With the regular walkway still being closed which side of the property do you suggest would be best? West to still be close to the boats but still being covered and worked on or East to be closer to the other walkway which seems mostly done?

That is hard to say which wing to stay in. The Villa rooms would be my first choice which would put you close to the best pools and the water taxi.
