snorkeling off villa is good - tho the wind is a bit strong in our area odd numbered 700 OW villas. No afternoon tea but happy hour very nice and features live music. Peacock Alley is more comfortable then CRI happy hour bit view not as nice. Happy hour service very attentive but again... occupancy is low and we saw only three other couples during entire happy hour. Gym here beats Conrad and fitness instructor very proactive in taking care of guests and even offered free stretching after my cardio. I was impressed. I enjoyed the happy hour bites more here vs. CRI. IMHO the main drawback is distance - I love that Conrad has quick and easy access to most venues but here it is treck to gym, pool,, etc. Conrad I can walk barefoot anywhere. Bicycle here can be a bit taxing - especially after a workout and a passing buggie kicks up sand on you. That being said - the day spent today at our villa with pool, swings, tons of personal and private space on deck is quite wonderful - it has certainly made us happy with our choice.
