Amanwella

Sehr schön sehr sauber schöner Strand gutes Essen

Nach einer etwas enttäuschenden ersten Erfahrung mit einem anderen Markenobjekt kann ich mit Sicherheit sagen, dass Amanwella alle Erwartungen nicht nur erfüllt, sondern übertroffen hat. Es ist wirklich das, was ich von der Marke erwartet habe: außergewöhnlicher Service und Liebe zum Detail. Amanwella war vom Anfang bis zum Ende des Aufenthalts großartig. Leckeres Essen (der Koch ist großartig!), fantastische Massage (die Abhyanga-Massage auf dem Balkon unserer Suite war unvergesslich!), die Sauberkeit des Zimmers (das Personal ist außergewöhnlich), der tolle Barkeeper (schade, dass ich mich nicht daran erinnere). Name, aber vielen Dank für die tollen Cocktails und das Arrack-Erlebnis), der Service am Pool... es gibt keine Worte, um es zu beschreiben. Ich kann nicht umhin zu erwähnen, dass Teekshana, unser Juwel, ein Meister der Gastfreundschaft ist! Abschließend möchte ich unbedingt den stets anwesenden und aufmerksamen General Manager, Herrn Sonam, erwähnen. Großartige Arbeit! Amanwella hat bei meiner Frau und mir wirklich den Wunsch geweckt, in den kommenden Jahren weitere Immobilien zu besichtigen. Wir werden unsere Zeit in Amanwella vermissen!

After staying at Amangalla, which was absolutely fantastic, we came to Amanwella. We were a little apprehensive after having had such a great time at the first hotel. But Amanwella was great, too! The architecture by famous Australian, Kerry Hill, is stunning and smack dab in the middle of a dreamy tropical beach! The infinity pool cantilevers over the serene and gorgeous view, with beautiful sunsets a-plenty. We enjoyed spending time in the attractive library, read and saw books on local history, to Nixon. The whole place was immaculate. We really enjoyed our safari to Yala National Park. Rujitha and an our driver Chummly accompanied us and they were awesome! Thank you guys! We had a blast! We saw monkeys, elephants and even a leopard! We got very lucky. We enjoyed the food and the people who served us in the two restaurants and the people at the front desk and even the tuk tuk drivers. We happily did yoga everyday! We also went up to the rock temple. Definitely got our steps in for the month, but it was worth it. Our room was large, comfortable, and beautiful with a great view of the ocean. We can’t say enough about the place. It’s relaxing and beautiful and the people who work there are both well trained but also kind. If you go, don’t forget to eat the ice cream! Honestly the best we’ve ever had. We also took a great cooking class with the Executive Sous Chef, who was patient, friendly and knowledgeable. So fun and interesting. We enjoyed the musicians, too! We had fun meeting a few of the other guests, and ended up having very interesting conversations with people from the other side of the world. But it’s also a place you could go and if you wanted to , you could just spend time quietly by yourself. Highly recommend Amanwella. We will treasure our memories forever.

This was my 6th Aman experience and not the best one. The positive’s: I arrived in the evening so didn’t get a sense of how stunning the beach was. One of the best I have seen in Sri Lanka was a combination of golden sands, blue water and palm trees. Grounds are nice, villas are posh GM Carl, checks on you daily. There was a strong start to the Aman hospitality at check-in. They do not have TVs and their response was, we will happy to instal one. The food was really good in both the beach club and the main restaurant. The reality: Activities are hit or miss due to weather, I appreciate the effort to make sure everything is great, but you need to make the decision to go forward with an experience more than 2 hours before you go. City tour was off brand and the transfers were both bad. The negatives: Going to the hotel the driver was speeding in the rain, coming back another driver had no clue where he was going. We messaged our butler and he basically said he wasn’t working for another 3 hours (not what you want to hear). We stopped at the other Aman to grab a drink and use the facilities. We ran into another manager from Amanwella. He said he came to check on us which was really nice, but he didn’t talk to the driver or see us off to make sure the 2nd half of the drive went smoothly. Which it didn’t.
