However , the situation was made even worse . The HM replied in a some cookie cutter manner & another FTer in a similar boat received the same email , just having our names changed !

They fail to note that we are Amanjunkies . When combined as FTer , well

“ Recently “ , Aman has failed to retain some good management & has instead ‘ promoted ‘ some rather green ones .
Thankfully , we still have some GMs who have the Aman ethos - whatever is left of it ?
I know these are very busy people. I get that. But, when did common courtesy and email etiquette go out the window? Mine was a physical letter that I actually took some time to praise the great staff members, great food and write about the no-so-great spots. I never really thought a senior Japanese hotelier could half heartedly do something but this took the cake. I've seen it all now.
