But I guess what you get when you commission Philippe Starck rather than Ed Tuttle or Jaya Ibrahim.
I might encourage some criticism in this forum but I am puzzled by GHMs directions - The Setai seems a long way from the serenity of The Legian. And while I would question the business rationale for The Strand, it is certainly in a nicer way tourist-y than The Yamu.
I don't know what that means for the direction of future Amans. Le'ts hope for the best and be prepared...
