Autumn vacation paradise with breathtaking views

I had an amazing stay with my family in the Avani Lagoon View Room. The buffet was a highlight, with a vast selection of delicious options and beautiful presentations that made every meal delightful. The pool area was fantastic for the kids, and the staff went out of their way to ensure our experience was perfect. I do wish the in-room decor felt more modern and fresh.

fresh fruits

Perfect for a Solo Traveler in Need of Relaxation

I had a good stay! Especially a gentleman named Mr Dinesh, provided great room service, going above and beyond to. Each morning, I'd return from my runs to find fresh fruits artistically arranged in my room.

It wasn't exactly a bargain, but the quality made it acceptable.

The buffet spread was a feast! I absolutely loved the creative salad presentations and the local breakfast that was both fresh and gentle on the palate. Plus, the pool was like a dream, making it hard to leave! 🍽️🏊‍♂️

Also, the room felt a tad dated, and that stagnant water feature? Not ideal for the mosquitoes! 😅
