The Verdicts
Amanyara
Kerry Hill's architectural masterpiece delivers an undeniably stunning hard product — those soaring pavilions overlooking Northwest Point beach are among the most photogenic in the Caribbean. The 18,000-acre nature reserve setting creates genuine seclusion that money can't buy elsewhere in Turks and Caicos. But Amanyara suffers from a service culture that falls short of Aman standards, particularly compared to the brand's Asian properties. Local staff training remains inconsistent, with Turkish seasonal reinforcements often outperforming the permanent team. The dining is adequate but uninspired for this price point, and facilities like the gym feel dated. Still, for pure architectural beauty and that unparalleled sense of private sanctuary, few Caribbean resorts match this level of visual drama.
Aman Tokyo
Kerry Hill's architectural masterpiece creates Tokyo's most serene luxury refuge, with soaring 33rd-floor arrivals and rooms that feel like floating sanctuaries above the Imperial Gardens. The hard product is genuinely spectacular — among the largest hotel rooms in Tokyo with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the city like living art. Yet the service, while polite, lacks the intuitive anticipation that justifies the $3,000+ nightly rate. Staff frequently fail to recognize guests, and the concierge struggles with top-tier restaurant reservations that competitors handle effortlessly. It's undeniably beautiful, but Peninsula Tokyo delivers warmer hospitality for half the price.
