We
moved
from
a
hotel
in
Quy
Nhon
city
to
the
Avani
Quy
Nhon
and
stayed
four
nights.
We
considered
the
adjoining
sister
property,
the
Anantara,
but
the
rate
at
the
Avani
was
simply
too
good.
The
location
is
remote
—
about
a
20-minute
USD
$12
taxi
ride
from
Quy
Nhon
proper.
But
the
setting
is
beautiful,
sitting
as
it
does
on
a
small
picturesque
private
beach,
separated
from
a
public
beach
on
one
end
and
a
larger,
beautiful
stretch
of
white
sand
beach
on
the
other,
both
easily
accessible.
A
rustic,
working
fishing
village
sits
off
the
public
beach
and
straddles
the
small
peninsula.
It’s
insightful
to
visit,
but
the
tightly
packed,
open
homes
mean
tourists
need
to
be
hyper-considerate
of
the
local
residents.
Between
the
couple
of
tourist
restaurants
fronting
the
fishing
village
and
the
excellent
food
at
the
Avani
and
Anantara,
there
are
plenty
of
options
for
a
several-night
stay.
The
Avani
itself
is
a
bit
of
a
contradiction.
The
management
and
standards
are
nearly
five-star
—
the
same
team
manages
both
the
upper-tier
Anantara
and
the
family-focused
Avani.
The
spacious
rooms
are
exceptionally
well
maintained:
walls,
furniture,
and
soft
goods
are
clean
and
undamaged
and
the
cushions
stain-free.
But
the
physical
structure
is
in
serious
need
of
capital
investment.
The
lobby
and
common
areas
have
a
timeless
architecture,
but
the
interior
design
is
dated
and
all
the
flooring
well
worn.
The
roof
is
covered
with
plastic
sheets
and
sandbags
against
the
rain,
the
outdoor
pavers
are
a
mess,
the
outdoor
furniture
is
aging,
and
the
children’s
outdoor
play
area,
though
thoughtful,
is
low-budget.
The
hallways
outside
of
the
rooms
are
kept
clean,
but
they’re
in
need
of
refurbishing,
especially
replacement
of
the
painted
concrete
pathways.
Who
paints
concrete
walkways?
We
were
told,
though,
that
ownership
is
aware
of
the
property’s
needs
and
have
plans
to
repair
the
roof,
at
least.
For
ourselves,
we
won’t
stay
at
this
property
again
unless
it’s
seriously
renovated.
Instead,
we’ll
stay
next
door
at
the
Anantara;
it’s
much
newer
and
immaculate.
But
the
difference
in
room
rate
means
it’s
not
an
option
for
many
considering
the
Avani.
That
said,
don’t
be
afraid
of
staying
here
a
few
days.
You’ll
get
quality
service,
a
fine
in-room
experience,
good
food,
and
a
peaceful
beach
at
your
doorstep.
