Amanoi only open for direct booking now, grand opening should be around mid October.
SPA and some pavilions still under interior construction now. I will post some photos later too.

Really enjoying this thread!!
Just one question: we will be travveling to Amanoi from HCMcity in March. For HCMcity you recommended us to stay at the Park Hyatt. Now it seems that the Hyatt will be closed for renovation from mid Feb to beg Apr next year. I am thinking of staying in the Intercontinental instead. Do you know it and recommend it or should i rather stay somewhere else?

No direct access. The Beach Villa is at the same level as the Beach Club, but you have to go through the Beach Club to get to the beach. From the beach villa it's about 50 meters straight line from the villa to the Beach Club, but you actually have to loop back to the road through the villa entrance so it takes a couple of minutes to walk.

It looks quite amazing but I just regret to see no flowers in the room or anywhere else in the resort...

This comparison among the scenario there and the Amalfi Coast is really interesting...

I was supposed to fly out tonight, but I decided to stay for a few more days. I guess I was the first "real" guest at the resort and have had the place to myself all week. Apparently though there some other guests coming tonight and tomorrow.

Actually you have two options if Park Hyatt will be closed for renovation which I understand cause it was not so good about the design. Intercontinental Asiana is certainly good having the standards of an hotel of this group and a quite good service or if you want something more intimate you can choose a luxury boutique hotel recently renovated named Villa Song just in front of the Mekong River (www.villasong.com). I think it can be a nice alternative and a good start before and after the Amano'i journey.

Villa Song is not right in the city center but being along the Mekong is relaxing. However, planning to walk to the city center which corresponds to District 1 is not possible or hard but taxis are easy to use. But for sightseeing, it's surely better to be in city center so Intercontinental Asiana would be the only option. Consider HCMC as a big city where there is not much to see. Cholon area is quite interesting as well as all the streets around the market but it's more for atmosphere than beautiful monuments and buildings. HCMC is more vibrant than cultural... Hope it helps
