I've rechecked on Spirits, it's 40ml not 10ml.

Anyone else in an OWV? The shaking is crazy. I think I recommend staying in a beach villa during the rain season.

Hey Dave, how does this place (WA and Maldives) compare to Bora Bora?

Our RV is stable, no shaking during the rain and windy occurrence.

For those interested in toilet-related hygiene, I can report that the WA villas have both Japanese style toilets with the bidet function AND the Southeast Asian style "bum guns" (what some Muslims would call a "shattaf").

The bathroom amenities are eco-friendly ceramic containers of soap/lotion/shampoo, they don't have the little plastic bottles that you could swipe.

There's a hair dryer; in my villa it was contained in the desk drawer.

The wardrobe closets include an iron, ironing board, bathrobes, flip flops, life preservers, flashlights, raincoats and a tote bag.

They offer complimentary shoe shine and two items pressed per day.

If you really love a big cup of coffee or tea you might want to bring your own mug, the mugs they have in the room are small.

Oh, and beware of the bathroom sink vanities, they have a false front that makes it look like there are two drawers under the sink, but if you pull on it the whole panel just falls right off, there are no drawers there.
