Excellent Stay with Attentive Service

gluten allergyseamless stayingredient questionarchery lessons
I appreciated the staff's attentiveness, especially regarding my gluten allergy. The grand indian restaurant offered excellent food. Executive assistant Tharushi ensured a seamless stay. She sorted out any issues and helped organize our trip. I was thankful to chefs Pasupathy and Pradeepkumar who patiently answered questions regarding ingredients at the dosa station. Archery lessons from Anushka and rifle shooting lessons from Nishantha enhanced my stay.
I noticed a few minor maintenance issues in some public areas, but these were quickly addressed upon reporting them.
