There was a DVD player in the 1 BR Oceanfront Pool Villa I was in.

Yes, I believe that all the villas at least have DVD players. The 2BR oceanfront villa had a DVD player attached to each of the 3 large flat panel TVs. ^

We played region 2 DVDs and the only problem we found was you had to turn the subtitles on to actually have them off.
They have also built another presidential villa at the far right of the resort as you face the beach. So now you need villa 001 or 099. Personally I think 99 has the better location but the swimming pool leaks and they top it up with a hose each day. The water height will only fall 2" in 12 hours so it's no big deal.
No stereo at all to hook your ipod up to. You'll need to bring your own speakers. Just three tvs and three DVD players. There is a line in to the TV but you'll need to bring leads.

Is there a trick to playing Region 1 DVDs? I'm currently at the hotel and I can't get them to play. The engineer says it only works with DVD's made in Asia, but it doesn't seem like others had a problem with U.S. DVDs. Help! I have lots of DVDs and plenty of time. Thanks

If your DVDs are coded region 1, you may not be able to play them on DVD players from another region. However, there are hacks for many DVD players listed in this website. Good luck.

How is the sea condition? I was there in August and the water was rough at times. But, the beach was quite empty.

The sea conditons have been varied. A couple of days ago, the sea was calm enough for kayaking. But it's currently a little rough.

The plane crash in Phuket a few days ago still gave me goose bump http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=phuket&btnG=Search+News. I was there in August to take advantage of this deal (hotel and service was excellent). I feel deeply sorry for those who lost their loved ones. Let's hope that no person from this board was on that airplane.
