I had a wonderful stay at the resort, where my room was spacious and kept spotlessly clean, which was a great start to my day. The Ayurvedic treatments were quite enjoyable, although I noticed some parts of the service were a bit slow. The location is just a short stroll from a beautiful beach, perfect for a relaxing day. While the breakfast was overall tasty, I did wish for more variety, especially some fresh fruit. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience with great value for the price I paid.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and inviting, but I did have an unexpected visitor—a lizard on my table. The service was a highlight, with very polite staff who were helpful throughout my stay. However, the dining options were quite limited, especially if you're not a fan of South Indian cuisine. The location offered a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for relaxation, yet still conveniently close to local attractions.
