Kevin Brooke went on to do a good job, but last time I was there, it did seem to have changed - Russian weddings, drones over the beach and a lack of direction throughout. As Pausanias says in a later post, he was there at the beginning of Aman in 1988 and it was wonderful (I was also there back then), but like him, Iwould not wish to be there at the end.
