Amanyara

Best hotel in the Caribbean. Great rooms all glass with amazing ocean views. Butler’s amazing and super attentive and anticipate the needs of the guests. Spa massages are the best. Beautiful tennis courts and great tennis pro. One night surprised us with a beautiful private dinner on the bluff near the ocean with large bonfire, food is great and has dramatically improved over the years, I do wish they would go back to larger bathtubs so can take a couples bath. They changed them to very small ones a few years ago. Overall we love Amanyara and can’t wait to go back in February. Recommend the resort highly as the best in the Caribbean.

Question? is this property worth the price? It is soculdied, isolated and beautiful. The noise is minimal, the atmosphere is serine. If you need or want a peace of mind to recover for every day life. The food is ok (the red snapper and sushi is amazing) That staff are delightful and kind, appreciative for you being there. Why a 4 star? need more actives and interactions.

The hotel itself was very nice and secluded. All of the staff members were very helpful except for one worker at the beach who was very rude. The chairs at the beach are very far away from the bar and the waiters at the beach do not come up to your section to see if you need any drinks or food so be prepared to stand up and walk to get their attention. Most high end hotels I've been to would normally have someone checking in on each group every so often to refill drinks/food. This was a huge turn off. Getting off hotel and getting a taxi is very expensive (around $500 roundtrip) so be prepared to spend and arm and a leg if you want to explore. Rooms are quite far from the front entrance, restaurants, and lobby. They provide bicycles that you can use to get to your room, or you can request for a golf cart to pick you up and drop you off to your room or pick you up. Food is very expensive at the hotel which is kind of expected. Fruit bowl is $32 and a 6" avocado toast is $36. A 6oz Fresh juice is $16. We spent roughly $200 each morning for breakfast after the 28% tax. Because the hotel is in a secluded area, with nature, there are insects all over the rooms. Expect to get bit by mosquistos daily and nightly while sleeping. Total we spent was around $20,000 for 3 nights not including off resort activities. Theres better places in the world that you can go thats more worth the money spent. Overall experience was 2/5.

Delta is once again flying non-stop to Turks & Caicos from Detroit and we were so excited to try out Amanyara. Although the most expensive resort we have ever stayed at, it was a special celebration for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It turned out to be just that, although the worst experience instead of the best. After reading all the negative reviews on TA and Google, I had my agent send them to Dusan, the resort manager. My agent expressed that we were not going to accept anything less than 100% luxury and pampering. We were assured that would be the case. It turned out that all the negative reviews were spot on. And I am suggesting to you that if you are reading my review and planning on going, cancel your reservation ASAP and book elsewhere (I strongly recommend The Shore Club, you can read my review to see why). Unless of course, you are an influencer or spend your time on your cell 24/7 which most of the guests were. In less than 12 hours on the property, here is my short list: Villa 128, $5500 +28% Overlooks ocean, two lounge chairs. No WIFI by lounge chairs. Area not lighted at night so cannot use it No ice in room No outdoor shower in villa Not asked times for housekeeping Bikes not assigned, went to beach club and it was taken No signage for spa, gym, lobby anywhere on roads. Very confusing layout, easy to get lost and I did. No lights at night along path, must take golf carts everywhere Gym has a shower, no dryer or amenities Spa has no locker rooms There is no adult pool Main pool not lighted at sunset Beach club outdoor showers: No hot water, conditioner or towels. I was told they close at 5:00 Beach club restaurant: Wine 6x cost, average cocktail $35 plus all taxes. Small garden salad $28, average pizza $35, $71 for 7 oz. Yellowtail, no ahi available even though their fine dining restaurant features sushi. Employees not overly happy and know most of these concerns but nothing is ever done about them. Plus side: Well equipped gym Nice lounge areas Absolutely worse than all the above were the worms on the bed and floor. So gross and disgusting. And the bugs here are out of control especially if it rains. Aman sent me a survey and I gave them the same info I am giving you, my loyal TA reader. Shockingly, corporate never responded back to me and guess who did? Yes, Dusan. Here is her response which is so typical: "Dear Mr. Gaynor, We are very grateful for the time taken to review Amanyara. I am saddened to see that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion. I apologize for not having had the opportunity to meet you in person, as I was away from the property, but our management team has shared your detailed feedback with me. It is always our goal to provide our guests with an exceptional experience, and we regret that we fell short in your case. Should you wish to discuss your experience in more detail, please see my email address provided below." Kind regards, Dusan Domazetovic Resort Manager Upon arrival,

My friends and I had a fantastic dinner at the bar, thanks to Winnie, the Beverage Manager, who made our experience exceptional. Her outstanding customer service truly reflects her dedication to her role. She recommended pizza for the night, and even though I'm not usually a pizza fan, it was absolutely out of this world! The chef, Clovis (I hope I spelled that right), crafted something unforgettable. If you're ever in Turks and Caicos, you have to try his pizza—nothing compares. We’ll definitely be returning for another slice and to enjoy the amazing service from everyone we met that evening, including Conrad, Urie, and David at the bar. You all made us feel at home and are fantastic bartenders. See you soon!

Omg this is a must have, if you are on Providenciales and looking for the best pizza try getting a reservation at Amanya ask for your pizza to be done by Clovis, we had a pepperoni pizza it was so good we had to order a second one, we tried the margarita and it didn’t disappoint.
