If offered an overwater villa instead of a BPV, can anyone offer feedback over whether it's worth it compared to a standard room? Both me and the misses really value privacy.
when I went last month they were quite full and app doesn’t show beach pool villa availability but we were still upgraded as globalists. We would have been fine without the upgrade though so if it’s a must then would recommend emailing them to see if you can have a paid guaranteed upgrade.
the overwater villas do get really hot, longer walk to food, and if people are snorkeling they can see in. I enjoy the outdoor shower and for our second visit chose the beach pool villas.
