SeamasterLux, our experience is almost identical to Musken's. Our first Aman was 13 years ago at Hotel Bora Bora for our honeymoon. We've since been to 13 of their properites. We have stayed for 2 nights all the way up to 2 weeks. Some of the shorter stays have been driven by the lack of US vacation time, but also by the US recession. (Which we are still in, BTW)

If you like the idea of luxury hotels, I think you should give Amanresorts a shot. Even if only for a short stay. Please avail yourself of all of the trip reports on this forum for the various properties. I don't recall Sara being one of my favorites, but others may feel differently.
