One sits by the beach or pool and swims in either the ocean or the pool and maybe eats at the restaurant. It all seems pretty straightforward to me, so I'm not certain why the designers felt like they had to wait to make decisions and/or finish construction.
My hunch is that they didn’t want to postpone the opening of the resort because the beach club was not 100% complete. And I think that’s perfectly fine as long as the remaining beach club work isn’t too distracting to the guests.
It is clear that construction work was not finished for the summer season, and the hotel did not want to postpone the opening.

I presume this is what we should call the power of the brand/marketing, which helps to let accept things other properties/brands may not be able to let accept.
I am waiting for the argument: "Oh, and we decided to have some villas under construction, and offer you this view over the construction work as an experience. A kind of symbol to be shared with our guests of the collapse of the Greek econony".
