Can anyone provide any recent information on the state of accommodations there?
did you see one of the compilation posts i did?
not sure when rainy season is, and whether it can be good to go before that, or after the annual refresh.
definitely be in touch in advance re schedule of room refresh. you can also look at different rooms when you arrive. and you might have a backup plan in case you want to leave. i would think you could communicate with them on your expectations, and you could even switch to another aman etc before finishing the trip to wana, if they let you know for example that they are booked up and the remaining tents may not meet your expectations. could also confirm contingency plans on their part in advance as well.

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?
amanjunkies have discussed having one aman send recipe to another, etc. (now that youve done several.)
definitely be in touch in advance re food and get the menus and talk to chef/management about off the menu. many here say they order off the menu at aman.
paul2 and
FlyerEC especially may be able to comment re wana specifically.
there should also be a list of special dining options, and im sure they have lots of places to set up a 'regular' meal.
