1) We have been at Club F when we were the only guests, and also when it was full, both at similar times of year.
2) The hospitality of the hosts is very important. The only prepared meal, usually, is breakfast. And since I hate eggs (but not things made with them) it cuts down on the possibilities for the chef to make. The open bar is certainly nice - and it's all good stuff - but we're not the type to just keep drinking simply because it's free. And, of course, not having to get dressed to do anything is great.
3) I wouldn't say hate, but it is relatively expensive.
4) I know, I know, not listed but another c/o option would be nice.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

1) Only been to Club F, but I think there was only one other couple there the (one) time we went.
2) View is very important to me, and a pool and convenient parking and road access The driveway and parking at Club F is a PITA. Event coordinator for a c/o place?? LOL.. Don't think that would be important to most anyone C/O excursions would be I guess you mean boat trips? Those can get pretty pricy, if you would be limiting it only to those in the villa.. Wouldn't be important to me.
I want Good internet! TV in the bedroom Small fridge in the bedroom High end bedding and towels Continental breakfast is fine, not cooked Would be nice to maybe have one night per week where there is a cooked meal for dinner and most people who are staying there participate Don't care about open bar so long as I have my own fridge in the room.

Are you talking your own private kitchen? I assumed that the original poster would contemplate that guests could use the villa's main kitchen, like guests can at Club F. I would want the option to use the main kitchen, as well as a shared grill, but would prefer my own fridge in the room. Putting in kitchens within each room of a villa would get expensive.
With regard to Club O reopening (hopefully!) unless the new plan involves the high rise building that was talked about a while ago, I doubt a pool would happen. I have no idea where that kind of money would come from though.

Sammy--As I recall, you are describing L'Hoste, about six months after Luis.. Those were different times.

Hopefully Club O will return, yes, but Orient Beach will never be what it was 20 years ago. There has been way too much development and condos built there, for it to ever return to the way it was. That is the way of the world.
