    I could not watch the entire thing but I learned that She is the old seafood place and it is where you see the stripper poles in the pic above. ;)

    They are 'beach chairs' means those type of chairs are only on the beach? Or the type of chairs we are used to are also around the pool?

    Is there a link to the video? Since it was a live video, just wondering if it was recorded and posted anywhere?

    I watched the video as well, and as said above a few things have been confirmed. The regular type lounger chairs are for the beach, and the crazy chairs are around the sexy pool.

    Bellavistia (seafood) has now become "She" the couples only aphrodisiac restaurant. That actually surprises me that it isn't a restaurant in the new building, but that doesn't matter. I just wonder about the stripper poles. Like will there be dancers when you are having a romantic dinner, or is Elyse supposed to dance, or am I supposed to dance? Ohh no! That might be some incentive to go. I actually went to a couples romantic restaurant on my honeymoon and RM, it was dark lighting, french food and small portions over lots of courses. We didn't like it at all, and I was hoping this wasn't going to be the same. Seems like it might be more fun.

    Other than that, not much to gain from the video. I was correct in my other assumption; "Sea Flirt" (breakfast and dinner seafood) is the restaurant closest to the water (essentially where Village Wok was), and has that top decking area.

    Mario kind of stopped them from showing inside some of the other areas, and you could tell there was lots of work going on. He said they are on time, working 24/7, and there have been over 1500 workers.

    The new staff being shown was mostly entertainment aka "play makers", and there appears to be an activity center area near the pool they are based out of. They all seem excited, nice, on the younger side, and representing lots of countries and languages.

    And even though it has been stated before, the sexy pool seems huge. Pretty decent walk from one end to the other. (I couldn't detect where the bathrooms are, haha)

    Just a curiosity question... when most people aren't happy with the $300 a night new rates, why would you begrudge people paying the reported $2,000 a night for a room their own private rooftop pool? Yeah the party might not be there for most people but those paying $2,000 a night really might not be interested in "hanging" with the masses. :)

    Also the chairs in the pool, has anyone noticed that there is no space in between them, so the only way to get into them will be climbing straight in from the pool. Yeah people may pull some out of line to make room but not sure where you would put them instead. They seem to line all the raised area from one end to the other. Also they seem from ground level to block the view of the pool water area from the chairs one the decks behind them. Will be interesting to how that all works in actual practice. You soft openers get to set the pace. :)

    Just a couple of thoughts.....
