We want a good ocean view, Since we are staying in ubud the first four we want to be able to see ocean etc...
We also feel like we are stuck because while everyone says amankila is the best place we want to be able to go out and do things, eat at good restaurants but not have to sacrafice the experience. So that is why we were leaning towards amanusa...
We also would like to know which villa everyone prefers (number) for privacy and View...
PICTURES TOO PLEASE IF YOU HAVE!
We realize you cant go wrong, that they are all beautiful but we want to do it right. Ayana we heard was lovely as well... but then we hear if you go to bali you have to stay at an aman....
Also HOW ARE THE AMAN SPAS? NEVER HEAR MUCH ABOUT THEM
SO CONFUSED
Unfortunately, because the Bali Amans were all built prior to the Spa craze, none of them have what I would call a serious spa. Amanusa and Amandari have the best, but they are 1-2 treatments rooms at best, HOWEVER, the treatments themselves are superb, so don't let this put you off.
I would opt for Amanusa rather than Amankila, as Kila is very isolated, so no chance of eating out. Nusa is more central, but the beach views are not so idyllic as Kila, so you have to decide what your prime requirement is - beach views or proximity to restaurants.
Best accommodation at Amanusa is The Amanusa Suite, #26, which has lofty views across the plain to the sea beyond, big private pool and really romantic interiors. My favourite.
If you opt for Amankila, which is also my favourite, then I like the Indrakila Suite, which has amazing views from its private pool deck. Only in-room spa treatments here, though, but honestly, you do not care, as it is so special.
Given that you are staying at FS Sayan, which has superb spas (2, in fact), this may not be an issue at Kila.
Don't even think of Ayana. It's not in the same league.
