Just been in Amanwana this June. Extremely beautiful property with amazing nature and marine offerings!

The tents were in very good state when we were there. In fact they are more like standalone suites than tent to us as everything is set in ground and the only "tent" bit is the canopy! Wooden door of bathrooms and toilets are brand new. Compared to Amanikhas, the Amanwana tent may feel less spacious but trust me you would be frolicking on the beach deck or enjoying the wonderful marine life just steps away. The tent is therefore perfectly adequate, would love to have a bathtub though! Not sure when they do their annual refurb tho, better fire Livio an email, he is one of the warmest GM we've met.

Re food, make sure you arrange a seafood bbq or request for prawn/lobster. Their seafood is really really fresh! Also agree FlyerEC's recommendation for Moyo honey and honeycomb icecream They have changed the head chef recently and we have had some amazing Indonesian food! Expect no Michelin star glam (and foamy things), salad were fresh (and homegrown as pointed out by FlyerEC), western items such as risotto and steak are done to a high standard. Simple items like burgers and pasta appear in the lunch menu and the dinner menu is a bit more "sophisticated". I would strongly suggest you have a chat with the chef if you want anything out of the "blackboard menu".

I have taken quite a few pics, will upload them after work!
