Visited O&O last July, hated it! Actually had a client booked there and I ended up suggesting them to cancel and move over to St. Regis where they had a fab stay.

To give some context: O&O was just too large of a property for our taste. We love the Aman feel and service level. O&O felt like a zoo with standard operation procedures, which isn't bad but just isn't us. We prefer to feel like we're actually on a private/remote island with warm service.
There are so many people at O&O and it felt like college spring break in Cancun at parts of its beaches.

We escaped to St. Regis later and found it much better and our butler was very pro-active and intuitively catered to us.

Food at O&O was also terrible.
