Well, This place is amazing. The rooms, the cafe, the pool, the beach. Everything!!
We had a superior garden view room which was at the end and hence long walk from room to beachside. The reception is in the building near beach while most rooms (apart from beach view) are across the road. Not too bad as it seems, both sides have separate pools.
I thought insects and bugs would bother us due to the area and some reviews, but inside room it was okay, though spotted a mosquito and ants in bath tub. Corridor have few insects at night near light.
This place has one of the worst service for a four star chain hotel. I called reception, asked for slippers, the lady said okay will be there. 45 minutes, Nothing. Called again and said ive been waiting, can i get slippers. we do have slippers, just sending it, she replied. But well, nothing, they never came.
Again during checkout I asked for a cart to take us to reception along with our luggage. No one came for 20 minutes and we were getting late for flight so dragged the suitcases all the way to reception. No one even took our luggage to taxi.
There is Amaya food gallery. The food is great and breakfast is awesome as well.
Amari is the place to be but be ready to experience not so special treatment.
