Immensely private and service was excellent (although our comparison is to StR, Four Seasons, Conrad, or Ritz so those more accustomed to Amans might have a different opinion). F&B spend was more reasonable than I expected (I think around $2-3k for 5 days, I was bracing for more based on Maldives experience). Villas are immaculate despite their age and the design / layout of the property makes it feel like you have the island to yourself - we rarely bumped into other guests. Got to see a turtle laying eggs one day and hatchlings crawling to the sea another day - unreal.

I'm likely going to move spend out of Marriott (new job w more flexible booking options) - but I think it's likely we'd come back for a paid stay in the future.
