Thanks! Just wanted to know why Grand Solmar has a 1bd with LK and what it stands for?

Oakies is correct. But when I see it, I typically think of "little kitchen".

Typically a small fridge, coffee maker, microwave maybe a toaster or toaster oven, probably not a dishwasher.

But the definition of LK varies. Some may have a 2 burner stove. Some not. When you are in the process of booking, there will be a page that shows more detail.

When I see a 1 bedroom LK I think glorified studio. Some developers put a door between the bed and sitting area of a studio, then call it a 1 bedroom sleeps 4 with 4 privately. Those units can be listed and traded as 1 bedroom units but they're little more than a glorified studio with a strategicaly placed door.

There are, of course, exceptions. Many Hawaiian 1 bedroom timeshares have LK's but are still full size 1 bedroom units.

When I see a unit has a limited kitchen, I equate that with either a studio unit or, in some cases, a 1 bedroom unit that's not much more than a studio unit with a door. I typically avoid those units when exchanging unless it's a unique situation, as is the case with many Hawaiian 1 bedroom timeshares.


It is really best to read the actual description. Many TS in the Caribbean do not have an oven but a cooktop only and everything else in the one and two bedroom units. Most Mexican resorts do not have an oven but are also complete.

When I see it, I typically call the resort...or check on their web page for a better description.

We stay at InnSeaons South Mountain a lot in New Hampshire. Those are all LKs.....but I haven't figured out why yet. Large kitchen area, full size appliances, etc. Really the only thing it is missing is a dining room table. But, the counter has 4 chairs and plenty of room to eat.
