I will be in Hong Kong next May, and have 6 nights to play around with as a side trip. One of my contenders has been Amanwana, primarily to experience the diving there, with a stay at Amanusa as well.

My big concern is the accommodations (followed by food), as there have been several reports in this forum of some major issues with upkeep. I am OK (but not enamoured) with staying in a luxury tent, since I would expect it to be of Aman standards. But I am not OK with it being run down in any regard (as that would be the factor that would tip the scales against "lux" camping for me....). If that were the case I would simply not go.

Can anyone provide any recent information on the state of accommodations there?

Also, for an expert eater with some pickiness, will I be frustrated with the choices, and have to therefore pre-arrange each of my own meals with the chef? Is food not a highlight of this particular Aman (since I understand that there is limited selection from a blackboard, aside from a la carte breakfasts)? I have read reports of simple penne pasta in tomato sauce, stews, and cheeseburgers. Is that really the case?

Also, as a solo traveller, would I be eating in a big tent along with all the other guests?

Many thanks for your input!
