comfortable seatingcash paymentscrispy pranthas
The beach was quite nice. It offered comfortable seating.
The resort didn't accept cash payments at any outlet, so I had to walk to the main reception each time to clear bills. Apply:. I found this inconvenient. Pranthas weren't crispy. I had to send them back. I had to tell the tandoori person to not be so nervous and make them crispy.
