I read that WV snorkeling isn't that great compared to the SWV. I'm assuming there are other great snorkeling places if I pick the WV, but can someone please confirm?. Leaning towards WV to save some cash for other things.
Adding those to the wiki shortly. Thanks.
If you go for a WV, there's a 50% chance you'll get one on the sunrise side which has no coral (dead or otherwise) and so no fish to speak of around those villas. If you get one on the sunset side however, it will be totally different. I suggest you email the reservations department a couple of weeks out and request a sunset-side WV and cross your fingers that they assign you one.

Cheers. Will add that too.
