Backed by jungle, fronted by a sweep of Atlantic Ocean, Amanera enjoys a panoramic clifftop perch on the Dominican Republic’s pristine north coast beaches. Set above the celebrated golden sands of Playa Grande, the resort offers unparalleled access to water sports and back-to-nature experiences, infused with the spice and flavor of Dominican life. Amanera’s luxury Casitas dot the lush Playa Grande coastline with unobstructed ocean views. Overhanging eaves shade expansive terraces with outdoor dining and lounging areas, while inside, the floor-to-ceiling glass doors lead to rooms specially positioned to maximize views.

We came here for our anniversary and it is one of the best decisions we’ve made. We’ve stayed at luxury hotels before but this is its own level- everything is so well thought out, the service was very friendly, the cleanliness spectacular, the food out of this world. We had a complimentary casita upgrade, beach dinner, little gifts and treats every night. We felt like celebrities. It’s worth every penny. I’d like to return here with our kids next time. I’ve no negatives except one that is not in the hotel staff’s control- the beach here is beautiful but kind of violent- full disclosure I can’t swim but even my husband who does- the sound and view of it is spectacular though.

Amanera Playa Grande is a joke. Don’t waist your money. Took a special flight to view the project. No more tables for potencial clients in the restaurant amymore.This tells a lot. Incompetente at the “highest” level. Not willing to buy in this project anymore.

Pros: Exotic Location Privacy : Few guests Beautiful Beach Friendly staff Beautiful Architecture of hotel Well maintained villas Cons: Limited Food Variety [ Just 1 full time restaurant. 2nd Restaurant is open for limited time and days ] Low quality hotel toiletries Ambiguous billing. No Cabanas on the Beach. Spa-Massage staff cut short the promised duration of the Massage. Even though there were no other next scheduled appointment. Wild ferocious dogs on other side of beach - very unsafe. Conclusion: Compared to the other similar Luxury High-end hotels we have stayed in, Amanera did not deliver the expected standard of service and experience.

We are the so called "Amanjunkies" and have visited more than 15 Aman Resorts around the world. Amanera is one of the best Aman Resorts for anyone to experience. The staff is amazing and super friendly, catering to everything we can dream of. This is done in the most Aman way, subtle and elegant. Thank you to the whole Amanera team for this most special experience.

The area is rugged and natural, definitely feel like away from everything. The lobby building is very big, lots of space, tall and open air, minimalist. There is a lot of staff who are all very friendly. The casitas are as expected for Aman, clean, unobtrusive aesthetics, very big. The outdoor spaces are very big too and a nice place to relax and enjoy the surroundings and oceanview. Beach club is awesome aerying. Quiet beach, big tall ceiling, open space. Breakfast at lobby building is good, beach club food is ok. Main reason for coming this way was to play golf at Playa Grande. The relationship b/w Aman and Playa Grande is confusing but hotel provides transpo to golf. Meals at Playa Grande venues were very good and contrast to quieter, elegant setting at the hotel. The gym at hotel has regular weights and cardio stuff and battle ropes, tires, TRX , rower on the patio. There is a yoga stretching platform out on the field. Nice place to chill out but not a lot to do around the area, a couple days visit was good for a weekend golf trip.

We picked amanera as our honeymoon destination… emailed them in advance to let them know and to inquire if we could have a specific casita. While the property wasn’t even at 50% capacity they didn’t attempt at all. We loved the property and the friendly staff. The food was okay in the main restaurant and much better at the beach club. I am disappointed at the management for not even doing anything special even tho they knew it was a honeymoon and a special celebration. There was no extraordinary welcome or at turndown anything special. What really bothered me is that we did a lot of the excursions and they really nickel and dime you …. A ceviche class gets 18% service fee and the gratuity added to it since it was hosted at the beach club kitchen. I would definitely not recommend doing their excursions as I feel like that’s where they really just stack it on. Also the package included all meals and they also don’t take into consideration the concept of not nickel and dimming there… when guests stay 5 nights have some common sense and definitely don’t make them feel they are okay getting taken advantage of... I would love to see if any of the other Aman resorts are similar or not?

I've been here for a week with my adult daughter. This property is exquisite in every way. Within just a couple of days we were so relaxed - when elsewhere that process takes much longer. The people that work here are the happiest and most accommodating I've every experienced. The service is beyond your expectations. My daughter had her 25th birthday here and they made it so special in so many ways. I'm so grateful. I've been to many tropical beaches in my life but this is by far the most peaceful and beautiful. We rarely saw another person on a beach that is a mile long. The water is the most beautiful different colors of blue. We did several excursions while here: hike to nearby mountain top, snorkeling/cave tour, tour of the local cenote called Lagoon Dudu which was really fun, and deep sea fishing. We did not catch a fish that day but the staff on board was very professional and we enjoyed being out on the water. The rooms here are spectacular and beyond spacious to say the least, and very private. The main infinity pool over looks the ocean and is one of the most beautiful pools I've ever been in. We usually had it to ourselves. The food at the main restaurant and at the one by the beach is delicious. Ask for the in room dining menu if you want something simple. But it's Aman so you can just ask for what you want whether it's on the menu or not. And as usual for Aman properties there are no individual meal checks which I ADORE. Plus, we never had to make a reservation for any meal. Amangiri will remain my favorite Aman property but this one is a close second. Clearly the part of the island this property is on was specially selected for it's seclusion. It's very special! Thank you everyone at Amanera for a wonderful vacation!

Located in a secluded region of the DR with spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean from most of the property! We stayed 5 nights in spacious Casita 17 with floor to ceiling windows that allowed the exotic & lush landscape to become walls of art! Equipped with a separate seating & bath area, outdoor living area with private pool & outdoor shower, you won’t want to leave this magnificent venue where views of the Ocean are seen from the comfort of a luxurious kind size bed! Lighting, air conditioning & room darkening shades are controlled by smart home technology! Amenities included an array of local snacks, flat and sparkling water and each night a special treat highlighting examples of the unique culture as part of the educational offerings. We enjoyed working out with the instructors, learning to paddle-board and hiking through the neighboring jungle, tasting hand-picked fruit along the way! Finally, we cannot say enough about the exceptional staff which included Eric, Joma, Freddy, Leonardo, Maria, Carlos David, Daniel, Jazmin among others who anticipated our every need. Daily we were asked if we had everything we needed, and we even chatted with GM Larry before our departure. Given the elements, the property is in need of some maintenance & repair which was already planned shortly after our departure! We plan on returning, God-willing, very soon, and many times!
