The Ocean Villas were on an 'arm' jutting out from one end of the island. Ocean Villa residents could walk the length of the jetty and then to the restaurant (20 minute walk apparently), or the resort provided bicycles for use (I believe). A little golf cart was utilised by the staff for arriving and departing guests only.
Beach Bungalow residents were not permitted onto the Villa jetty - a security officer and a locked gate made sure of that! I'm sure in summer it would be just beautiful to swim off from your own steps to the sea... but in the wild weather we had, they were quite exposed and I reckon their villas would have rattled!!
We heard one story where the parents had booked an Ocean Villa and put the teenage kids in a Garden Villa - not realising that the kids were not permitted to visit the parents at all! You could pay US$30 for a half hour visit though, to an untenanted room, presumably so you pined for their opulence and booked those rooms on your next visit!
