Kage,

Ok. I think "same spirit of service" was an exaggeration insulting to Aman but what I meant with this really is that you feel like a resident guest rather than just a visitor/number which even at some Four Seasons I feel like.

For example, little touches such as customizing the food with no set menu, having that food served at little pretty-ish nooks around the property, not having to see that bill after that meal and sign because you'll just see it when you check out. I've experienced this kind of thing at say Villa del Quar (Verona) and Fortaleza (Cascais). That's the sort of treatment and "informality" I've only come to expect at Amans.

*Oh and I forgot one added difference. While Aman has wonderful beds such as those coco-mats at Sveti, the R&C "antiques" I've slept in have sometimes been hit or miss. :-S
