The two resorts were Amanjena and Amanpuri. I have also been to Amangani (jeez, I actually forgot about that one). While the stay at Amangani was not great, I would return there to try it again. Amanjena and Amanpuri: never, never again.

Well, we are mostly vegetarian and the menu had maybe one veggie option on it (pea and asparagus risotto, I believe). I tried that and liked it, but after that, what was on offer was a lot of steak, bison, venison and the like (which is I guess appropriate for the area and for American tastes, but not so great for us). They were fine with creating a bunch of stir fried vegetable dishes for us, which was great. They also had a couple of fish dishes on the menu, but we don't really go there, so didn't try them. FYI, the menu did not change at all during the five nights that we were there. My assumption is that they only change it monthly or when the run out of / get new ingredients. Again, I would not let the small menu put you off, as the chefs were very good.

I was told they were putting two adults and two children in each room.
