Cannot check W or St.Regis because points redemptions are not available online as far as I know. For Sheraton I am not sure where you see this. There is a boat transfer charged on top of 20k pts but no service charge!?

St. Regis says the change is due to tax regulation, and they have to show taxes and service charges separately. I've reached out to determine if points cover the SC now or not, as it was definitely included before. For Sheraton in November here's what I see:
Base room rate excludes
I'll let you know what their response is to whether or not it is covered by points.
Base room rate excludes
- BOAT TRANSFER of USD 136 Per Person / Per Stay
- SERVICE CHARGE of USD 34 Per Room / Per Night
I'll let you know what their response is to whether or not it is covered by points.

So, in summary there's no change.

So seems like the leaked T&C were right and the StR is bookable on points but the W is not. Additionally only garden villa is bookable on points and there are just 4 of those in the resort.
I'd recommend booking those with cash as guest right now and then adding SPG number & converting booking to points once systems are live. Better act fast as I can see the availability quickly vanishing for any 5-nights period.

How do you know only one garden villa will be available on points?

EDIT: My bad, I misread your post - I thought you said only ONE villa was bookable on points
