A truly charming Aman resort. The emerald-green infinity pool, its light green mosaic tiles gleaming in the light, is surrounded by turquoise parasols, wooden lounge chairs, and rustic stone paths. Beyond lies a tapestry of tropical rainforest, the wind rustling through the treetops, carrying a slightly damp yet refreshing scent. Inside, the high thatched roofs and dark wooden beams, along with vintage rattan chairs and round tables on the warm stone floors, and walls adorned with subtle plant patterns, create a serene atmosphere. Stepping outside reveals verdant greenery and a terrace. In the afternoon, one can relax with a cigar, watching the clouds drift among the palm trees, the smoke mingling with the mountain breeze, while nearby villagers work in the fields. The entire experience is a slow, peaceful retreat. In the morning, a guide leads you up the hillside, your feet sinking into the dew-kissed grass. Breakfast is already prepared in a bamboo basket, accompanied by a freshly brewed coffee. Sitting on the ground, the valley unfolds before you, bathed in sunlight. At night, the gym offers ample space for strength training with free weights and barbells. Small yet exquisite, everything is perfectly balanced.

Aman's service was truly exceptional. We originally planned to visit Bali during the Spring Festival holiday, but because we couldn't get our US visa and passport back in time, we arranged with the hotel to reschedule our trip to summer vacation. This season is actually the best for visiting Bali, with exceptionally pleasant weather. Our flight arrived a little after 7:00 AM, and the hotel is two hours from the airport. We arrived after 9:00 PM after our airport pickup. Since our reserved ocean view and pool suite wasn't available until 2:30 PM, the hotel arranged a garden suite for us. The room service was incredibly attentive. Although the hotel is nestled in the woods, it's practically mosquito-free. The private black sand beach is truly breathtaking. After checking out, we headed to the Suri Hotel, a two-hour drive. The hotel even provided a complimentary driver (honestly, given the hotel's remote location, shuttle service was crucial). The only downside was the single restaurant, which lacked a Chinese menu and staff, making it particularly unfriendly to Chinese people. (This was our third trip to Bali, and after staying in over a dozen hotels, this was the only one without Chinese service, despite the significant number of Chinese guests.) This is something we strongly recommend improving. The tuberose fragrance given at night was really nice, the bed was also very good, and I slept very well.

It is hard to imagine a hotel that costs RMB 30,000 per night.
I was scared to death by this hotel. I didn't sleep all night with my three-year-old child. I called the hotel front desk for four hours but no one answered. It was so hateful. When I needed help, no one answered the phone. I contacted the hotel front desk of the world's top luxury hotel but no one answered. I wanted to call the police but I thought it was better to have less trouble in Bali. Chinese people are really ripped off abroad. The hotel rooms are old and the same as those of Chinese three-star hotels. I posted it so that more Chinese customers can see it. Avoid danger and pitfalls

We have always been an avid traveller and we love five stars hotel. And this trip to Tokyo, we booked for the biggest Aman Suite at Aman Tokyo and we also booked for a few nights in Bvlgari Suite at Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo. However the price we paid for Aman is 380,000yen more than our suite in Bvlgari yet the services and experiences we get in Bvlgari is so much better. The staff generally speaks better English, and their butler are way more proactive and confident, perhaps due to language proficiency. Also at Bvlgari they serve daily evening refreshment which they do not have at Aman. Also the breakfast at Bvlgari is 24 hours so we do not have to worry about missing our breakfast hour. We also do not see a lot of differences between the suite type in Aman. Personally we wouldn’t recommend Aman Tokyo to anyone considering there are a lot of better options and five stars hotel around for the price we paid.

It’s a journey, not just a hotel. This was my biggest takeaway from my Aman experience.

Regarding the environment, it's elegant yet secluded, a dialogue between the architecture, interior, ancient town, and distant mountains, paying homage to Naxi culture and a thousand years of history.

As for the experience, both the service and the booked activities make you want to spend more time at the hotel. The pleasant surprise of a back entrance leading directly to Wenchang Palace and the ancient town perfectly illustrates the separation between bustle and tranquility.

Regarding the dining, the à la carte breakfast buffet and the yak hotpot for dinner reinforce the belief that Aman's taste is always exceptional.
