Amanera Playa Grande is a joke. Don’t waist your money. Took a special flight to view the project. No more tables for potencial clients in the restaurant amymore.This tells a lot. Incompetente at the “highest” level. Not willing to buy in this project anymore.

Pros: Exotic Location Privacy : Few guests Beautiful Beach Friendly staff Beautiful Architecture of hotel Well maintained villas Cons: Limited Food Variety [ Just 1 full time restaurant. 2nd Restaurant is open for limited time and days ] Low quality hotel toiletries Ambiguous billing. No Cabanas on the Beach. Spa-Massage staff cut short the promised duration of the Massage. Even though there were no other next scheduled appointment. Wild ferocious dogs on other side of beach - very unsafe. Conclusion: Compared to the other similar Luxury High-end hotels we have stayed in, Amanera did not deliver the expected standard of service and experience.

We are the so called "Amanjunkies" and have visited more than 15 Aman Resorts around the world. Amanera is one of the best Aman Resorts for anyone to experience. The staff is amazing and super friendly, catering to everything we can dream of. This is done in the most Aman way, subtle and elegant. Thank you to the whole Amanera team for this most special experience.

The area is rugged and natural, definitely feel like away from everything. The lobby building is very big, lots of space, tall and open air, minimalist. There is a lot of staff who are all very friendly. The casitas are as expected for Aman, clean, unobtrusive aesthetics, very big. The outdoor spaces are very big too and a nice place to relax and enjoy the surroundings and oceanview. Beach club is awesome aerying. Quiet beach, big tall ceiling, open space. Breakfast at lobby building is good, beach club food is ok. Main reason for coming this way was to play golf at Playa Grande. The relationship b/w Aman and Playa Grande is confusing but hotel provides transpo to golf. Meals at Playa Grande venues were very good and contrast to quieter, elegant setting at the hotel. The gym at hotel has regular weights and cardio stuff and battle ropes, tires, TRX , rower on the patio. There is a yoga stretching platform out on the field. Nice place to chill out but not a lot to do around the area, a couple days visit was good for a weekend golf trip.

We picked amanera as our honeymoon destination… emailed them in advance to let them know and to inquire if we could have a specific casita. While the property wasn’t even at 50% capacity they didn’t attempt at all. We loved the property and the friendly staff. The food was okay in the main restaurant and much better at the beach club. I am disappointed at the management for not even doing anything special even tho they knew it was a honeymoon and a special celebration. There was no extraordinary welcome or at turndown anything special. What really bothered me is that we did a lot of the excursions and they really nickel and dime you …. A ceviche class gets 18% service fee and the gratuity added to it since it was hosted at the beach club kitchen. I would definitely not recommend doing their excursions as I feel like that’s where they really just stack it on. Also the package included all meals and they also don’t take into consideration the concept of not nickel and dimming there… when guests stay 5 nights have some common sense and definitely don’t make them feel they are okay getting taken advantage of... I would love to see if any of the other Aman resorts are similar or not?
