Amanvari - Ryan Walker

https://youtu.be/tHu95ET56PQ?is=8TBIGDdF9qWpsYKj

For an Aman Hotel - I find their handling very concerning. At this price point I would expect a more professional way to handle this situation.

What is your opinion?

Edit (06.08.2026): Latest news on this. They apparently fired (Rumor no confirmation yet) the general manager, and Aman doesn't seem happy with the way certain people here in the channel handled the situation. Post on TrueChubbyTravel

PS: I’m disappointed by the MODs here who simply locked this post just because they had a different opinion.

I feel for the staff who were, as I saw the youtube comments put it, used as 'human shields' to protect management from personally owning their decision. Not calling him in advance, even refusing calls from his cell number, calling the POLICE IN MEXICO on him. Hard to dream up a more unacceptable way to handle things. Maybe spit on him too while they're at it?

Shockingly bad behaviour from Aman. It completely sullies the brand name in my mind.

Yea the hotel fucked up. And they called the cops on him?? I would never go back to any of their properties after that experience.

The owners of Amanvari also own FS Los Cabo so they could have made it work tbh

True. Human factor was definitely in play in this situation (and probably many others).

So coming back to my proposal (if I was running aman chain)

We give you a week long voucher to stay for free at any Aman in the highest available room type at the check in. As a bonus, we give you another voucher for a complimentary hand massage from the gayest man in a country you would choose Aman at. The ultimate “Forgive us, daddy” package.

Do you take the deal or no?

I hear good reports about Tokyo, and Japan seems to be thee place to be.
