a charming stay!

great curryattentive staffprivate dinnermetal wall

the staff were attentive! i loved the curry which was great. the team organized everything to perfection! i really recommend the private dinner on the beach if you get a chance. the chef even met me to ask about my preferences.

A corrugated metal wall was right by my suite. this did spoil the view somewhat. i feel that this needs addressing.
