I was trying to book rooms with Thalasso for July 2015, and I saw the price is weird.

Emerald - 110,902
DIAMOND OTEMANU END OF PONTOON VIEW STE - 117,961
Sapphire - 120,621
Diamond - 128,575
Diamond Otemanu - 143,381

Based on the name, I though the room "DIAMOND OTEMANU END OF PONTOON VIEW STE" should be more expensive than Diamond Otemanu, but it's even cheaper than Sapphire. Though it didn't say overwater in the name, but in it's description, it does say it's overwater villa.

And only this room does not have photo, while all other have. And I cannot find this room type in other OTA website.

So do you guys know this room? Why this room is cheaper? Is there any downside?

Thanks!

As the name of this room type indicates, it locates at the end of pontoon and therefore there are four of them in IC Thalasso.

Personally I prefer Diamond Otemanu more than Diamond end of pontoon (EOP) because from EOP you can't see Mt. Otemanu from your villa's bedroom, and water is much deeper than where at Diamond Otemanu. However, I do know some people prefer EOP because it offers more privacy.
