i don't think you would be disappointed with this property....while its not in the same league as the w or the conrad, its still a great property....

i wouldn't count on a water villa upgrade....i couldn't tell from your profile whether you are spg plat or not, but their water villas are not part of their upgrade pool....you can request one when you get there but there is no gaurantee....
you can see male in the distance but i have never heard anyone complain about the noise....we had a great 3 night stay here last year & there was no noise at all....

again, don't count on an upgrade to a water villa at the conrad....their beach villas are very nice though & this is an absolutely fantastic property....my wife & i paid extra to get the overwater villa & we really enjoyed ourselves....as a diamond you will get free breakfast here....
also keep in mind that if you want to go to the conrad then you will have to pay over $400 for a roundtrip between male & rangali....
