FlyerEC I hope when you're able to, do go see the new Parrot Cay (PC). I know I sound like a broken record since my recent return visit to PC and Yara but PC is just getting better and better under Tapa's watch.
Since my return and review in Dec. I've had more than a handful of clients / forum members ask me about Yara and PC, I've booked all clients at PC since and advised non client members to lean to PC as well (given their personal tastes).
Not saying that PC is perfect or anything but for Turks, the best service (esp. in beach houses or villas) and perhaps most Aman like. Yes, even compared to Yara (unless you're in a villa).

Must catch up with Tapa & plan / talk about next RWC in France . Also Ian W ..
FTer 1readyset2go had a blast there 2020 especially after being extremely disappointed on missing Pulo last year & again this year . Had to cheer him up somehow to a possible to get to beach place & be in extremely good hands like at PC !
We were supposed to have had our second rendezvous - looks like perhaps 2022 now .
Lining up potentials including with AZ & AZ ‘ s !
Some are safely “ stuck “ in Singapore

Have not been yet ! Trying to figure out how best to do flights especially the “ long haul “ , routing & possibly detours to as many AMANs as possible . Need to meet up with COMO team . Possibly CO to chat .

Giri is not happening this year either ( think part of my above post disappeared ?? ) , or Gani ..
Perhaps if we can string a trip with Bermuda , Rosewood ? , where Shane L is working remotely from & string after EU with PC & Yara , ..
Think our Cruisemates might flip , yes , Huka Lodge along with other lodges too is in priority with friends as postponed Armenia & Georgia ( must be first before other destinations ) if NZ opens soon , .. Brando ?
Pity no AMANs in French Polynesia any more .
Need to get some real work done - trip dreaming & planning does not count , perhaps take cue from Shane !!

Sven is not the GM there and he joined in mid-December. Did not get into what happened, but my sense was this all came to ahead very recently.
I had not stayed at Jena before, but service does not miss a beat. Sven was great, and service was solid throughout. The chef from Aman Venice was also flown down to help out since they were closed, but he is going back to Venice (may be back already)

I mentioned this in the Marrakech specific forum, but Astrid is actually no longer at Jena.

I am really hoping to visit Kyoto (Azumi) later this year as I will have to return to Japan for a work stint in Tokyo as soon as possible...

Anybody knows if this website is legitimate? noble-stay.com.
They sell certificates to quite a few Asian Amans with a 50% bonus (so like a 33% discount). Certificates are good until 2024 and the terms appear to be extremely flexible.
