Early morning was the best time in my experience, but we saw quite many during the day also. Location-wise around the overwater villas, you could simply sit at your deck and watch the rays swim by and hop in to swim with them if you wished. There was one huge and couple smaller rays that seemed to hang around the villas and under the pathways most of the time. Other good locations for rays were certain sand bottom areas near the shore, where they seem to dig into the sand. You start to see ray-shaped markings in the sand and then you know you're getting warm.
Also around the Kitchen restaurant and Sip bar we saw rays multiple times. The caveat is, there is also a lot of sharks in there, which might or might not make you feel a bit uneasy in the water.
