Amanyara

Question? is this property worth the price? It is soculdied, isolated and beautiful. The noise is minimal, the atmosphere is serine. If you need or want a peace of mind to recover for every day life. The food is ok (the red snapper and sushi is amazing) That staff are delightful and kind, appreciative for you being there. Why a 4 star? need more actives and interactions.

We had the most glorious and relaxing time here. The resort was perfect in every way for us. Quiet, secluded, stunning, great service, and we stayed in the most gorgeous glass pavilion room with an insane view of the ocean. Resort architecture is next level. No duking it out for pool and beach chairs. The most beautiful beach with lots of complimentary ocean fun (snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding). Spa was gorgeous and massage was incredible. Gym was big and had everything we needed. Loved riding bikes to get everywhere. Everyone who worked there was so lovely and accommodating. It was my birthday and they went out of their way to make it special. We’ve stayed in many luxury Caribbean resorts and this was next level. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Delta is once again flying non-stop to Turks & Caicos from Detroit and we were so excited to try out Amanyara. Although the most expensive resort we have ever stayed at, it was a special celebration for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It turned out to be just that, although the worst experience instead of the best. After reading all the negative reviews on TA and Google, I had my agent send them to the resort. My agent expressed that we were not going to accept anything less than 100% luxury and pampering. We were assured that would be the case. It turned out that all the negative reviews were spot on. And I am suggesting to you that if you are reading my review and planning on going, cancel your reservation ASAP and book elsewhere. Unless of course, you are an influencer or spend your time on your cell 24/7 which most of the guests were. In less than 12 hours on the property, here is my short list: Villa 128, $5500 +28% Overlooks ocean, two lounge chairs. No WIFI by lounge chairs. Area not lighted at night so cannot use it No ice in room No outdoor shower in villa Not asked times for housekeeping Bikes not assigned, went to beach club and it was taken No signage for spa, gym, lobby anywhere on roads. Very confusing layout, easy to get lost and I did. No lights at night along path, must take golf carts everywhere Gym has a shower, no dryer or amenities Spa has no locker rooms There is no adult pool Main pool not lighted at sunset Beach club outdoor showers: No hot water, conditioner or towels. I was told they close at 5:00 Beach club restaurant: Wine 6x cost, average cocktail $35 plus all taxes. Small garden salad $28, average pizza $35, $71 for 7 oz. Yellowtail, no ahi available even though their fine dining restaurant features sushi. Employees not overly happy and know most of these concerns but nothing is ever done about them. Plus side: Well equipped gym Nice lounge areas Absolutely worse than all the above were the worms on the bed and floor. So gross and disgusting. And the bugs here are out of control especially if it rains. Upon arrival, there was not a single manager welcoming us, this knowing in advance our expectations. Bottom line: Just don't go. After seeing the prices in the restaurants, you will want to hop over to Grace Bay and eat at any other restaurant but alas, they charge $500 RT for taxi service so even that isn't an option.

Best hotel in the Caribbean. Great rooms all glass with amazing ocean views. Butler’s amazing and super attentive and anticipate the needs of the guests. Spa massages are the best. Beautiful tennis courts and great tennis pro. One night surprised us with a beautiful private dinner on the bluff near the ocean with large bonfire, food is great and has dramatically improved over the years, I do wish they would go back to larger bathtubs so can take a couples bath. They changed them to very small ones a few years ago. Overall we love Amanyara and can’t wait to go back in February. Recommend the resort highly as the best in the Caribbean.

Amanyara in Turks and Caicos is undeniably one of the most beautiful and serene resorts in the Caribbean. Situated on the pristine shores of Providenciales, the resort offers an exclusive, luxury experience that feels like a secluded paradise. The architectural design blends modern elegance with the natural surroundings, providing breathtaking ocean views and an immediate sense of tranquility upon arrival. It’s clear why Amanyara is considered one of the top resorts in the region. Check-in was smooth and personalized, handled in-room rather than in the lobby—a thoughtful touch that made us feel valued from the start. The staff at Amanyara are genuinely attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. Every request was handled with care, and on the rare occasion there was a minor slip-up, the manager personally came to apologize. This level of service is exactly what one would expect from a five-star property, and it’s clear the staff takes great pride in making guests feel welcomed and cared for. However, while Amanyara certainly deserves its five-star reputation, it’s crucial to weigh the value relative to the price. With an average ADR of $2,800 per night for a basic room, the resort sets a high bar for guest expectations. For me, price alone isn’t the determining factor for satisfaction—I’ve enjoyed $200-per-night hotels that exceeded my expectations and have also found value in resorts priced at $10,000 per night. But as prices increase, so does the property’s responsibility to justify every dollar spent. When a resort charges such a premium rate for its most basic accommodations, it inherently brings added scrutiny and expectations for a flawless experience in every detail. Upon entering our pavilion, we noticed a musky, smoky odor in the room. Though we mentioned this to the check-in staff, they denied noticing any smell, despite having placed an air purifier in the room, which seemed to indicate awareness of the issue. Given the hotel’s low occupancy, a simple room change would have been appropriate. Being left in a room with an odor fell short of what I’d expect for such a high-end property. In terms of cleanliness, the resort appeared spotless at first glance, but closer inspection revealed some missed details. The small beach area, though beautiful, had litter like bottles and wrappers that detracted from the pristine environment. For a resort of this caliber, cleaning the beachfront daily should be standard. In our bathroom, the shower initially seemed clean, but closing the door revealed areas that had been overlooked. These small issues are forgivable at a budget property but feel out of place here, where flawless attention to detail is expected. The ambiance of Amanyara is idyllic, and the sense of peace it provides is remarkable. However, the lack of adequate lighting and signage at night made navigating the pathways challenging. Additional lighting or signs would improve the nighttime experience. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was the bed. The mattress felt like it belonged in a motel rather than a high-end resort, being lumpy and uncomfortable, which impacted my sleep. For a luxury property, especially at this price point, comfort is paramount, and a quality mattress is essential. Upgrading the beds would make a significant difference. Bottom Line: If you decide to stay at Amanyara—and it’s one of the nicest resorts in the Caribbean, perfect for an exclusive, peaceful escape—just be aware of these minor imperfections. Knowing about them in advance allows you to set realistic expectations and focus on the incredible aspects of this resort: the stunning location, beautiful architecture, and warm, dedicated staff. The worst part of any luxury stay is expecting a flawless, world-class experience and feeling let down by small details. With these insights, you’ll be prepared to fully enjoy all that Amanyara has to offer. Final Verdict: Amanyara is a visually striking, secluded resort ideal for unwinding in an exotic, tranquil setting with top-notch service. While some areas could benefit from more attention to detail to truly match the premium pricing, it’s still an exceptional place to relax and recharge. With balanced expectations, Amanyara will leave you with lasting memories of a unique luxury experience in the beautiful Turks and Caicos.
