The day before the online booking went live the website had April 30th as the opening day. A few weeks before that it had the end of May as the opening. So the opening had been moved up. The day it went live, July 1st became the opening day. So my guess, and only a guess, is there will be some sort of soft opening starting in May.

From all I have pieced together it looks like the Reef Villa is on land with the outside decking over water. The Overwater Villa is completely out in the water. The Beach Villa is obviously completly on land. But the rooms, “Standard” and Grand, looked to be almost the same.

PS...the differences between “standard” and grand look to be the added living room in the grand.
