Thanks for a comprehensive & frank report, can really relate to what you say about the Bali Amans. As of now, been twice this year. The gecko can be very annoying especially if one is jet lagged . The resident ones in the suites were somehow given new homes after I made a comment years back , ' I hope I won't have them around & keep me awake ' . On my subsequent visits, they were no more in whatever suites we were in though I heard them at the ' public ' areas e.g. Amankila pool bales.

Our Wana tent 10 in June was ok and even had new air conditioning ( think others were eventually getting them too ). Am planning a return trip with others next year as we didn't manage some activities or explore any secluded beaches. So it was rather a shock to read/see your report.
I gathered from Kevin then that improvements were in the works. Didn't
inspect the jungle spa as it seemed too ' rustic ' and open for me.
Thought then it was ' in keeping ' with the environment & quirks like the
jeeps.Good thing we didn't have kids running wild but only a quiet Japanese baby. I thought the parents were very ' brave ' to bring her.
Went on the hobie cat but was told that one other was broken and they were waiting for a replacement.
