A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
The original reason for the question was because II wouldn't let you specify that you only wanted a X bedroom resort when requesting with a smaller unit. So you wanted to make sure you didn't request resorts that may result in you matching a smaller unit that you didn't want. That is no longer the case, but I guess it is still good to know.

I've found it handy, to know which resorts only have the large units, so I can be selective about a resort that I put in the request, where I would accept a smaller unit than my deposited one. For example where I'd accept a smaller unit when trading low season for high season, but would only put resorts with equal size units for mid or low season dates.

Yeah, this thread was started before the size upgrade fees and inability to put in requests for larger units. Thus if someone wanted to guarantee a larger unit, they could place a request at a resort that only has those larger units. The updated list expands on that some more to show all resorts with larger units (3BR)

I like 2BR that do not lockoff as I don't want to waste that space for mini kitchens, etc. Dedicated 2BR like at Kauai Lagoons are nicer for us. Ymmv.

I tend to agree. I prefer the dedicated 2BR units over lockoffs when possible. The ones I really don't understand are places like Fairway Villas. Its a dedicated 2BR, yet the 2nd bedroom is still 1 bed and a sleeper sofa. I would much prefer if it was two beds like OceanWatch at MB since it doesn't lock off anyway I just don't understand why they chose a sleeper sofa in the bedroom instead of a 2nd bed. Same at Newport Coast as well.
