Quite a difference from the villas. Are these the old units?

Most all have been remodeled and look good.

I am indebted to all of you who have been so generous with your advice and suggestions. Today we were offered the possibility of a friends unit at RI. Need to work out the details and promise to post the final plan. Thanks soooo much!

The Villas are all full ocean view, and that is important to me, personally. Many of the other units at Simpson Bay Resort have a view of nothing. PROVIDED the unit you are looking at, at Simpson Bay Resort has a view, the units themselves have all been redone recently, so units at the resort are good.

Thanks for the additional info, Carol. The photos of the villas look quite nice.

Vivian,
You will enjoy the RICLP but I hope you are on the Sonesta wing side.
Btw, Did you ever see my PM here? The flashing envelope by your log in name?
The kiddy pool will be great for the little one and they do have daily activities of one sort or another and as far as I know, if you are on the third floor or higher you will have a nice view. The restaurant is pretty good and the big pool is lovely.
Respectfully,
pat

Just to add a bit of clarification on the view from Simpson Bay Resort. Most of the units, if not ALL of the units that have a view of nothing are studios and would not be appropriate for this request anyway.
The Marina Building has a full view of Simpson Bay as does the Flamboyant Bldg. which is on the beach The lower and upper B buildings have an SB view as well which is obviously better the higher the unit is. Some of the lower Bougainvillea units (upper B) have a nice pool view. If you are not inclined to walk up a hill then the upper B should probably not be your first choice. We "own" a 5th floor unit in that building and it is fantastic....and I am 70+ (just a little+)
The only building that I can say has a view of nothing is the Allamanda building which has some units that face a small pool but also has others in that building that face the tennis court and have a nice SB/sunset view.
Soooo....almost all studios have zip for a view but there are MANY one and two BR units that have a great view
That said the Villas are great but I wouldn't want a 1st floor unit because you are right on the same level as the path by the pool...and there is very little privacy with everyone walking by your open door. That doesn't bother some people but it would not make me comfortable. The upper units are fantastic....
I'm glad the OP found a unit at RI....have fun

This is great detail- thank you so much. I will refer to it again, I know, even if we don’t stay there this trip. If the Towers continues to stay closed I would definitely like to stay at SBR. Appreciate your taking the time....
