Amanyara

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.

We had the most glorious and relaxing time here. The resort was perfect in every way for us. Quiet, secluded, stunning, great service, and we stayed in the most gorgeous glass pavilion room with an insane view of the ocean. Resort architecture is next level. No duking it out for pool and beach chairs. The most beautiful beach with lots of complimentary ocean fun (snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding). Spa was gorgeous and massage was incredible. Gym was big and had everything we needed. Loved riding bikes to get everywhere. Everyone who worked there was so lovely and accommodating. It was my birthday and they went out of their way to make it special. We’ve stayed in many luxury Caribbean resorts and this was next level. Would come back in a heartbeat.

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 the resort. 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. 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. Upon arrival, there was not a single manager welcoming us, this knowing in advance our expectations. Bottom line: Just don't go. After seeing the prices in the restaurants, you will want to hop over to Grace Bay and eat at any other restaurant but alas, they charge $500 RT for taxi service so even that isn't an option.

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,

Amanyara in Turks and Caicos is undeniably one of the most beautiful and serene resorts in the Caribbean. Situated on the pristine shores of Providenciales, the resort offers an exclusive, luxury experience that feels like a secluded paradise. The architectural design blends modern elegance with the natural surroundings, providing breathtaking ocean views and an immediate sense of tranquility upon arrival. It’s clear why Amanyara is considered one of the top resorts in the region. Check-in was smooth and personalized, handled in-room rather than in the lobby—a thoughtful touch that made us feel valued from the start. The staff at Amanyara are genuinely attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. Every request was handled with care, and on the rare occasion there was a minor slip-up, the manager personally came to apologize. This level of service is exactly what one would expect from a five-star property, and it’s clear the staff takes great pride in making guests feel welcomed and cared for. However, while Amanyara certainly deserves its five-star reputation, it’s crucial to weigh the value relative to the price. With an average ADR of $2,800 per night for a basic room, the resort sets a high bar for guest expectations. For me, price alone isn’t the determining factor for satisfaction—I’ve enjoyed $200-per-night hotels that exceeded my expectations and have also found value in resorts priced at $10,000 per night. But as prices increase, so does the property’s responsibility to justify every dollar spent. When a resort charges such a premium rate for its most basic accommodations, it inherently brings added scrutiny and expectations for a flawless experience in every detail. Upon entering our pavilion, we noticed a musky, smoky odor in the room. Though we mentioned this to the check-in staff, they denied noticing any smell, despite having placed an air purifier in the room, which seemed to indicate awareness of the issue. Given the hotel’s low occupancy, a simple room change would have been appropriate. Being left in a room with an odor fell short of what I’d expect for such a high-end property. In terms of cleanliness, the resort appeared spotless at first glance, but closer inspection revealed some missed details. The small beach area, though beautiful, had litter like bottles and wrappers that detracted from the pristine environment. For a resort of this caliber, cleaning the beachfront daily should be standard. In our bathroom, the shower initially seemed clean, but closing the door revealed areas that had been overlooked. These small issues are forgivable at a budget property but feel out of place here, where flawless attention to detail is expected. The ambiance of Amanyara is idyllic, and the sense of peace it provides is remarkable. However, the lack of adequate lighting and signage at night made navigating the pathways challenging. Additional lighting or signs would improve the nighttime experience. Unfortunately, t

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!
