We just returned from the Dominican Republic (family of four, five night stay). I made an inquiry to Amanera and was told our family (children are nine years of age) would require two suites or the two bedroom suite. The property seems quite unfriendly for family travel based on this communication (paying double rate to travel with small children?)
We stayed in Cap Cana, at the Eden Roc. The Dominican staff were outstanding... as attentive as any service we have experienced at Amangiri or Amangani. The amenities of golf, beach club, kids' club and beach restaurant were ideal for family travel. The hospitality of the Dominican people was warm... I have high expectations that Amanera will offer excellent service based on our (limited) experience with the Dominican people.
