HNA / China abandons bid after no response.....

its nice that HNA has gone on the record twice, but then, with no other confirmation, what are we to interpret?


“in the valid period”

“HNA Group does not wish to continue participating in the bidding process,”
keep in mind the latest "reports" were that the sale to HNA was confirmed and closing in 2 days.

"HNA Group participated in the bidding. But we did not receive any feedback information for the bid result in the period of validity. HNA Group has given up on the project," a spokeswoman told Reuters.

A DLF spokesman in New Delhi denied the deal was on hold. "We do not comment on market speculation during the course of negotiations with prospective bidders," the spokesman said.

A spokesman for the diversified Sahara Group, which bought London's Grosvenor House hotel from the Royal Bank of Scotland for 470 million pounds in 2010, said the group was in discussions for the luxury hotel chain a few months earlier. "Probably from then no discussion is there and Sahara is not much interested in this proposal," the spokesman said.

Hospitality 4 Bids received in the second round, currently being evaluated and negotiated

and 2 comments from DLF

Other articles have speculated that all the bids have been coming in low.

In Yogyakarta in April by myself, really want to spend a few nights (or at least 2) at Amanjiwo. How is Amanjiwo for solo travellers?

The service is not necessarily important to me...I won't spend much time in the hotel (Borobudur and Prambanan being my main tours) and being a solo traveller I am not going to spend time in restuarants either.

But how many single travellers do you get normally at Aman resorts? Are they treated like green aliens?

You'll be fine !! Mark & team will take excellent care of you.
Go for it, you'll have a great time.

I've been at some Amans by myself, & it's quite wonderful .. Peaceful surroundings , decent food..
Have met others enjoying time on own too.
Enjoying beautiful sunrises/ sunsets now at Amankila - this time with spouse.
Splendid private beach dinner/ bonfire again - always love the experience whether one catches the sunset or not.
Amazingly only a ferry in view . If you in the tiered pools, only a couple of fishing sampans seen :)
