Quick review about our 5-night honeymoon stay:
- Pre-arrival was ... not great. I was expecting a welcome email, but never received one. About a week out, I proactively emailed the hotel instead and it took them ~2 days or so to respond. I learned after arrival that the person I was corresponding with also works at the front desk, so that might have put a delay on responses.
- We got married just a few days before our stay. This was recognized by a card left in the room and a small bottle of champagne. But besides that, nobody mentioned anything about it. It did slip up in conversations with the person who picked us up from the airport, and the in-hour tour guide. Both were surprised to learn that we are newlyweds.
Now I am definitely NOT the type of person that expects the world to stop and congratulate us, so this was fine. But it was definitely a stark contrast to our stay earlier this year at Giri, when I was celebrating a birthday, and pretty much the entire hotel made sure to congratulate me on the day of. - I thought the food was delicious. Loved the hash brown and french toast on the breakfast menu. The menu COULD use some variety, though. They had the same menu for our entire stay (including the same special) and we were getting a little sick of it.
- There are apparently 2 house cars (as FlyerEC pointed out above) that can be borrowed as a part of the BMW Test Drive program. The in-house tour guide mentioned that they don't advertise it as they only have 2 (not sure if they had more in the past). I vaguely remember Giri having a similar program, although there was a limit on how far you can take the car. There was no such limit at Gani, you just need to book in advance, and can only do so once during the stay. We took ours to Grand Teton NP. They did remind us to fill up the gas before returning the car, which again was fine, but somewhat not the Aman way in my (humble) opinion
Strange that they had no qualms about handing us the key to a $100k car, but would stress about $20 in gas 
- I did ask above if the $700 Grand Teton tour is worth it (versus just doing it yourself), and to answer my own question, it was. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us to some stops with great views that we most likely would have missed.
