About the Hotel

Each elegant Aman Resort welcomes a distinctive clientele. Amanpulo, on its own private island just an hour�(TM)s flight southwest from Manila, is a sun-kissed retreat for true beach lovers. Part of the Cuyo Archipelago, northeast of Palawan Island, guests arrive by private plane to the island’s own airstrip. Each of the expansive Villas and the 42 beachfront, treetop and hillside Casitas, reflect their island home both inside and out. Pamper yourself at the Spa set on a hillside above the treetops designed as a tranquil sanctuary. Enjoy cuisine featuring locally-caught seafood and island-grown vegetables and herbs on the menu. Dishes can be centered around ingredients that guests pick themselves from the island’s organic garden.

Reviews for Amanpulo

Still Great

Reviewed 5 days ago

This was our 4th stay at Amanpulo and we go every time we are in the Philippines. It is still in our top two resorts anywhere in the world. The beach is as good as any we have seen with soft white sand and clear, blue, warm water. They are fighting some beach erosion and this is the first time we have seen seaweed on the beach but it is not material. Some areas of the beach are less affected by the erosion so we try to request beach casitas in certain areas of the beach. The service, staff, food and spa are great. A few negative comments (but take with a grain of salt given my above comments); They need to replace the beds and pillows which were no longer comfortable. They have a lot of sand flies which definitely bite so make sure you continually use the insect lotion provided or bring your own. The Beach Club restaurant could use a menu and service upgrade and was not as good as the other restaurants. They have added a lot of villas over the years (17 villas with 84 rooms) to go with the 43 casitas so some resources seemed a bit overloaded. Book early for lunch and dinner reservations, spa appointments and boat cruises. We encountered unavailability of each of those at our desired days/times. There also used to be bikes placed at every casita for each guest and we had to ask for them and one was taken away before we left. Maybe some overall cost cutting going on?

Almost perfect

We stayed at Amanpulo for 5 nights recently. We had two beach Casitas (5 and 6) which were well positioned, on a beautiful beach. The villas were well appointed and very large. The island is amazing with beaches that match the best of anywhere else in the world. The staff were warm and welcoming and very helpful. We ate at all the restaurants and the only downside was that, at all but one dinner, not all the menu options were available to order. This was very disappointing for such an expensive resort and very surprising. Otherwise, an amazing experience!

Loved this so much that decided to extend by a few more days and move to a beach casita (vs. a hilltop). It's worth the additional cost to be right on the beach and be able to step straight on to the glorious white sand each morning and evening. Staff and service all excellent - friendly, helpful, nothing is a problem. Take advantage of the complimentary watersports and facilities - the water is so beautiful you want to spend as much time in it as possible. Tennis, kids club, spa, gym, all great. It's very remote so pack everything you need. We required the island doctor a few times for our kids and he was brilliant but best to have everything you think you might need packed. We'll definitely be back and highly, highly recommend as one of the top Aman's we've stayed in.

Very nice stay

Experience was excellent. Room was fine. In Manila, you’ll be leaving from a private part of the airport. They’ve a small nice lounge there which puts you already in the right mood. The flight is about 90 minutes on a small ~15 pax plane. Upon arrival at Amanpulo, they pick you up in a golf cart and give you a quick tour. The island is beautiful. The beach is excellent. If you can splurge, definitely get a beach-facing room, it’ll make all the difference and you won’t regret it, the ocean and beach is what makes this place. Service is terrific. Food is great. The Beach Club is a highlight because of it being by the water. Definitely have breakfast there and not the main house (no real ocean view, but option to sit inside). The sushi restaurant (expensive) is delicious and nice to try out once if you stay longer. They offer a lot of fun activities. The tennis coaches are awesome and very reasonable priced. And every morning they offer free snorkeling which is fun. Now, the only minus: The rooms overall. They’re fine but not on par with what you’d expect. They’re simply outdated by now. Departure is well planned. Golf cart to small departure lounge. Flight back. And you can hang out at their Manila lounge until 6 pm and they give you a ride to the main terminal. It’s worth staying at their lounge for as long as you can given Manila airport craziness (and lack of any great lounges). You’ll have a wonderful time!
