When I chose Aana through Expedia, I had surveyed locations around the area by reading and researching. Aana delivered on all its promises. The setting is very rustic as the individual rooms are nestled among well established trees and shrubbery. There are flowers and flowering plants along with a variety of birds to complete the tropical feel. The design of this sprawling resort offers comfort, coziness, and isolation among closely located units. We choose a unit with its own plunge pool/jacuzzi. This is a wonderful treat. The intimacy and privacy offered with this amenity is well worth the additional price point. If you want a much larger version of a pool, there is one on the property. I mentioned the rustic feeling of the setting, and that is evident by the stressed wood that is used to build decking, walkways, etc.
Aana is a hidden gem with a charm all its own. There are nooks and crannies within the resort that are wonderful to discover.
The daily breakfast buffet offered an outstanding variety of fresh fruits, local and international dishes, and egg and local treats cooking stations.
The staff throughout the facility was always friendly, helpful, and extremely courteous.
Overall, Aana is clean and comfortable, if a bit slightly worn (our bed). Transportation in and around the facility is provided by local taxis (arranged by the front desk) into town, while a motorized flat or platform boat shuttles you to and from the nearby beach.
We plan to return!
