I haven't visited Amanjena and in no way is this a defense of the property, but it was designed by Ed Tuttle, who also designed the original Amanpuri. Amanjena was opened in 2000, perhaps around the time that Adrian Zecha was "away"(?), but I believe these resorts usually take quite a few years to bring from conception to reality.
