lush grounds and commendable service

ample space lush greenery private gardens
The hotel features ample space with lush greenery. sea facing villas offer spacious interiors along with private gardens. i enjoyed morning walks along the pathway adjacent to the sea. The fresh, breezy atmosphere was good. the staff displayed consistent courtesy. diksha from the reception team fulfilled my requests and secured a villa with optimal views. surprises were arranged for my wedding anniversary. mr ashok from the inter hotel shuttle team and mr ajay from housekeeping contributed to my comfort.
the premium cottage i booked felt somewhat small. the size was less than expected.

The breakfast included a good combination of different cuisines. I found that acceptable.
the bathroom was small. the beach chairs were not comfortable and there were not enough of them. swimming was not advisable because the sea had dangerous jellyfish.
