"Amanyara is, without question, the most exceptional place to stay in Turks and Caicos. From the moment you arrive, everything feels serene, refined, and incredibly special. The property is breathtaking, blending beautifully into its natural surroundings, and the attention to detail and level of service are outstanding. Excellent service!! Its secluded location is part of what makes it so unique. This is a place you come to truly disconnect, stay on property, be pampered, and enjoy the experience. The beach is gorgeous—pristine, peaceful, and wonderful for swimming. My only regret was not staying longer. Amanyara is truly in a league of its own, and I cannot wait to return."

"We were excited to spend our anniversary in your hotel, but unfortunately it did not reach our expectations at all. We paid for expedited service at the airport which wasn’t just overpriced, but completely unnecessary. As we were staying in a 5 star hotel, we assumed that there would be a luxury car picking us up and knowing when we were arriving, should have been waiting for us. We waited about 15 minutes outside in the heat to be picked up in a regular car. The rooms are super expensive, and small compared to the other Amans. They are also infested with bugs! The food was not great and very expensive. The staff at the beach club were very rude. I’ve stayed in many beautiful hotels over the years, and this one was quite disappointing. On our return home, we also paid a very high fee for “VIP” service, where we had to carry our own bags, and got to sit in a pathetic looking lounge. Again totally not worth the price we paid for this VERY expensive vacation. I will not be recommending this hotel."

"Having stayed at Amans across Asia and Europe we were excited but this location did not meet expectations. The hotel was crowded and noisy - making us wonder what happened to the serenity of the Amans we preciously enjoyed. The service was even worse - when we checked in, we were told we could not book the day beds at the pool because they were first come, first served. When we went to the pool- even though all of the beds were empty we were told we could not use them because they were reserved for a large corporate event - the staff explained that while we could not book the beds as guests - they were willing to reserve them for large groups - even though no one from the group was at the pool and the beds sat empty. The food at the pool and the Japanese/asian restaurant was great - but the Italian restaurant tasted as if the salt shaker had fallen into the dish. While there were a couple of wait staff who were exceptional - all in all, I would not recommend. If you’re looking for a luxury vacation in Turks - visit Parrot Cay - much better experience."

"We had a terrific long weekend at Amanyara. Our villa was secluded and beautiful. The common area was spacious and well equipped. The private infinity pool was warm and the tranquil views looked over a small waterway/lake that felt more like a nature reserve than a resort. The outdoor shower was a favorite. Oscar was more than accommodating. The whole resort feels private. Though it was at full capacity we didn’t see many other people most days. If you are a fan of people watching on vacay - this place might disappoint. Breakfast in the main restaurant was delicious and had a wide variety of choices. Good lunch at Beach Club - the pizza and Greek salad were fresh and delicious. We had our final dinner in the villa - the homemade Thai cuisine was at the top of the best we’ve had. The beach was beautiful. Water looks fake it’s so clean and blue. Pics don’t do it justice. No issues getting chaise chairs and towels. Sunscreen and aloe are available at the beach entrance. We loved riding the bikes and took the golf cart out a few times too. We had some rain and there were large golf umbrellas available everywhere. Tennis and pickle courts, gym and Pilates studio were all top notch. The only complaint was that the snorkeling boat left without us despite arriving to the meeting spot a few mins early. Must have been a miscommunication between Oscar and the crew but they couldn’t explain why they left. Unfortunately we never got to go due to our schedule. Overall a magical place. Highly recommend for a tranquil retreat."

"Amanyara is considered a 5 star property. Pros: -Beautiful grounds/aesthetics -Nice secluded & private beach -Bicycles & golf carts available to drive you around Cons: Food, Food, and Food! Unless you want sushi every night or mediocre Italian those are your only options. It's very limited, not creative and average at its best. If your foodie this is NOT for you Off the beat and path: this resort is about 30 minutes from Grace Bay and the airport touristy area. To get here you literally travel down a road for the second half of the trip which is treacherous. You will need a high jeep or truck to get through it. Crater holes and rough off road type terrain for at least 18 minutes. Not lit, and very dangerous at night. So if you're looking to get out at night or find better food, it was hell getting back in the dark on roads like this. It's completely off road driving. No joke! If you stay at the resort you're marooned. Unless you rent a jeep (we did) or pay 500-800 round trip for a car service! Crazy crazy. Expensive: at least 3000+ per night and to me barely worth $500 per night Service: folks are friendly for sure. However, if you're accustomed to service like the Four Seasons, Ritz or Belmond I believe you will be disappointed. I felt like when we asked you were accommodated (like asking for a menu on the beach), but it wasn't offered. Beach service limited Other: Flies every where! Leaving the resort is discouraged, because it's literally getting shaken baby syndrome from the ride in and out. This is not the Aman standard at its best."
