Since you loved Wella ( we did too ) , you would absolutely be delighted at Puri . No comparison really .
Cannot wait to return , even though the new gallery does not fit in with the timeless original architecture and the pioneer staff are no more .
But the legacy , wisely and thankfully , has been carried on by the team . It seems Nicolas I has been an inspiring GM for this team
Doubt we will make next week , another attempt to meet an FTer but more like April before your stay
Not that convenient getting to SS .. like the complimentary ice cream bar / parlour !
Thank you for the reply FlyerEC !
Sounds like we'd very much enjoy Puri then! I have a couple of queries..
1) do Aman rates seem lower at the moment due to Covid? Or have rates remained the same as prior to Covid?
2) One other resort we're considering is Soneva Kiri. Do you have any thoughts on Kiri?
Kiri would be more hassle with entry requirements and potentially more families (?) , but looks to be a more unique experience.
I'm also unsure whether Koh Kood or Phuket would have better weather mid-May..
