I’d bag the OWV and just stick with the Reef Villas. They cost less and are closer to everything. But still very private. Once you are behind the gate of your room you will not be able to tell if your room is OW or or attached to land.

Mostly true however the OWVs and Ocean villas include a glass floor in the closet area that allows you to look at the fish swimming under your Villa. Small thing not in the reef villas that we enjoyed
