Aman resorts really don't belong in a place like Nusa Dua, which is dominated by huge hotels from the international chains. At Amanusa, they try to bridge the gap between their high end, small resorts and the big chain environment of Nusa Dua, but it doesn't really work. It's the largest Aman I've been too, and also the emptiest. In fact, I think we were the only guests. It's got great facilities, especially a well designed pool. But it's on a golf course, which to me screams out suburbia and I don't understand the appeal at all. Of course, Somchai begs to differ, since he lives for golf, and in fact that's what he did every day. There's also a nice beach, but it's a buggy ride away and you can't see it from the villa, which I don't like. And the staff acted like they worked at a big resort. Usually at Aman you get to know all the staff, who are very friendly and personable. Here, they seem to have given up trying to get to know you since it's a larger hotel, but again, we were the only guests so it couldn't be that difficult to remember us. So after three days here, it's a bit disconcerting to be greeted with blank faces as though it's the first time we've met.
