Thanks everyone.
Couple of more things:
1) If I put the RWV on the field, would you change your minds?
2) To guarantee a sunset view on it would have to be either the SWV or the DWV, they would not guarantee sunset view in neither WV or RWV, correct?

You can request sunset side in a King WV, it's not guaranteed but they do try to accommodate when they can. For the RWV, I loved ours - we stayed in 421.

Yes, and don't forget the diesel generator. And avoid 120 if you can - it's got numerous faults that make it more like 3.5-4 star than 5.
Agree.
The price difference is considerable. I suppose it would come down to price and whether you think it's worth it. Have you checked out the room types here: http://www.360tourist.net/view-tour/4250

Maybe 120 has a ghost

My bad Pineapple...it is weird that everyone on the board refers to them as Retreat Water Villas. When I was on the island, everyone referred to them as the Spa Water Villa's (while leaving out the retreat part). I knew there was something not quite right when everyone started coming out against them lol.
My bad! I would do the RWV)

They've only recently been renamed from Spa to Retreat (like in the last year or two) - so both names are still used by everyone

Solo traveler advice
I can't wait, only five weeks to go now! Unfortunately I will now be spending five nights by myself there, and wanted to get people's feedback as to how best make the most of it (aside from lots of diving which I plan on doing). Do guests generally keep themselves to themselves? It would suck to spend five nights without any conversation lol And dining in Ithaa by oneself? Any and all thoughts welcome

I forgot, when I was there last year there was a welcome cocktail party on Wednesday nights. Good place to meet people too.
I think I get there Jan 26, so I'll miss ukinny2000
