You can see the room descriptions on the website to get a better sense, too.

No matter where you stay, it's a steal on points. It's a truly world class resort. You'll have a fabulous time.
I’m not sure that’s right. The Reefside Villa facing away from the lagoon has a large private pool (larger than what you’d traditionally call a plunge pool). . As I’ve previously reported, it is a large, generously sized villa, but for American visitors in particular you have to leave your room for your $1,500 a night villa to be in any way preferable to a $200 a night AirBnB in Florida. I’ve not seen a Lagoon View Villa, but from what I understand from a recent vlogger they look like they have an incredible view and nice access to a proper beach.
