They then changed it just to pool or deluxe pool, and now they've changed it back again.
I think 27 has a larger pool and would therefore be a sea view deluxe. When I took my dad a few years ago, I put him into a sea view deluxe and we never ended up using the pool. They also didn't put us next to each other and it was a pain whenever I wanted to go see him.

I said before their response that I would likely return, so yes, post their response, I'll give them another go, probably mid-September just after we come back from South Africa/Madagascar.

I would have checked out after a couple of nights.
I unfortunately feel there is truth in this from other Aman resorts I've stayed at, but at least here they've taken it seriously. The fact that Amanzoe is almost 100% occupied during 4 months of the year and that there is no competition is very reminiscent of Amangiri, where they can charge high prices and not offer a service that would be expected at that price point.
