Well , done .
Some FTer ( s ) have extended there stay to 4 & even 8 nights with Citi Prestige & other 4th night free .
Think I may have mentioned similar about Ubud day trips somewhere too . Have even gone there for dinner and back at least once from Kila .

Introduction Having been invited to Kila ' s 20 th anniversary celebrations , it is perhaps befitting that we are here again ( but only twice so far ) this year .It was a pleasant surprise to find ourselves in the Kilasari suite for her 25 th , we usually let the GM decide which category we end up in . Wonder if we have been staying about the same number of times ..We were greeted by the the senior and many of our Kila family Check In Swift in suite 
On arrival at the main driveway & with greetings / floral welcome by one the Balinese school girls sponsored by Kila , we were " buggied " to Kilasari . GM Ernst L joined us Room Similar to the others but only one with an infinity pool !! Decent size but smaller than Amankila Suite ' s .Has larger patio / verandah . Almost wrap around .Being at the highest point of the property , one can the views to be rewarding . Dining Celebration dinner was at the Beach Club b

Looks like emails to GMs have to take a different tack . Besides like occupancy for best suite available , need to check / find out how ‘ Aman ‘ it will be then . ..

Senior Guest Services Manager Amangani June 2011 – May 2015
Guest Services Manager's responsibility to become a central coordinator of the entire resort. It is their responsibility to know where the guests are at all times and what their plans are so that we may adjust our restaurant, bellmen, and housekeeping accordingly. Through this coordination, our guests never wait for a table or their car, and they never see a housekeeper servicing their suite, thus providing them with optimal service.

Last thing I heard from Joy was that she plans to stay at Noi for a good while... she is so happy there. And one of the true Aman superstars...

Joy is a very busy lady. She had just gotten back from Puri on our final night.
It's very secluded at Noi but they do have a recently added direct flight from Hong Kong. I think that's why there they were there because Amanoi is marketing itself as the closest Aman from HK.
