Amanzoe

除了餐飲，都完美

Hôtel unique perdu dans le Péloponnèse Les pavillons sont magnifiques, spacieux et superbement entretenus avec une salle de bain de rêve. Les parties communes sont d une beauté exceptionnelle et la bibliothèque est une endroit magique Le spa est très beau, peut être la partie la moins impressionnante mais toujours impeccable avec des soins de très très bonne qualité Le beach club est tres beau, la plage calme avec des très belles piscines si l eau de la mer est trop froide Les restaurants sont très bien aussi, peut être un peu cher ou peut être pas assez raffinés… mais au final le goût et le choix sont là. Le personnel est très attentif à votre bien être et très à l écoute. Le servie en chambre est super efficace. Très belle balade en vélo, ne pas hésiter à en faire une ou deux. Dès que mes finances me le permettront je reviendrai dans ce superbe hôtel, certainement le meilleur que j ai fait en Europe. Ne pas hésiter à venir fin avril ou mai c est très calme.

Many will know that the luxury-hotel-loving world divides into two groups: Amanjunkies who love every aspect of these hotels and the rest of us. As a sybaritic traveler who always turns left on planes and generally only stays in hotel suites, I have tried to love them and there are aspects of these hotels which are exceptional but I am going to weigh in here about why Amanzoe left us a bit cold. So starting with strengths: This resort is stunningly beautiful. I took many photos and especially enjoyed views from the outdoor breakfast table. There are a handful of public rooms in free-standing buildings around the ornamental pond including the cathedral-like library. That is beautifully designed and the interior is very high quality but would you want to read a book in there? Probably not (more of this later). The Villas: There are no bad rooms. All accommodation is villa-style and, other than the larger properties on site, it is only location that influences the price. These are well-appointed provided you like that rather Spartan style (of course that is very appropriate when on the Peloponnese!). I did note that the bathroom blind was crooked and the daily snacks were not usually topped up so there were a few misses on detail but the villa was spacious and comfortable, even though the desk was very tight to do any work. I liked that the bathroom had two showers and toilets. The open wardrobes separated these so the dressing areas was very close to the bath. We had poor weather for part of our stay and the patio roof leaked so the loungers and the outdoor chairs got very wet – another miss on detail – so when the sun came out you couldn’t use them. Staff are very conscientious and sweet. I especially liked the breakfast crew and the beach staff. The Beach club. Although the “beach” is nothing of the sort – there is nowhere to walk and it has imported sand - it had WiFi, fantastic service with individual sun cream bottles supplied and your beach towels were rearranged if you vacated the lounger for lunch. So, there is a much to like BUT This place is so deathly dull, dull, and almost churchlike in its quietness everywhere (apart from the beach). Every public room you enter (like the library or the bar) you are usually the only guest and if there are others they do tend to be squirreled away in another corner. Also the food is NOT good. You are stuck in this resort – it’s not near any other villages with good restaurants - so you end up eating there every evening. Breakfast is by far the best meal of the day. There is a very poor Japanese restaurant. The place you have breakfast turns into a different restaurant in the evening and I preferred this to the Japanese, though the meals were nothing to rave about. In each of my 3 stays at Amans this has been a prevailing weakness. Maybe the fans value the silence much more than cuisine? I am more extrovert and enjoy chatting to people sometimes and like a good meal! In fact we did meet a charming c
