I am about to buy a resale timeshare in Harborside, Phase II. The unit on the contract is "1743/42". Anyone know how to "decode" this unit number in terms of which builing and floor this would correspond to? The agent did not know and said it does not matter... Since I am buying Platinum float I agree it should not really matter, but I am still wondering... I would have expected the first digit corresponds to the building, second the floor and the last two digits the room - but that's clearly not the case here!?

Hi Lars (I hope that's your name? :D) - unless you are buying a fixed unit, the unit number is for deeding purposes only, and won't have any bearing on the unit you may get when you make a reservation.

I don't know if you've seen it (or if it will help you) but here's the Harborside Map from the Owner Resources sticky.

Yes, that's understood, but am wondering still if there is a known system how room numbers are composed on this resort... I.e. if you are assigned room 1743 when checking in, is there a way to know which building and floor this corresponds to?

I have the map at home, that indicates room numbers and views for phase 2.

Our unit number we purchased is 3772/73 which is in building number 5. Makes sense huh?

The first digit is the floor.

The second number appears to always be a '7' at Harborside (I assume that's a numbering scheme to keep the room numbers unique across all of the Atlantis buildings). Any numbering logic seems to end there.

The last two digits seem to simply cover from 00-99 across all of the buildings, but other than each building containing a single range of numbers, there's not much order to it.

I have never been able to figure out why the buildings are numbered as they are. If they had numbered buildings 5, 6, 3, and 4 as 3, 4, 5, and 6 (respectively) instead, it would have at least made a counter-clockwise circle that would make a little sense. (You may want to look at the Harborside map to make sense of that.)

The fact that Phase I consisted of buildings 1, 2, and *7* says they thought they had a plan for phase II when they started, but I'm guessing the building layout might have changed somewhere along the way?
