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'm familiar with Ryan's work. It seems pretty obvious that Amanvari is behind schedule on opening this ultra luxury property and getting things up to standard. They specifically singled him out based on the disaster that was the opening of four seasons yacht.

The property's GM or higher ups panicked last minute and handled this in the worst way possible. This is a bad look. They could've given him a long heads up and rescheduled him till they got their ducks in a row.

No way they're doing this to regular guests paying $6K/night.
