great details aa213bb!

any discussion of whether they are going to heat any pools? i notice seasonal temperatures only vary 10 degrees.

what pavilion number?

Pleased to say that the boutique is now open & an even wider selection will be arriving .

Liked the Beach Club , Cliff & pavilion pools . Pool water was a bit chilly as it was in the sea but enjoyed the brief swims - one really had to keep swimming as it was not floating temperature and also windy ( but not as much as before our arrival when outdoor activities were cancelled according to others )
Not sure if I posted elsewhere but the ' kinks ' like the table on the terrace is being changed so that it is at dining height. Well , you can also enjoy the superb spa more often if you get a sore back from leaning over too much
One wonders if the architect , who decided on the furniture & whose company made or was responsible for the furniture at Amano'i , realized this.

Anyone who is reading this & deciding if to go should just go. As the others have already indicated.
We are already planning our next visit - the flight to Cam Ranh wasn't harrowing , just very full. Plus parts of the coastal highway still in the works should be more or less ready , hopefully soon.
