Un soggiorno in una struttura davvero magnifica, che si potrebbe migliorare un po'
Pros:

La posizione e la struttura sono davvero fantastici, ampio parcheggio gratuito compreso. Accoglienza da parte del personale alla reception ottima. Tanti servizi inclusi nella tariffa e spazi comuni davvero belli. Palestra piccola ma piacevole. Camere ben tenute e molto spaziose. Il lungo mare è semplicemente fantastico, ad uso esclusivo dell'hotel. Piscina in mezzo alle palme. Prezzi bassa stagione vantaggiosi. Ottima lavatrice a disposizione autonoma degli ospiti davvero molto apprezzata.

Cons:

Abbastanza delusi dal servizio di ristoro nell'hotel sia a cena che a colazione. Personale poco esperto e piatti davvero inusuali per un posto sul mare in mezzo alle isole Keys. L'aria condizionata mantenuta dentro alla struttura è davvero mortale, sopratutto nella hall dove il balzo tra fuori e dentro è devastante, infatti tutte le vetrate sono spesso appannate. La posizione è ottima ma ovviamente la strada principale è molto vicina e si sente un po'. Dei tanti servizi purtroppo per il brutto tempo non siamo riusciti a sfruttare molto. La camera che ci è stata data, nonostante l'hotel fosse mezzo vuoto era molto vicino ad una parte in cui affacciandosi sul balcone era pieno dei motori dei condizionatori molto rumorosi, si vedeva leggermente il mare ma impossibile stare fuori a causa del rumore e della vista sul tetto non piacevole.

Heaven on earth
Pros:

Everything! The moment you arrive all the staff around the entire resort are incredibly welcoming and pleasant. Check in was wonderful, felt like home Nomvelo was outstanding. Such a magical beautiful property. Beautiful beach access. Activities arranged by Nevana were wonderful. We went kayaking right outside our room near beach. Room and view was magical. We loved it and will be back.

Thank you for an amazing birthday weekend Amara and its staff! We will be back.
Pros:

This is our 1st stay staying at Amara for the weekend. The staff was very attentive and accommodating to our needs. The front desk manager, Nori, went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was pleasant. Todd from the Tiki bar was amazing! His service, personality and sense of humor were great. Barbie from the reel catch was amazing. She also went above and beyond to take care of us. We were a group of 13 staying for the weekend and everyone at the property was amazing.

Cons:

Property grounds were clean, beach was cleaned every morning, pool area was clean, restaurants and bathrooms were clean . The room that we had was very large but a bit outdated. From what I understand, The hotel group will be remodeling soon.
