Aqua Beach Villa wouldn't work for your group -- they only have 6 bedrooms with occupancy of 12. I have travelled with large groups as recent as this past August (25) and August 2021 (35). We did group meals at some restaurants that we pre-arranged. You can arrange a fixed price menu. In 2021, we did non AI for a week and ended the trip with 4 night at Riu Reggae. While we all loved Riu Reggae, just about everybody said next time skip the AI.
