You are right, I had to list them out — apparently they can’t hook up their systems to synch.
I was able to get in touch with Audeline but alas, not to much help. For those that did not have the best experience with current management, I unfortunately can see why. The good news is, a new GM is arriving this week. A great time for Aman junkies to experience the island — which is magnificent. I am a beach baby and the sand and sea are amongst the best I’ve seen.
Quick trip update: casitas are still well maintained, albeit a little bit dated. Food is great (but I enjoy Filipino food) and service is warm, caring and sincere. Some items are severely dated — like the public washrooms — but you don’t feel it so much because it blends in with the whole island look. Guitar player is still lovely each evening. We saw lots of turtles - and I mean lots! Like 50! I enjoyed the huge pool and tea time which just came back post-Covid.
Weather was generally ok with some short showers. The spa and their providers are outstanding, this is what a true massage feels like for those who have aches and pains.
Flight delays were a bit of a nuisance and unpleasant after a long haul. Would I come back? It’s tough to say considering you could get a more upgraded hard product at the Maldives though the sand isn’t on par nor is the service as heartfelt. I’d be curious to see how the new GM takes the reins.
