About the Hotel
Each elegant Aman Resort welcomes a distinctive clientele. Amanpulo, on its own private island just an hourâ€(TM)s flight southwest from Manila, is a sun-kissed retreat for true beach lovers. Part of the Cuyo Archipelago, northeast of Palawan Island, guests arrive by private plane to the island’s own airstrip. Each of the expansive Villas and the 42 beachfront, treetop and hillside Casitas, reflect their island home both inside and out. Pamper yourself at the Spa set on a hillside above the treetops designed as a tranquil sanctuary. Enjoy cuisine featuring locally-caught seafood and island-grown vegetables and herbs on the menu. Dishes can be centered around ingredients that guests pick themselves from the island’s organic garden.

Beautiful But Lacks Facilities For Kids
Amanpulo was absolutely beautiful. The service from the moment you arrive at the Amanpulo hanger in Manila to the moment you depart was outstanding. The beach was beautiful and calm with lovely soft sand which was perfect for our 6 year old and 2 year old. The food at all restaurants was great although we did find the breakfast menu to be a little dull after 6 nights on the island. We booked the 1 bedroom beach casita which had a large private pool and plenty of space in the casita for the 4 of us. We had direct access to the beach which was fantastic. Our butler Renato and his team were wonderful. All of our requests were met, our room was always tidy with fresh towels and the gardens were immaculate. Our private chef made us some delicious in villa meals as well. I would say the only downside of the stay was the lack of facilities for children. The kids club was a small room with a mat in the center with a few toys and books along with a small outdoor area. They offered a few activities a day but they weren't terribly exciting. Aman promotes itself as a luxury resort and when I compare it to other luxury resorts we have stayed at (eg Soneva Jani, Maldives and Kokomo Private Island Fiji) it fails to keep the kids entertained. The island is expensive but for anyone who has read reviews, it won't be a surprise when you arrive. If you go with children make sure to try the go-karting on the runway. Our son absolutely loved it!!!

Amanpulo- great beaches, great people
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!

Amazing Experience
When we arrived we were greeted by our butlers. They were fantastic. They were there to assist with anything we needed at any time. far exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a two bedroom villa with another couple. The size of the property was more than we had expected. Very beautiful and very private. Our chef - WOW - he cooked the most amazing dinners for us. We had a pig roast on the beach one night that I would highly recommend. We also ate dinner at all of the restaurants. A special callout to Ian at the Lagoon Club. He went above and beyond. The beach is AMAZING. It is one of the finest beaches I have ever been on. Rarely did we see anyone there. I brought rafts to float in the water - and every one an then a turtle would pop up.. just incredible. It is definately a long trip from the US, but it worth it.

Perfect Island
This is a stunning island with one of the most beautiful beaches and water anywhere in the world - personally I think better than the Maldives, Seychelles, Mozambique. The staff and the service is faultless throughout so your experience on the island is exclusive and private. We were particularly well served by Jesie, our butler, who was charming and discreet and helpful although we were pretty self contained guests. Ian at the Lagoon Club made our stay particularly enjoyable. He was incredibly attentive and professional - a genuine enthusiast for his job and for the Aman brand. The villas are very well appointed and well designed but not as spectacular as some of the other Aman properties we have been to or private island villas in North Island or Miavana for example. We moved from Villa 6 which was unrenovated and felt very tired (noisy air conditioning etc) to a refurbished villa which was much better and closer to what would expect for the price point. The move was handled swiftly and efficiently. Villas are spacious with large pools and very private. Some of the outdoor furniture has seen slightly better days and the equipment in the very well appointed and spacious gym is not the most up to date but, - again, this is in comparison with other Aman’s - Management curiously absent. We met no one from senior management in 12 days but we didn’t really need to I guess and wasn’t a major issue. Overall we will definitely return. This is is an incredibly well run property on a spectacular island with
