I spoke to reservation agent about the week we have reserved. we will be in Naia in non-lock off 2 BR unit [i thought i had reserved lock off but ok guess i checked 'full villa']. I asked if the 2nd BR had twin beds as i had been in one before with these. Agent said if using points, then person would be put into 2 BR part of a 3 BR unit off but when using weeks would get non lock off. 2 BR lock off of 3 BR has twins in 2nd BR, non lock off has king

But the 3BR units have the best placement in terms of location on each floor, so which is better really depends on your requirements.

point i was making was that week owners and point owners are apparently treated differently when reserving "same' units

Yes, of course, because a weeks owner gets put in the exact type of unit they own. In this case, a 2BR. A 3BR owner would get the 2BR part of a 3BR if they locked off. Another example is a 3BR in Grand Chateau, where the 1BR part and the 2BR part are different than the dedicated 1BR and 2BR lock-off units. As a 3BR owner, if I lock off and reserve I will get half of a 3BR unit, but never a dedicated 1BR or 2BR.
