As I learned upthread, it seems like it's important to have sunset-facing villa in order to have the ability to go wade/snorkel right outside your OWV.
I see the following as benefits of each room type. I'd appreciate some feedback that might help me make a decision.

SUPERIOR WV BENEFITS:
- Guaranteed to be on sunset side (very important)
- Closer to the main island than standard WV (important, as I expect us to make 2-3 roundtrips each day)
- Jacuzzi on the deck (not sure how important this is, as I'm not sure Maldives' weather is even jacuzzi-conducive)

STANDARD WV BENEFITS:
- Glass desk/floor (potentially important but not totally sure... this seems like an awesome feature to be able to see occasional fish, but maybe this is just gimmicky?)
- Larger than SWV (slightly important)
- View apparently less obstructed than from SWV due to more open deck (important)
