I booked a regular 2 BR. I figured we would rather have 2 queen beds instead of a pull down, and we don't ahve a use for a second entrance or extra kitchenette that I can think of. We have 6 people in our immediate family and are taking 3 grandparents, so even if something happened and grandparents don't go we still would need a 2BR. Given that I can't see any reason we would need to drip to a 1 BR or studio.
Are there any reasons other than possibly dropping one of the rooms that you would recommend a lockoff? I could always change.
The only other reason is: 2BR lockoff at riviera actually gives you bed space for 10 people, not 9, and 5 sinks instead of 4 sinks because of the kitchenette. Even if all 9 end up going, you have a little more flexibility on where you put people, which may be useful if it turns out some people wake up earlier than others, etc. Also keep in mind that at riviera all of the pull down beds are REAL beds that feel amazing, and the setup with the pull down queen is actually more handy - there are outlets and cubbies and reading lights right next to the bed.
5 sinks instead of 4 might also be handier at bedtime and in the morning, for brushing teeth, etc.
When we first booked our (canceled) August trip for 8 people, we booked a LO for the sinks. Then downsized because the other family couldn't join, then canceled. But in the future if taking 8 or more people, I think I'd opt for more sinks and handy pull down beds. (I have fallen asleep on them.)
