[Q=lindas523] When you use your points, does that mean you can't rent out your unit? Also, is 2 bedroom listing -one unit or two - 1 bedroom units? Linda[/Q] You can use your points to reserve a unit and then rent it out, but you can't eat your cake and have it too. (Not talking about RCI points. Can't rent them out.) Generally, a 2 Bedroom Deluxe is like a normal 2 bedroom apartment with one living room, one kitchen, etc. (may or may not have 2 bathrooms.) It generally sleeps 6 if you utilize the sleeper sofa in the living room. Most 2 Bedroom Lock-Offs are like two 1 Bedroom apartments (sleep 4 each) with a connecting door. Each part has an outside entry, so they may also be reserved separately. One section is usually larger than the other and may have added features such as a balcony. (The 1 Bedroom Deluxe) If you have no more than 6 in the combined lock-off, you can make up the smaller living room as a permanent bedroom instead of folding up the sleeper sofa every morning. This gives you the equivalent of a 3 bedroom unit. Ask what size/style beds are in each bedroom. In some cases, the "small half" of a lock-off is a Studio which may only sleep 2 and have a mini kitchen. In a very few cases, the small side is more like a large hotel room with sitting area but no cooking facilities. (Mexico's Mayan Palace arrangement) Open the connecting door and you have a 2 bedroom/2 bath unit. Again, it is good to ask. As you can see from the above variations, it is sometimes best to talk to the reservations people who know their resorts. You can't get all these details from on-line reservation lists. On the other hand, if only 2 people are traveling, almost anything will work. MD
