The Sunset Water Villas offer a Jacuzzi on the terrace and include a Bose surround sound DVD theater system and two large flat –screen TVs.  They are called the Sunset Villas because they have a divine remote-control circular bed which rotates 180-degree so one can watch the setting sun through floor-to-ceiling windows.
