Certainly a new look and did not disappoint with the visuals but the slow loading is frustrating and off putting .
The description ( of amankora) which has a category stating eg " atmosphere " in describing one of the resorts is going into Four seasons territory
Finally i notice (initial impressions) that the individual logos have gone .... All the names follow the same typeface and le melezin becomes aman le melezin .
For me this gives a less individual touch to Aman and most definately more corporate and uniform impression - yet again four seasons territory .

Terrible on an iPad, and they definitely need to improve on their photography. Resolution is pitiful (only looked at Amangiri). In addition to the pages taking a long time to load.
Quite frankly, the old site worked better.

Agree
With this new website , seems like more form & low in " substance " , can ' t get Ruya , Zoe , etc on list !!
Haven't bothered to get in . Taking ages
Think 2 previous ones were much more user friendly with helpful legible information & decent photos .
Pity . Aman needs to do much better !!

Maybe it's a matter of getting used to it - but I'd really gotten used to the simplicity of the old one.
It's nice to have more striking visuals as that really shows off Aman, but why the hell does every page take so long to load? I'm in Hong Kong - on one of the bleeding fastest internet connections known to mankind...
How painfully bad.
In terms of layout, again maybe it's just a matter of being used to the old one, but I'm finding this one quite clunky to work around.

The new website should have been much better, not so easy to use, extremely slow, with quite small pictures and nothing special at all... I'm quite disappointed because I've expected little movies for each resort and the introduction of each GM because the rule of a GM for Aman is truly important... I hope Aman will upgrade this new website very soon.

A lot of flash with little substance and the loading times too. That circle just keeps spinning round and round and I'm on Korean blazing fast mega giga internet.

I think the website is a much needed upgrade, its a bit slow but I am sure this will improve over time.

I'm undecided as yet - improved in some ways but s...l...o...w to load. I haven't quite worked out why the Amans are listed the way they are - seems a bit random to me, and the locations map is really inaccurate! I clicked on the one that should have been Amano'i and got Amansara instead, ho hum! Work in progress?

On another point, not that I had a problem with the old logo at all (really liked it in fact), but I'm realllly liking the new logo too.

On my phone, the site looked slick and loaded better.

I like the new logo, too, it is sad however that they discontinued the individual property logos and replaced them with one generic font. If they'll keep it on location remains to be seen but it's rather unfortunate, as some were very charming.
