Amanwana is my second favorite Aman, after Amanpulo. Tied for #2 with Amanbagh actually.

the point is that those pics happened once. how it happened that the annual refresh was not 100% done in 2010, i have no idea. i dont recall another discussion coming up before or after.
i quoted posts where people stayed similar time as Groombridge and had no issues whatsoever. i thought my posts were clear. i did not want to quote all of Groombridge's lengthy discussion. the point was he raised valid issues. years ago.

i quoted posts where people stayed alongside Groombridge and had no issues whatsoever. i thought my posts were clear. i did not want to quote all of Groombridge's lengthy discussion. the point was he raised valid issues.

And to my eyes, those pictures represent more than the missing of one annual refresh. This looks like sustained lack of upkeep to me. I hope they have fixed that, but who wants to chance it?

there is a lot of discussion of service recovery here, but would be nice to see more, even if unspecific. because problems can happen anywhere at any time at any price point.

Jean-Pierre Baratin (opening GM of Sveti Stefan) was also helping out with the Venice opening. I suspect he will soft open Cavtat.

Talking about GMs, anyone knows who is opening Amano'i?

I don't recall her name, but I do recall hearing that she was previously the GM of the Six Senses Con Dao. So apparently Aman 'recruited' her. This information came from Char Grey when I was visiting Amanzoe, so I assume it's pretty accurate.

I don't remember Livio telling us he was in Venice when we asked about the Aman Grand Canale, I believe he went from Jena --> Sveti Stefan --> Wana. His family was there with him whilst we were there, but only for 2 months I think. A bit tough on his kid since summer holiday is one of their busiest time... Much respect to the GMs who need to juggle all these things around ^
