lena--I truly GET what you're saying, about wanting ocean view, but is it not possible to book a specific ocean view room in the regular resort--that is, Simpson Bay Resort, vs Simpson Bay Villas? I know there are a couple of buildings that are ocean view in the regular resort, and there is an actual beach there, as compared to at the villas. I have also heard that the pool at the villas is very cold, because the building shades it from the sun.

Anyway, enjoy!
