I've spent a few days browsing this thread and other reviews online and still have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can help with.
  • How deep is the water right outside the villas? Is it the same on both the ocean and lagoon views?
  • Has anyone travelled end of August or beginning of September and can comment on the wind\ocean roughness for the two different sides?
Ideally I'd like to be able to walk\stand in the water outside of the Villa so I'm looking for which side would be calmer during this time of year. View is also important, I've read Lagoon(Sunset) has more boat traffic but it's far enough out not to be a disturbance so didn't seem too concerning.

Thanks for the help!

How was the view from 317? I've read mixed things about being obstructed by islands\construction and boat traffic, then others saying it's pretty far out and not really bothersome. Is 317 in a spot where it has some island and ocean, or all island? Did you find the boat traffic to take away from your enjoyment of the villa before you moved?

Thanks!
It about 60% water and 40% island. I have a picture if you want to see. The day we were in the room it was raining so did go out and observe the speedboats.
