The bamboo xylophone, light breeze, and lit pools of Amankila make for probably one of the better hotel restaurant ambiences. Truly a delightful way to end the day in paradise!

When we visited Kila, we actually spent a large part of the night having dinner then just hang out in the main restaurant/bar area where they had arranged some performances by the candle lit pools...really relaxing. But I can see how some would find this to be unappealing.

But it sounds like you've had an amazing trip! It's always nice to have your expectations exceeded ... That's the dream
RC is too large a property but would likely suit those who have not experienced Amans . The breakfast menu looks rather run of the mill .

At Kila , TVs can always be arranged as with anything within legal means , this AMAN ethos still holds .
But please do not make this request like us ( as one should try to go without except that the iPads cannot stream what we need to watch ) ..
In our numerous stays at Kila , mosquitoes have not been an issue though you get flies at times which is remedied with candles .
However , there are geckos - & they take care of the mosquitoes

Amankila Suite comes with dedicated butlers .

But service is renowned at IndonAmans so even in other suites , one is well taken care of bar unforeseen circumstances .. like various senior management taken ill ( simultaneously ) suddenly & a volcano erupts .
There are more pressing issues then !
