any info on which unit is better, any resort layout info?
 
Moose and Otter buildings are all 2 bedroom units. The lodge has all the studios (quite large ones in fact!). Corner units ground floor (Huron) have an outdoor hot tub on the deck.
 
Thanks @cd5. I added the map to our resort sticky. If you have additional information that you would like to add, please send it to me.


Also, do you have information on Embarc/HGVC Whistler? I have an upcoming winter stay in a 2BR Perm LO.
 
I'll see what I can find. Our website has been subpar since Diamond took over in 2016 - instead of refreshing all the info/maps/floor plans etc they removed them without ever replacing them.
We have members who very kindly take photos when they go and add to our FB albums by unit number. I'll see what I can find for you.Personally I've only ever stayed in a 1 bedroom so no help there.
 
Whistler floor plan for 2 bedroom lockoffs. Note that Whistler is quite compact - all in same 2 buildings on multiple floors. With a 2 bedroom you'll be able to get 2 parking spots in the garage under the building. There are 2 pools (family and adult) which are open even in winter as well as 2 outdoor hot tubs. The pool decks are heated in cold weather. The Club is next to the Four Seasons and the Fairmont in the Upper Village. All the renovations should be completed shortly.

Then it will be in the Moose or Otter buildings to the right of the resort map. First floor allows you to go down a few steps from the terrace directly onto the grounds, by a door in the kitchen/dining area. I personally prefer to be downstairs.

Any advantage of corner room vs regular room, other than the hot tub you mentioned above. I don't see many corner rooms available, make me think they are the better option.
 
As far as our own points go, the corner rooms with the hot tub are more, not sure how much in DEX. They are basically the same however except for the hot tub.
