Well Legolas, I think that Amandil indeed did reach Aman, and there he pleaded with Manwe to save the men of Numenor. Manwe ignored his pleas but did agree to at least save the Faithfull.
But still Amandil had ignored the Ban of the Valar and thus was not allowed to remain in Aman.
PS. This post is somewhat contradictory to my earlier post but after thinking it over I reached this conclusion.
