We enjoy the pool overlooking the beach however you can lack privacy (ie guests can see past your pool, into your open bathroom and into the back outdoor shower) IF they happen to walk by on the beach. Now for your neighbours, yes they can see you and vice versa. The fence could be another feet higher on one side, and the other side could have been extended further towards the beach by a metre or so.

Sorry... You can see into your shower from the beach?

Wow that would be a dealbreaker for me if guests can see into your bathroom and shower ...

Thanks for posting. I notice that breakfast isn’t listed on that handout. Is breakfast included?

You weren't kidding about the island being long! The StR was much more compact and walkable by comparison.

Anybody know which pods the nespresso machine uses in room? Is it the flat disc pods or the regular normal pods? Tia.

Do like the 50% off selected drinks from 10-11:30 p.m. Noting how quiet the Rangali Bar at CM can be late night, would be nice for them to do the same. Wouldn't hurt.

Yeah complete privacy is what they haven't not gone for in both BV and RV and I haven't looked at OWV yet but my guess is that they have similar pattern there as well

Here is a photo from the beach looking into our villa where you can see both bathroom and bedroom very clearly (samsung s8 2x zoom but much clearer to the eye). You get the same idea during the day but we spent 2 hours by our pool and noone at our beach, we snorkled and visibility very poor due to currents etc.

If I can’t sunbathe nude at my “private” pool it kinda defeats the point.
