For those arriving in the coming days; they start lobsters and champagne on Sundays at least during festive season. It is All you can eat on the beach with free flow champagne for 295++. Sounds like a Similar set up and price to Conrad but we didn’t get to try it bc our departure day is the first one

Nope! It’s actually in the festive season book they left in our room. None of the prices on the menus at the resort have been as high as we anticipated from the original menus posted. The infamous Burger at the Ledge (amazing) with fries was in the mid $30s++ at lunch yesterday. lobster roll is actually 65++ with fries and not the 90 or something insane price. Most cocktails are $18-$22 in alignment with Conrad prices, and the restaurants have selections of bottles of white wine in the $65-$85 range. Haven’t checked red wine though since we are more white wine drinks.

How is the snorkeling by your villa is there a drop-off nearby like at the Conrad house reef? Asking because a prior poster recommended the 700s for snorkeling.
How would you rate the 100s vs 700s?
I arrive in about one week. When do you leave? If still there we should have a FlyerTalk meet up over happy hour

It appears that they have re-named the King Reef Villa to King Ocean Villa. This will be the standard room for 2020 on point bookings for 120k. I see some availability in March 2020 for the King Ocean Villa (formerly King Reef Villa).

Are the Overwater Villas superior to the Reef Villas in every way? Costs aside, any reason not to choose the Overwater Villa? (for 2 adults with no kids)

Definitely agree the beach meals are a positive step forward, and I’m bummed we had to leave today and miss it. They will have a live band on the beach for the Lobster and Champagne too.

Hi everyone
Does anyone use a one-hour photography service for wedding photos?
