World-class service
      We believe we create world-class experiences,
      but don’t just take our word for it listen to what our client have to say...

                                                            “From the hotel, quality of pitches, level of service from AM Sports,
                                                             proximity of the hotel to Oriam - we have been overwhelmed!
                                                            The competition has been spot on and has been a lovely blend,
                                                             which has challenged our boys in many different ways. I cannot
                                                             speak highly enough of the tournament. We would be delighted
                                                             to return and we are looking forward to that opportunity.”

     “The Oriam is excellent. From the moment we arrived it was clear it
      was going to be well organised. We are lucky enough to be invited
      to many tournaments and this one is very special. The hotel is
      outstanding, which you can see by the surroundings and facilities.
      AM Sports have been excellent from the moment we arrived,
      communication of the schedule, smooth transport to and from the
      Oriam - fantastic! The level of the tournament, facilities, hotel and
      service - it’s something we would definitely like to come back to.”
