We just come back from an 8-night stay in a beach pool casita. We stayed in #1 which seems to have a bigger pool with a shallow part as shown above.
The hard product starts to show its age indeed, yet everything works perfectly and everything has been well thought after. The timeless island decor is ok as the important part is the view. You cannot get bored of these 50 shades of blue!
Food is way better than what we experienced back in 2015. The Japanese restaurant at Lagoon Club is fantastic. The Beach Club offers an obvious nice view. Its capacity has been increased and the place is even better for dinner than for lunch. Our favorite was the Club House, which is quieter with a wider choice (south East Asian dishes). We also tried the beach BBQ right in front of our casita. It’s a must! Obviously prices are stellar, nothing comes cheap today…
At departure we were delighted to be offered the famous Amanjunkie polo shirt!
There is still some room for improvement:
- the pizza oven moved from the Picnic Grove to the Lagoon Club. Why?
- Service is inconsistent. We celebrated Alex’s birthday during our stay. We expected a ‘happy birthday’ sign at the back of our golf cart like we saw on others but it didn’t happen.
- The west villa club house is very nice with a great pool but nothing happens there. Why not taking advantage of this space to set up a games room (there is already a ping-pong), or use it one way or another?
- Last but not least it could be nice to organise some special evenings, like it happens in other Amans.
Overall we spent our best holidays in Amanpulo and we would come back in a heartbeat if it was closer to Europe.
