Just got back. Will post review of Puri as soon as I can. Dealing with a bit of jet lag right now...
In short, time makes the heart grow fonder, and as days pass I look upon my stay at the Aman much more favorably than when I was actually there....maybe my in-the-moment expectations were too high?
Look forwarding to seeing Amanoi and Amantaka next year
FWIW, the Siam is probably my favorite hotel in the world right now...
