There probably is not much difference between the villas further up the hill as they all have wider views of the airport.
I think it makes a big difference which villa you have. The 2 Royal Villas, #100 and #214 (identical mirror images of each other) are the best because apart from the 2-bedrooms/bathrooms, the outdoor living area is much larger and there is a proper pool instead of the standard 'tubs' they have elsewhere.
If you want a standard Villa, then the best are Beachfront. Otherwise you end up with views of other villa roofs (this is a 147-key resort so villas are quite packed together). You certainly do not want to be on the back row.
