Judging from my recent stay, this is a management issue. Some of the Philippine-trained staff was indeed excellent, but beyond that, there was no discernible difference between local and "imported" personnel. Recruiting good staff into remote locales (and retaining them) is never easy, but I wouldn't say that Turks and Caicos ranks as particularly difficult. It's a nearly year-round destination with easy flight connections into the US. In comparison, staff at Parrot Cay was more than fine.

That all being its a great property and we had a great time but I don't think it meets the Aman standard. When I have some time I'll write things up more so that y'all will have the info.

Oh and the food wasn't as bad as had been portrayed.
I would be very curious. Glad that you had better luck with the food.
