units with larger, walk-in laundry rooms. How does one find those? I wonder why that variation even exists.

Because BLT is C-shaped, villas are wedge-shaped, and location on inside or outside of the curve makes a difference. I think the villas on inside curve have the larger laundry rooms (because the laundry room is along the hallway), but I could quite easily have it reversed in my head!

Yes last time we were in 7627 and it is right in the middle. That one had the full laundry room. The disadvantage is that it doesn't have the 2 stools at the island.

No, I think you have it right! That makes sense.

Right, so one is basically choosing between a larger living/dining room or a larger laundry room. Interesting. Thanks!

Yes, the two times we have stayed at BLT, we had the inside curve overlooking the pool. Both times we had the larger walk in laundry room.

I think they've only done higher floors so far. We had booked a standard view studio and apparently there aren't any refurbished ones available yet. Once this next lot is done though there will be, as others have pointed out that they're currently working on ground floor to level 5 on the Contemporary side of the building.

Honestly, other than the lack of USB charging points (which was really only an issue for us as Aussies travelling with only one US adapter), we didn't really have a problem with the non-refurbished room.

Anyone know the timeframe for them to do the first set of reno's (on the higher floors)? If they are currently working on ground foor to level 5, I'm trying to get a sense of whether we will get a refurbished standard/resort view 2-BR for our trip Mid May.
