Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay overall, especially enjoying the spacious and clean bungalow I stayed in. The location on the hilltop offered breathtaking views of the sea, and the Ayurvedic treatments and yoga classes were top-notch. However, I faced a disappointing experience with food options, particularly for vegetarians, which could be improved.
I had a wonderful two-day stay at this hotel, surrounded by stunning views of the Arabic Sea and beautiful gardens. The rooms were spacious and stylish, perfect for relaxation. The dining experience was excellent with various tasty local and European dishes. However, the sight of the rubbish behind the property detracted from the overall experience, and there’s a need for better beach maintenance.
Our stay had moments of brightness, especially the wonderful swimming pool and lovely grounds. However, we faced significant issues at check-in, with maintenance problems in our room and a disappointing dining experience, particularly with breakfast not ready when we needed it. Overall, it feels like there are some fundamental improvements needed for a fully enjoyable visit.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff seemed welcoming and the gardens were lovely, the overall service was sadly lacking. The room was definitely not worth the price we paid, with poorly maintained amenities and a lack of support from staff. It was disappointing, especially compared to visits I've had in the past.
I had a memorable stay with wonderful views and great amenities. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff was attentive. Though the beach access was challenging and not the best, the lovely gardens and pools made up for it. I appreciated the value for our stay, especially with the good food options available.
The hotel has a beautiful property that's well-maintained and the rooms are clean. However, the dining options are severely limited, especially for vegetarians, and the service leaves a lot to be desired. Accessing different areas of the resort can be a hassle due to its size, and my experience with the kitchen access was particularly frustrating.
I had a mixed experience at the resort. While the food and chef’s team were fantastic, the service from some staff was lacking, and the main pool was under renovation without prior notice. The accommodation, though upscale, needed maintenance and the overall service was not up to par with my expectations.
This resort offers a beautiful and relaxing experience with cottages on a hillock and stunning sea views. The attentive staff made our stay all the more enjoyable, as they were accommodating and helpful throughout. However, local transport options were limited, which made getting around a bit challenging. While the dinner was delightful, I was slightly disappointed with the breakfast offerings.
