Excellent Stay by the Lake

serene environment spacious villa attentive staff

The resort offered a serene environment with well kept grounds and lush greenery. The premium lake view villa had a spacious layout with a courtyard garden and balcony (it was perfect for morning yoga). The staff were very attentive, offering quick service and catering to requirements efficiently.

The walkway to the dining hall was a bit dark at night. Better lighting would improve safety.
