Grateful for a bit of advice on planning a return visit to Amanpulo next year.
We visited in April 2015, stayed in Deluxe Hillside Casita 40 and loved it.
Considering a return in April 2017.
However, we are UK based, and the post-Brexit currency moves plus room rate increases mean we are up against a few budgetary constraints this time.
So two questions which would be wonderful if anyone could answer:
1. Hillside Casitas - how do the views size up vs. the Deluxe Hillside Casitas and will we be disappointed after Casita #40? How many standard Hillside Casitas are there, and which ones have the best views? Are any of them close to the path to the East beach, which is by the foot of Casita 40, and which we used a lot last time?
2. Does anyone have any advice on how to maximise use of Aman Exclusives, or get access to any free night/discounted rate offers as a UK-based guest? All the exclusives on the Aman website currently listed expire by 31 March 2017. Any ideas when they will be extended out to cover April and beyond? And I've read a lot about Virtuoso benefits and free night offers on here - but these appear geared towards US guests? Any idea how to access these from the UK? And have there been/are there/will there be any free night offers for Amanpulo? Ditto for credit card offers like Amex FHR - any free night/free upgrade angles here that can be taken advantage of from the UK?
Any advice very gratefully received!
Booking directly could possibly give you a guaranteed upgrade since it is a return visit.
