1. We never saw a snake, although we are walking quite a lot through the wonderful grounds and the nearby treks. Trustworthy staff tells us, that very rarely non-poisonous snakes were seen, but there was never any accident.
2. The resort is absolutely wonderful. Unless you like to be at a flat resort at a flat beach, you will love it: The grounds are completely threedimensional, with different ocean-, bay-, mountain- and rock-views from the different parts of it.
3. The architecture is great. The layout of the pavillions, the absolute privacy (you can use your personal pool nude, since no one will see you), the great architecture of the resort facilities.
4. The food is now fantastic, top of Aman. The activities are numerous, the guides are absolutely well educated and commited.
5. The best thing is the staff. So friendly, so smiling, so caring, so good. Sean Flakelar is a GM who is so hands on - with the guests, with the staff, picking the absolutely best people.
That's why in my critical eyes Amanoi is actually the best Amanresort worldwide.

Staying at Amanoi right now since a couple of days, I can tell you 5 things:
1. We never saw a snake, although we are walking quite a lot through the wonderful grounds and the nearby treks. Trustworthy staff tells us, that very rarely non-poisonous snakes were seen, but there was never any accident.
2. The resort is absolutely wonderful. Unless you like to be at a flat resort at a flat beach, you will love it: The grounds are completely threedimensional, with different ocean-, bay-, mountain- and rock-views from the different parts of it.

Weather conditions: most of the day sun + some wind (december/january there is always some wind in the costal mountains).
There are two new tours: Streetfood Tour through Phan Rang - great taste, great fun! And cycling tour along the cost and the wineyards, which was also fantastic...
Have fun!

. A good start but still requires one to expand some energy 
Yes , I know we shouldn't just " hang " when we are at N'oi but Sean knows us & they can do better
. It takes a fair bit just to get there after all !Perhaps tandem bikes ?
Mopeds ??
Have a wonderful few more hours of 2016 everyone .
Just about ready to welcome 2017 !!
Hopefully an uplifting one with lots of flying for us here on luxury forum to amazing destinations & hotels :-:

We were there only 6 months ago and I'm ready to go back. Unfortunately there are too many new places on the list to hit first!

I'll throw some more support behind Amanoi. Hubby (who is Vietnamese) and I spent our honeymoon there last October. Though it was the rainy season, we didn't get that much rain, just a couple of heavy downpours during our six-day stay. The natural setting on this long stretch of totally unspoiled coat is absolutely spectacular-- think Southern California in the 1930s. The design of the villas is great, as is their placement within the resort. Staff is excellent, very much up to Aman standards. Food is very good, and they will make anything you want even off-menu, though it maybe a tiny notch below the epicurean heights of Amanjiwo. Bottom line: we loved Amanoi and don't regret for a minute our decision to take our honeymoon there.
