ridefar, pulo exclusives are both down in cost.
on second thought (as you mention) but without running numbers, i may have been wrong and it may be entirely due to increasing room rates. but as you mention, even if that is the case, it is kind of irrelevant, because all that matters now is current prices.
re your comment on island escape during high season, looks like youre right. im only seeing mar/apr/may in 2011/2012. (in addition to low season.)
i received the PM 5 days ago, not sure when the changes were made. the person who PMed me also pointed out that amanbagh 2015 low season rates are now currently scheduled to drop $100. those rates were just recently added, after may 1 press release. (i noticed the addition but not/misread the drop.)

while pulo casitas were just renovated AND renovations are not done yet, meaning as many as half being removed from inventory this current low season, aman does continue to experiment with rates/inclusions/exclusives. and thats not new. ill continue to track some changes in values. some may foreshadow others.
