Reef-friendly sunscreen is provided, along with after sun. From memory it was a choice between something like SPF 15 and 50, or something along those lines.

Install Alexa app on phone
Install VPN on phone
Connect phone to Conrad WiFi
Enable hotspot on phone (hopefully your phone/tablet has that feature)
Use Alexa app to connect DOT to you phone hotspot/WiFi
Think I have covered all the steps. If anyone sees an error please correct me. If there is an easier way please add .02.

There is likely an ethernet port in the room. A travel router with VPN loaded, or DNS proxy service, should work.

I am pretty sure this will not work. Most phones will only "rebroadcast" the mobile network via the hotspot feature, although there are some apps that enable the sharing of a wifi connection.

I think you could be correct about my “process” not working with a DOT. We were streaming our Alexa/Amazon music from directly from the Alexa App on my phone that was VPN enabled. I was presuming the DOT, being connected to the phone hotspot (VPN enabled) would work. But you could be correct, that the DOT would just use the native WiFi on the phone, ignoring the VPN...will have to do some Googling on that....

Do the rooms have stereo systems or anything that would play music from an iPhone or other smartphone?

I travel with a Bose Soundlink Micro which I can heartily recommend if music is a must.

quick questions:
- We have two upgrade quotes to both OWV and Pool OWV for August. The difference in price is 53000XPF per night. I realise this is entirely subjective, but Is it worth paying the 500USD per night to go from regular OWV to Pool OWV?
- Would I be correct in assuming that the pool in the king pool overwater villa is not heated?
- Which number room(s) would you recommend for quiet, sunset views from OWV / Pool OWV deck?

2) You are correct.
