Apparently they are doing a minor refresh.
On reflection you are paying Maldives prices but it is much easier to get to and a very different cultural experience.
We may try the Amanoi but probably only for 3 nights. The other advantage of the FS is it's not as isolated as the Amanoi meaning you have off site options.
When we return we will book via Virtuoso.

i would imagine no problem with bookings made prior to change
after change, if of interest, worth confirming with a manager
hmm, GHM and FS started including 2nd row in beachfront category

I don't really think of ICH as a luxury brand, but...
Caveat - Haven't been to Nam Hai in a couple of years. At the time, service and food were very good but not outstanding. That might have changed since FS took over.
- Food is better
- Service is better
- Villas are nicer
- Overall appearance of the resort is much nicer
- The beach/ocean is incomparably better

While I do love a good Four Seasons, I really think that GHM has done a remarkable job with The Nam Hai. And I am usually a bit critical of GHM. Standards were high and it was really hard to find a better deal in Vietnam.
And that exactly might have been the problem, as it sometimes was a too good of deal -- new owner brought in FS for a reason. Rates have gone up and will go up... and clientele has changed drastically.
