Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

Very laid back, with attentive staff. Beautiful facilities and equipment from natural materials (no plastic windows or plastic tables/chairs).

This was unbelievable! The end of the rain season and the hotel had just finished renovations so only six guests in total. The property is in superb condition and the service was always impeccable. I never tried to stay in a place that seemed to get cleaned every time we left the room. The location is also perfect if you want peace and privacy. Along the beach it's a bit of a walk towards Paje but that means the solicitors don't drift that far and basically had a mile of white sand all to ourselves. The food was great too but if I was to suggest any improvements it would just to offer more variety through the week, though I understand that the limited number of rooms also means a limit to how much variety is possible.

Sehr schönes, kleines, gepflegtes Boutique Hotel mit lediglich 14 Doppelzimmer. Die Anlage ist sehr sauber und wird regelmäßig gepflegt. Der Privatstrand ist geräumig, es gibt immer genug freie Liegen inkl. Sonnenschirm. Der Pool ist klein aber fein. Das Personal überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Hotel liegt sehr ruhig und etwas abseits; die Ruhe wird ein wenig gestört von Bauarbeiten nebenan. Der Strand an sich ist traumhaft; puderweicher weißer Sand, ausgiebige Standspaziergänge bieten sich an. Das Wasser hingegen ist leider kaum zu gebrauchen, da ziemlich voll mit Meeralgen. Hier muss man einige Meter weiter Richtung Paje laufen, wo das Wasser wesentlich schöner ist. Leider keine Gastronomie in direkter Nähe, viel mehr müssen etwa 15-20 Minuten Fußweg Richtung Paje absolviert werden, wo die Auswahl sehr gut ist. Das Essen im Hotel ist solide. Das Frühstück glänzt beispielsweise mit exzellenten frischen Säften und Obst, gleichwohl ist die Auswahl etwas überschaubar. Frisch zubereiteten Kaffee aus einer Baristamaschine gibt es leider nicht, was man in dieser Preiskategorie durchaus erwarten könnte. Das Abendessen gibt es a la carte, 1-2x in der Woche gibt es Buffet. Bei längerem Aufenthalt als einer Woche wiederholt es sich leider. Die Qualität ist ok mit Luft nach oben, generell darf man auf der Insel nicht die ganz große Küche erwarten. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner, entspannender Aufenthalt. Klare Empfehlung!

We had an amazing stay at the Amani! The hotel is a perfect place for an adults-only, quiet, relaxing stay. The location was a bit outside of Paje (20 minute walk along the beach), and there were limited options for dining because of the location, but dinner is included so that meant we had a quiet, delicious dinner every night. The view of the pool, grounds, and beautiful beach were beautiful. There were lounges chairs on the beach and pool and enough for every guest - a first for us! The only downside was the large construction project next door. It didn't really affect us, but we talked to several guests who were placed in rooms with a view of the construction and a jack hammer pounding all day long. They were equally frustrated that they had not been informed in advance. Also, the hotel lists itself as a 5-star hotel. It is not, though it is certainly very nice. What really sets the Amani apart is the incredible staff. We felt pampered as if we were in a typical 5-star hotel. In particular, Hamad helped us unwind and relax from the moment we arrived until we left; Alfred was amazing with his attentiveness and constant joy; Robert never stopped anticipating what we might want or need next. We highly recommend this hotel, though you'd probably want to check in advance to make sure you have a room that is not facing the project next door (it looks like many months of work left ahead). Thank you Amani team for a wonderful 8 days! We can wait to return.

Everything about the Hotel was Great. It is very well Managed and the Staff are absolutely perfect. Our room 8 was exactly as we expected and we loved it. We needed this holiday as we are recovering from a house fire at home in Spain that completely burnt out our house. So this was the perfect opportunity for us to relax by the sea. Food was very good both at dinner and breakfast. There is a small Spa and the massage therapist excellent.

Unfortunatelly there are building works on the ajacent site that rather spoilt the last couple of days. Initially it was just hammering and much of the sound was lost in the wind. However, once the rock breaking equipment started the noise was a distraction. This site is in the early stages of construction and will unfortunately continue to give rise to building noise. That said there is not much the Hotel can do other than pre warn future guests that there are construction works in progress.

Ein wirklich kleines, aber richtig tolles Hotel mit Niveau. Hier wird alles getan, dass man sich wohl fühlt! Es gibt nichts zu meckern.

Superb, and the staff were excellent!

Air conditioning in our first room was ineffective, and we eventually got moved to another room. After that, everything was great.

Nydelig hotell og fantastisk service. Middagene var også super bra. Stranden er ikke den beste rett utenfor hotellet. Man må gå ca 5 min for å komme til nydelig sandstrand. Men hvis man ønsker en rolig ferie er dette stedet perfekt. Ca 20 min å gå inn ti Paja hvor det er mer liv og restauranter.

Amazing staff made our 5 night stay special! Food was delicious and this small, boutique resort was intimate yet private. Very clean and serene environment. Most comfortable beach loungers I’ve ever had!
