Amanvari, new ultraluxury hotel in the Cabo area

[+ azdr0710]

at US$6000+/night, it's among the most expensive hotels in the world.....they apparently have had construction delays and staffing trouble......it's part of the Aman chain, but I don't know if this one is company-owned or if the name is licensed/franchised........the "opening" was just a couple days ago and it's not going well.......youtube travel writer Ryan Walker, who has a good rep for luxury travel reporting (but, admittedly, is still an influencer who needs clicks), had a strange experience yesterday or the day before trying to check in.....the hotel cancelled his long-held reservation via email late in the evening prior to his check-in day.....he apparently didn't even see the email until looking later after being turned away......it's likely the very new hotel was in no physical state to welcome a hotel reviewer and, so, cancelled him.......hotel staff seemed confused and discourteous.....comments, as usual, are pointed and honest.......

That's amazing.  AMAZING.  Not because they were fancy, but because I enjoyed their aesthetic, locations, and approach,  I stayed at many Amans in the years before they were $1000s/night, and while I know there has been lots of discussion about how much the brand has changed in the last 10+ years, after some buyout or something like that, for any hotel at any price-point, for any business at all, to be stupid enough to do this to someone with an iPhone and an internet connection, so to anyone, much less a confirmed guest, is unbelievable stupid.  WOW.
