is the timing of this thread a coincidence?
broaching subject of alternatives to amanresorts?
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/luxur...n-resorts.html

if you mean 'boutique = no facilities' then >
- amans have massive facilities for roomcount
- R&C has major focus on public restaurants

if cheaper alternatives, not ballyfin, which has comparisons to aman

there is no other R&C like ballyfin

lower price or ballyfin/aman ?

that is how you summarize service?
plus facilities as mentioned above

because R&C is not a management company and has 583 hotels

and even management companies still have variation

if you have had amazing experiences at R&C, at least posting some properties (if not some detail) is something that would be of interest to most if not everyone here, and appreciated

(this was a great unique thread - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/luxur...ot-missed.html)
