The Avani hotel is a nice hotel with friendly employees, who make an effort to make your stay comfortable. The riverside next to the hotel, however, is quite littered with bottles and other house hold trash - which is sad to see. Maybe the hotel could clean their side (together with Anantara).
We enjoyed the view from the hotel and pool, but the drinks at the pool are quite overpriced for the low quality you get. Also, it was a pity that Avani offers food and drinks on the first floor, which unlogically are not allowed to be eaten or drunk at the pool side (employee told us).
