Fine and eloquent comeback, Jess. And, on some level, I agree with you. Unfortunately, Bali and the rest of Indo is suffering from terrible economic conditions. A one night stay at the Amans represents two years wages to many Balinese and they have become painfully aware of the disparity between East vs. West in recent years. Back to your original questions. The Amans are quite nice...I think you will like them. Be sure to at least poke your head into the two Four Seasons Resorts in Bali when your out wandering those dingy streets. Met a man recently...very wealthy, owned a private island in the Phillipines...etc. He was at Amankila and had a friend of mine who works in Public Relations at The Four Seasons arrange transportation for him to leave Amankila for the Four Seasons. He claims there is no comparison between the two. I have stayed at the Four Seasons and found it to be Heaven on earth. O.K....that's my 2 cents.
