I'm planning a stay at Mandapa and I'm still unsure about the villa category to pick. I want total privacy (i.e. no one can see the private pool/terrace) and the best possible view. This leaves me torn between the rainforest pool villa and the rice terrace pool villa. The former seems better for the privacy and the latter seems better for the view. I'm not considering the riverfront villa as I read it doesn't get much sun and people kayak across the river during the day.

Has anyone stayed in a villa facing the rice terrace? How's the privacy there? Any villa number recommendation?

Thanks a lot.
