So sorry for you. I'm afraid Amanyara is just a resort, not an Aman. I have yet to meet someone who said otherwise. I stayed back in 2012 and once is really enough. So many more interesting Amans, better value to be had, too. Do try Jena though!

Puri : new GM is Mr. Paul L . The team members I know are there for now .
Nemu : Hisayo

At least there are a few from Pulo at Yara . But I gather , it is pretty bad for an Aman , think somewhat regional " cultural " dilemma . And it ' ll likely take only one of the true Aman GMs to rectify the situation .
