Amanoi is located in Vinh Hy Bay in southern Vietnam. The nearest airport is Cam Ranh International Airport, about an hour away from the hotel. Amanoi has quite a large area, so a buggy is needed to get to different points within the hotel. Normally, I like to walk, but it's definitely not feasible here. However, during the stay, I never waited more than 5 minutes for a buggy. The accommodations come in various types, including Pavilions, Villas, and Residences, with views of either the ocean or the mountains, depending on your preference. The room we stayed in was the Ocean Pool Villa. The view from the room was stunning, offering a panoramic view of the sea. It was so beautiful that I didn't want to leave the room. The private pool was large enough for serious swimming. The room's interior was beautifully decorated and fully equipped with amenities. Additionally, there was a complimentary non-alcoholic minibar, replenished daily. A unique feature of Amanoi is that even rooms of the same type can have significantly different views or pool layouts. It's recommended to read plenty of reviews to decide on the room number you want and request it in advance with the reservation team. The service was excellent, up to Aman’s high standards. Ms. Joy, the GM of Amanoi, warmly welcomed us throughout our stay. The staff remembered the names of the guests and addressed them by name every time. Whenever we left the room, the housekeeping team would clean it promptly. The hotel has two main pools. The first is the Cliff Pool near the Central Pavilion, offering a high vantage point of the sea. This pool provides fruit and ice cream for guests. The second pool is at the Beach Club near the hotel's private beach. Personally, I preferred the Cliff Pool because of the beautiful view. The hotel has two beach areas. The first is the main beach at the Beach Club, which offers water sports like kayaking and SUP. There are also masks and fins available for snorkeling around the beach. The second beach is Shell Beach, located to the south of the hotel. While you can't swim here, the water is very clear, making it perfect for a scenic walk. There are two restaurants at the hotel: the Main Restaurant, offering all-day dining, and the Beach Club Restaurant, which serves lunch only. Breakfast here is up to Aman’s high standards, with every dish being a la carte, well-prepared, and of high quality. An alternative option is to have breakfast in your Villa at no extra cost. Additionally, there is a complimentary afternoon tea service daily from 3:30 to 4:30 PM. Another special feature is Goga Peak, a viewpoint where you can watch the sunrise. It takes about 15 minutes to hike up, and the view from the top is spectacular, overlooking the hotel and Vinh Hy Bay. This is a highly recommended activity and worth waking up early for. Overall, I was very impressed with this stay and recommend staying for at least three nights, as there are plenty of activities at the hotel. In my opinion, the ocean view rooms offer a better view than the mountain view rooms. I definitely want to go back if I get the chance.

I want to give Amanoi five stars. A few things fell short. 1) the the size of the adults-only pool (maybe 8-10 loungers) which was not-enforced as adults-only (kids, teenagers), service was attentive despite the lack of enforcing no kids, and 2) the beach club was a bit odd in set-up in that diners are right next to the pool loungers. December is very windy and at times rainy, so be prepared (no fault of the resort, of course!) Make spa appointments in advance - I had life changing treatments and the treatments were exceptional. The room was expansive, well-appointed, excellent housekeeping. Specialty drinks at the bar were very creative and tasty. The dining menu is expansive, perhaps too expansive. I didn't find any one particular item out of this world. I would go back for the serenity and spa. It was a short stay and with the weather it didn't make much sense to book excursions, so I can't speak to those. If you care about pool access consider a villa with a private plunge. The sunsets are suppose to be amazing but sadly the weather didn't cooperate!

We had the most amazing time at Amanoi. The Residence had an incredible pool, living areas were spacious and private. Perfect for family. But what impressed us the most was impeccable service and the attention to details - hair tie in the shower, frequent room tidying, swapping out pillows for my MIL without us even asking as they noticed she didn’t sleep on it. Nothing was amiss and nothing was too difficult and last minute for the team to handle. Shoutout to Tran and Tony who were super friendly, accomodating and helpful.

Above the rest and extra mile hospitality from Amanoi! This Aman property is blessed to have these people Nhi, Vy, Lam, Anh, Truck, Han, Hieu, Ubai, Oriane and Trinh. They were warm, genuine and kindhearted. The view of Amanoi is breathtaking. Amenities were all great. Overall, our experience is rated 10/10. Keep it up Aman Team!!!

First class service. We stayed at the Amanoi for 5 days, I can’t really find fault. Worth every single penny. The staff are extremely professional and well trained. The food is of a quality not customary in a hotel setting, every single dish had 10/10 technique. Congratulations to Joy and Doris for running the place with such high standards. You are taking hospitality to another level.
