Then we had the pleasure of bunking down in a lagoon suite for a few nights and voila! We were converted. And now we know why so many of the celebs who stay at this ritzy Riviera Maya retreat also opt for the lagoon over the ocean view MsRebecca 2011-12-12T14:15:01-05:00 Watching The Water Through The Floor At Kamalame Cay's Overwater Spa http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/10/26/101823/94

You know how yesterday we were saying that the Killer Views followed us everywhere at Kamalame Cay in the Bahamas? Well, we weren't kidding. Even when we were face down on a massage table, those persistent picturesque views just wouldn't quit. That's because the Overwater Spa at Kamalame has windows in the floor so you can gaze into the ocean while you're getting a treatment.

We know. Insane, right? We're a little obsessed with Overwater Bungalows and love that we don't have to travel as far as Tahiti or the Maldives to enjoy them.

Getting depressed about the impending end of summer? Yeah, us too. That's why we're feasting on this Killer View from an overwater bungalow at the Anantara Kihavah Villas, which opens in the Maldives on December 1. What better reason to look forward to winter? (And to wish for an unexpected windfall or sudden fame and fortune?)

The newest Anantara in a place with a bunch of 'em, Anantara Kihavah will bring new 78 overwater and beachfront villas to the Maldives, along with an underwater restaurant and wine cellar, and a 'jungle spa.'

Nearly every <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g188066-d269013-Reviews-Hotel_Palafitte-Neuchatel.html">guest review</a> of this place is overloaded with glowing adjectives and phrases like "One of Europe's best experiences" or "truly one of the most fantastic hotels".<p>There are rooms--they call them "pavilions"--both on the shore and over the lake, but if you're going all the way to Switzerland you've got to stay with the water lapping under you, right?

Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope.
