I would like to ask for your opinion on which Garden pavillon to ask for (if any) and which activities to choose in the cultural trails package.
Many thanks in advance!
N.B.: this will be part of a short RTW trip of 3 weeks: CDG-SFO-PVG-SIN-Amanjiwo-SIN-CDG
Hello SeamasterLux! Stayed at Aman Jiwo in 2012 and the experience was just perfect. I would highly recommend the sunrise Borobudur tour. It gives you the opportunity to visit an architectural and cultural wonder at a time when there are few other guests there. While the tour is not private to Aman Jiwo, the guides Aman provided were all extremely knowledgeable, and like the staff there, had an impressive ability to be both helpful and informative, yet disappear when you wanted to admire the temple quietly.
Bike riding through the area villages was also very enjoyable, but do keep in mind that Aman Jiwo is essentially on a mountain.
