I stayed over the Chinese New Year period at this beautiful resort. Really loved the stay there. The architecture of the place is simply stunning. It is designed to complement that of the Borobudur and did a great job with that. The surrounding Menoreh hills makes a beaultiful backdrop to the resort. Views of the padi fields and Borobudur in the distance can be seen from many areas of the resort. If you can afford it, do go for the borobudur or borobudur pool suite as it would really made your stay even more special. The suites are really spacious and beautifully designed. Beds are soft and comfortable for a good night's sleep. I also loved the spacious outdoor sunken bathtub.


My stay was made even more memorable by the outstanding services provided by the guest assistants in particular Nining and Fenny. They have gone all out to meet our requests and answered our queries, to the extent of anticipating our needs. Nining especially has been very helpful when we wanted to buy some local Indonesian snacks to bring home. They really have the "Whateve/Whenever" service that W hotel has oversold but failed to deliver. I asked if what time the pool closes and whether i can still swim at 10pm, they said it closes at 6pm but i can still swim anytime i want and they will arrange for pool towels for me. I asked what is the earliest time i want to have my breakfast and they said anytime up to me. I am really impressed!

Having stayed at W hotel and the like, none of their services can compare to that of aman resort.

The breakfast is quite good with a decent selection and quite tasty too. Loved the Mee Goreng.

I also liked the daily afternoon activities that they organised free for the guests such as Cooking lessons, pottery lessons, etc. They also served afternoon tea at the same time.

I will certainly return to this resort and I am already looking forward to my next stay there in future.

Having stopped over in Singapore, this was our first hotel on our honeymoon in Indonesia. What an incredible start! We were expressed through customs at Solo (a huge plus given how long we waited to get into Indonesia on an earlier trip to Bali) and were delivered a couple of hours later at the stunning Amanjiwo.

This is more of an experience than a hotel. Incredible architecture, beautiful rooms, food and service with a very personal touch. Not cheap but, in my opinion, worth every Rupiah. The whole place is extremely peaceful and the view of Borobudur in the distance takes your breath away.

The hotel seems to be very in touch with its community with lots of interesting cultural excursions both locally and to some of the incredible temples nearby.

One tip - if you are flying in or out of Yogyakarta, you could always combine a visit to the Prambanan temple precinct on your way in or out of the hotel (although probably not if you are embarking/disembarking on a long haul trip). The precinct is amazing and don't miss the buddhist temple area as well as the hindu one (a lot of people do and while it was equally beautiful it was virtually empty).

We just spent 4 nights in Amanjiwo. From the minute you arrive at the airport to the minute you are chauffeur driven to your departure flight the staff are friendly, efficient and extremely helpful. The hotel is about an hour away from Yogyakarta airport, but you have sufficient yummy snacks in the car.

The entrance of the hotel is unique. You drive down the driveway and look through the lobby entrance to a view of the Borobudur Temple in the distance. The freshly brewed ginger beer is a great welcome drink.

We stayed in a pool suite and could have easily have spent the entire 4 days in the room swimming and napping in the incredibly comfy bed. We decided to be more active in the mornings as it rained in the afternoon- which was the perfect excuse to be lazy!

Definitely do the Borobudur Sunrise trip. Luckily we were still suffering from jetlag so we were up before 4am anyway. Do the intellectual tour at the same time if possible. We also did a market tour and a walk through the rice fields. Our guide Diddit is very knowledgeable on Javanese and Indonesian history and culture and we learnt a lot and enjoyed our trips with him.

All staff members are extremely friendly. Mark, the GM, gave us some great tips for the next two Aman hotels we are staying at and got us hooked on the idea of an Aman trip to Bhutan!

Would definitely recommend a stay here. Be sure to leave some time to relax in the room and definitely try the Indonesian meal at dinner (although I would recommend sharing as it is quite a lot for one person)

With out a doubt some of the most romantic and adventurous days of my life. The hotel is perfect. Everything was perfect. I dream of going there again with my husband.
