Amanpulo was just as advertised. Pristine beaches, wonderfully appointed rooms, very attentive staff and management. Each casita is perfectly placed to provide you with total privacy. Your lounge chairs are positioned on the beach to give you the feeling that you are the only person the beach. The two pools are beautiful, the food was quite good and there were multiple restaurants to choose from. The island is small and Amanpulo is the only resort on it. You get a buggy upon arrival so you can go when you please rather than calling for a ride. The staff was extremely polite and attentive. They did their best to accommodate your every desire. They take the time to memorize your face and name before you arrive so you don't need to give them your room number or name to book anything. Initially it caught me off guard, but I quickly was assimilated. The staff is very warm and friendly. We felt like a part of the Amanpulo family whilst we were there. Jessica, David and Mabel were the best! It is a long flight from Los Angeles, but well worth it. We will be back!
