have you considered reviewing Amanpuri or any of the Aman resorts? how does Aman stack up in comparison to other lux resorts that you review?

@tfft 9 ай бұрын

I think most would say that they're a step above what I normally review, but I avoid them for now as I’m not a fan of their pricing policies (essentially a baseline of $900/night, regardless of location) which makes them a really poor value in some of the locations I’d actually like to try them out. In no world should a resort in Vietnam be the same price as ‘the best’ hotel in Tokyo- especially when I know they pay standard minimum wages in Vietnam. When I see one that blows me away or seems worth the money- I’m happy to try one out.

Hi Kevin- my family and I stayed here for five nights last month. Your video definitely gave me an accurate briefing of the resort. I liked my stay slightly more than you…maybe it’s because of the villa we stayed in, which was quite an experience. I agree, the staff was fantastic. I think I would have given it a few more points (93-94) than your score. The restaurants and spa were among the best I experienced in Asia. Two quibbles : the Club was not really relaxing or that exclusive, and the patio space above the Club seemed pointless. Otherwise I would recommend w/o hesitationstaying here.

Only guests are allowed to dine Or outsiders can dine or sip drinks in the Resort?

Eating at the restaurants is fine, I saw it happen while I was there. Sipping drinks on the beach loungers I would guess is a no, though. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

did you stay at this resort? I am too having problem with selecting hotel in Phuket, seems like Covid effect is still a thing. Those who did well before Covid are struggling with quality and services, which I find it very confusing. Old days of good hotels with right price in Phuket are long gone, I believe. I am looking at Kata Noi beach and resorts nearby.
