We stayed at Avyanna for 5 days in early January and had the best time! We were in touch with Vidura even before we reached and he was extremely helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the view was spectacular! Everybody at the front desk and all other hotel staff was super friendly and helpful. They helped us find the right tours we needed and get to the local islands as well. Special shout out to Vidura for coming to pick us up late from one of the other islands we were at one of the days. The breakfast at the hotel was super tasty and we really really enjoyed ourselves. The hotel staff even helped decorate our hotel room and they went over and beyond!! (see the picture below!) Still in love with what they managed to do! Local island is super cute and has great vibes! Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and hopefully we can come back again!
