Reviews and Ratings
Staying at Aman was a delightful experience overall. The location by the shore was perfect for enjoying the sea, and the picturesque setting added to the charm. While some areas could be improved, the service was genuinely amazing, making me feel welcomed. Dining was a relaxing experience with great options available, and the facilities were top-notch.
I had a wonderful stay at Amanpuri! The location is perfect near the shore, allowing me to hear, feel, and smell the sea. The rooms offer stunning ocean views, making dining a delightful experience every day. The service felt personalized and top-notch with the staff going above and beyond at every interaction. However, I was a bit disappointed by the presence of plastic trash in the surrounding sea, which affected the overall experience negatively.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that feel a little dated and dark but come with convenient amenities like 2 sinks, a separated shower, large bathtub, and ample luggage space in the dressing area. The location is perfect for those who love the sea but may pose access challenges for some. The dining experience is top-notch with a la carte options available in private or poolside pavilions.
Staying at Amanpuri was a mixed experience for me. The rooms were very spacious with both king and twin bedding options and double basins in the bathroom, which was great. However, it was quite loud and very noticeable at night, which affected my sleep quality. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch from the friendliness of the staff to anticipating my needs without being intrusive. The location was superb and picturesque, making it a 5-star plus rating, but the dining experience was just fine, nothing extraordinary. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay overall.
