Arrival at Amanpulo in the Philippines actually starts before you ever get there!!
You are taken on arrival at Manila airport to the private Aman lounge prior to boarding the hotels own private twin prop aircraft which flies you directly to the resort. That is some style!!
The first thing that happens on arrival is that you are given the grand tour of the resort, before being taken to your casitta/banda/villa.
We were lucky enough to have a beach casitta, which stood only a short path away from what was almost our own private beach, and what a beach. Imagine white talcum powder as far as the eye can sea, backed by the most beautiful shades of turquoise and pale blue and green sea. I thought Id seen the finest beaches in the world in the Seychelles not so!!
The casita has wall to wall windows, so the views of the water are absolutely spectacular.
There is a king sized bed, a huge bathroom with dressing area, separate shower and tub, all just A1.
Outside there is a large sun deck with two day beds and a hammock, and all totally private.
You can add to this the most exquisite cotton robe for lying around in, wonderful fluffy...
