It's a nice and quiet place with friendly staff all around. This review is based on a stay in a one bedroom pool villa, which is a huge room for 2 adults. Here, you'll wake up to the sound of birds chirping instead of motorcycles and horns. With the mosquitoes flying around trying to feast on your blood, you might want to keep the doors to your bedroom closed as much as possible. The place does try to make up for it by providing some insect repellents like a mosquito coil, as well as a repellent using natural oils to spray on your skin. The gym has a decent variety of machines, however there's only 1 of each. So if you are intending to have a run on the treadmill with your partner, you can't do that here. Within the property, there's a communal laundry area which provides complimentary detergent, washer and dryer for guests to use from 9am to 9pm. Water pumps for the private pools are automatically switched on in the morning till evening. If you intend to have a midnight dip in the pool, you'd have to give a call to the staff and they'll gladly help you turn on the pumps for water circulation. Unless you're like a mosquito that enjoys stagnant water, then I guess you can just head right in to your private pool. If you're a light sleeper and you're not intending to wake up early in the morning at around 6am, you'll have to close all the curtains/blinds, including the roller blind in the bathroom by the bathtub. I failed to do this and as the bathroom door was translucent, the sunlight flowed in to the bathroom from the huge window by the bathtub and I was awoken to the bathroom door looking like it was a light source on its own in an otherwise dark bedroom. The bathroom fittings and some other furniture are surely not new but they do the work, so if you're looking for a shiny new water tap or wooden furniture with no scratches or signs of use when booking an accommodation, you might want to consider just heading to your nearest furniture store instead. The kitchen has a microwave, rice cooker, fridge and freezer, kettle, cutlery and utensils, an induction hob, some pots and pans, plates, cups and glasses. All these provided, but will you really be cooking though. Well, it's an option if you want. The property has shuttle services to the beach, but I didn't take one so I can't comment on that. For any spa booked with the property, Avani will arrange for a complimentary shuttle to their sister property, Anantara Vacation Club, where you'll get your spa treatment. Once done with your spa, you can request for a shuttle back to Avani, which is also complimentary, or just choose to head out from there. In conclusion, I enjoyed it and would stay here again.
