It is only my second time here (previous was 8 years ago), food and service are way better than what I experienced back then.

And seeing turtles is still magical 😍

The turtle release was such an emotional experience. Loving your footage.

In re F&B @ Amanpulo. Even recently, having visited in 2019 and again in 2022, I can say, the F&B has improved tremendously. Space also improved significantly, a full deck and lounge space/ bar, has been added adjacent to the beach club. I know Nicolas was heavily focused with improving menu and service over summer. Namely, Kadir, F&B Manager from Amanruya was brought on to help renew. Based on our experience at Amanruya, Kadir is a fabulous addition. Even when we were swamped by an army of wasps at ruya, we felt graced by his management, approach to service and quality.

One thing that hasn't really changed and thankfully so iis the fire pizza, which remains one of the best pizza pies I've had on an island, hands down (ask for thin crust). For those familiar with the property, the pizza oven was moved out of the Pinic Grove Space and to the lagoon side adjacent to The Lagoon Club.

Nicolas has a great sensibility for F&B and I look forward to his improvements and developments across Asia.
