pretty sure that’s available through virtuoso as well right?
i find prepay at 15 days is fine.... I hate the 60 day plus that some places (I’m looking at your Twin Farms) a bit much. For small remote hotels; it’s effectively a two week cancellation policy which is fair in either direction in my opinion...

So I think I have my list of events/excursions we want to do.
Fishing Village, Sacred Sham, Taste of Phan Rang, Lunch Picnic at Ong Hao.
My question is, does anyone have any recommendations for dinner? There's the cliff pool dinner, the beachside BBQ and the lake romantic dinner.
Amanoi recommended the Cliff Pool dinner and doing the twilight cliff lounge before hand. Cliff lounge is pretty pricey at basically $400 for what seems like not much.
Any thoughts?

For my upcoming stay in May I've selected the following:
Thai An Cycling Tour
Romantic Dinner at Lake Pavilion
Lunch Picnic w/ Snorkling at Suoi Sao beach
Taste of Phan Rang tour
Vietnamese Cooking Class
Hike to Goga Peak
based on my communications with Joy, these are some of the most popular activities, I was also debating between the Lake Dinner and the Cliff Side Dinner, but ultimately decided on the Lake, as I am not sure how the view would be at the Cliff Side once the sun sets, could be a great spot to have breakfast or lunch during our stay though, so we may end up doing that.

Goga Peak pics in the 360 here (sorry, can't embed the 360 here - or not sure how to): https://www.thesuitelife.com.hk/aman...-hotel-review/
A few of my DSLR pics were also taken FROM Goga Peak, looking back onto Amanoi (e.g. the pic of Amanoi Ocean Pool Villa #3 )

I would say you can skip visiting Vinh Hy (not much there). We did the Cau Gay Discovery hike instead, which starts at the edge of Vinh Hy and takes you up through a much more traditional village to a homestead on the mountain where the sister of one of the Amanoi beach ladies (who is also the guide) lives. Really, really cool, but be aware the hike is tough in places (steep with some big rocks to climb over, streams to cross, etc.)
On the question about payment in advance, those were our payment terms as well and they just never charged it in advance. Don’t know if that was an anomaly (it was this year though).
The staff at Amanoi are so amazing that you’ll be well taken care of no matter what you choose to do. You can’t go wrong.

So given that my trip to Amanoi is about a week away, I started to look at the weather forecast.
and unfortunately it looks like there will be Thunderstorms pretty much for the whole time that I'm there.
Just curious to know how accurate the forecast are? And is Amanoi still enjoyable even if it does rain the whole time we are there?

We ended up spaing and a lot of Netflix and chilling. It was a disaster but nature and the microclimate is something you can't control.
