Since I'm planning my holidays of January 2014, I'm considering 3 nights at the Sara or at the La Residence Angkor. I'm not too impressed by the design of the Sara; I find it rather neutral and without any local inspiration but it might be the pictures of the website... I don't know.
After that I'll fly to Vietnam either to the Six Senses Ninh Van Bay or to the Nam Hai.
I was especially glad to discover that not everyone started by staying 2 weeks in one shot at Aman resorts and that it could also be the splurge of 2 nights out of 10. In that case Musken, can you please tell me in what kind of accomodation you were staying aside from the Aman for the remaining nights?
The first Aman we stayed at was Amanjena in Marrakesch 12 years ago. We stayed there after a 10 days round trip with rental car through the deserts and mountains, staying in 3 or 4 star hotels that I cannot remember the names of. One had little "caves" where we slept in, mattresses on the floor and not possible to stand up. Very romantic, though. We felt we came to heaven when arriving at Amanjena after this trip and had a wonderful time there.
One year later we went to Bali. We stayed in Amankila after having stayed in pretty good, but much cheaper hotels. One (Ubud) was called Waka di Ume or something like that and the other one was at Lovina Beach (North Bali). Damai Lovina Beach, I think it was called. Great food and pretty good service as well, but no idea if it even exists today.
