It can depend on your traveling party but I prefer the dedicated 2 BR's so that you get an additional real bed.
Perfect explanation, thank you!Highly prefer the dedicated. You do not have the kitchenette in the second bedroom but you get extra closet space in its stead. Having two real beds in that room beats having the pullout couch. And the best difference is the balcony. With the lock-off there is a wall on the balcony between the studio and 1BR, which both separates the group and reduces the view of the savanna. The dedicated’s open, long balcony running the entire way across the rooms puts everyone together on the balcony and gives the better panoramic views.
The only other thing is a lock off will have it's own HVAC control, if you have some that like it cooler/warmer than the other party.
My first 2 bedroom stay was in a RIV dedicated 2 bedroom. The second bedroom there has it's own thermostat, which was good for my cousin's family.
It was a little harder to coordinate between the master bedroom and my mom out on the Murphy bed in the living room. Luckily we found a compromise with some extra blankets for Mom.
That's interesting. So you are saying that the 2nd bedroom in the dedicated 2 BR's at the Riviera have their own thermostat?
Does anyone know if other dedicated 2 BR's also have separate HVAC controls?
