For some reason the reservation calendar isn't working for me (all dates come up as unavailable when you click through), but I could swear that the "Deluxe Hillside" and "Treetop Pool" categories are new ones.
Per Virtuoso website there are two of the Treetop Pool casitas.
They are the only casitas with private pools. The villas have private pools of course.
The treetop pool casitas are the same price as a beach casita - and I know where I'd rather stay. The private pool at the treetop pool casita isn't that enticing; it almost looks badly done. I took a photo of it and I think it's further back in this thread somewhere.
The deluxe hillside casitas are also same price as beach casitas, and are worth considering for the views (but note it's never going to be an 'elevated' place ala Amankila/Amanpuri etc).
Beach casita is definitely the way to go if within budget - if not, book a treetop or hillside and chances are you'll get upgraded to a beach.
