We went to Avani+ Fares for the last week of October 2026 for our 20th wedding anniversary - me, my wife, and our 2 teenagers (boy 14 and girl 16) - and it was an experience we will never forget. A Special Thank You to Nisso A special note for Nisso who was our allocated host. She was absolutely amazing. Her communication was perfect - buggy pick ups within minutes, arranging spa, restaurant reservations, tips for how to spend our day, the list is endless. She was so lovely and genuinely helped make our experience unforgettable. The resort is lucky to have her. The Island, Beach & Sea The weather was beautiful throughout the whole week. The way the sand feels, how the sea water feels on your skin, so refreshing/ relaxing. The sea is so beautiful we took endless pictures which we will treasure for a lifetime. Waking up in the morning in our Beachfront Pavilion to the sound of the sea is inexplainable in words. Watching the sharks after a lovely evening meal was so nice. Snorkelling & Wildlife We had never done snorkelling in our life before, but we did here and all I can say is it's like something out of a movie. The amount of fish, the clarity, the beauty. We saw turtles, we saw manta rays, sharks - all near our house reef without going on a separate excursion! Around the island itself we saw fruit bats, cute little lizards, and hundreds of hermit crabs everywhere which were so cool. Restaurants & Food The staff were extremely friendly at all the restaurants. They would offer different selections even if it's not on the menu, they would ask after everything and do everything as quick as possible. Their breakfasts were brilliant, huge selection. The selection of restaurants provide food types for everyone. We ate at the Charcoal a la carte once and it wasn't really for us, but it provides a different experience and taste for others so we respect that. Activities We went kayaking as well which was so good. The steam room and sauna experience was amazing and refreshing daily. We spent days in front of the pool and would go for walks at the beach. Perfect balance of relaxing and doing things. Our Room - Beachfront Pavilion The rooms had everything you need covered. Room cleaning was great, twice a day. My only minor comment / improvement for the rooms is that they don't really provide too much wardrobe space - possibly because many people don't stay too long per stay? But that's honestly the only improvement I would suggest. Overall We were there for a week and for us as a family it was the best holiday we have ever experienced. The people were amazing and friendly throughout. The only bad point I have now is that this holiday has now set such a high bar for our future holdiays! Thank you Avani+ Fares for the memories of a lifetime. Ahmet & Family

We really enjoyed this hotel! We especially liked the cleanliness of the rooms, the delicious food and the beautiful sea. We came with a child and she really enjoyed the Kids Club! We recommend this hotel for families with children. Also, the staff was very friendly. Thank you very much to Nisso, she was always in touch and helped us. In general, I want to visit this hotel again!
