Upgrade to the Muraka. i think that's the only villa that will triumph StR
Decor-wise, StR villa is more contemporary, sleek, refined. Conrad villa is more warm, tropical, cozy.
Perhaps something like visiting the Versaille vs your grandmother's house (assuming your grandma is not QE...)?
Haha, not sure if the analogy is apt. But it's good to come with the appropriate expectations.
