Probably for people bringing freeze-dried food with them on holidays at Aman resorts
But you have a point regarding the fact that once you're taking into account all the things that are included, you're probably closer to 1000 USD per day at the Raffles / Hotel de la Paix. As a Hyatt Diamond I'm wondering whether that wouldn't be the best value for me and then opting for Amanpulo for 5 days.
Difficult choice! And you people write too amazing trip reports, it influences my dreams!
