Water Pool Villa, The Residence, Maldives

This room is in a colonial deco., classic in simplicity too, and probably just as its name "The Residence".  The bed room, living room and the bath room are all in a panoramic sea view.  However, there isn't any partition on the right side; so you can watch or be watched among each other's room.  The living room doesn't have an air-conditioner, which is fine with me.  However, if the room is on the sunset side, it can be very hot at 3-5pm.  The strange thing is that there is no curtain in the living room.  So you can't run away from the sun, except to the bed room.  Supposed there should have been one more TV set in the living room.
As for the bed room, the bed is very comfy but I don't prefer a heavy quilt and so the air-conditioner has to be turned to a very low temperature.  What's more, the air-conditioner is right on the bed top, which is not good for sleeping with the wind blowing onto your head.
The bathtub placed right in the window front to the sea, but somehow the partition on the deck outside blocking part of the view.  
The sun deck is very simple and the pool too.  The awkward part is the ladder down to the sea - too narrow and straight down.  Supposed there should be some step stairs, instead of a ladder.

This is good enough for me with all the good view facing the sky and water.
How much is this room here?

It's about US$1,100 for a water villa and $1,200 for a water pool villa. However, we bought some bargain package from HK. At average, it's about US$600 with half board.
