Over-water villas, honestly
Quick answer
The over-water villa is the photograph the marketing wants. It is the right room about half the time. A first-floor over-water in the dry season runs hot. Under-deck snorkelling that brochures promise sits over coral in fewer than 40% of resorts. Repeat guests on trip-report forums tilt toward beach-pool villas after a second stay.
