serene beachfront escape
quiet locationhelpful staffgood breakfastbar tab
i appreciated the quiet location a short distance from town. the sea view was fine and the staff were very helpful. breakfast had many choices and was of good quality. the price i paid reflected the value of the amenities and services provided.
There was an issue with the bar tab that required multiple attempts to resolve. Ultimately, this resulted in unnecessary disturbance and delay.

indian oceangorgeous roomlaundry servicebar tabstaff behavioraggressive banging
The hotel had a lovely view of the Indian Ocean from my room. I had the King Room Sea View. It was gorgeous. The Cinnamon Spa provided the BEST massage. I was also very satisfied with the laundry service.
The bar tab had an issue and it was not handled well. I tried to settle the bill before it went to the front desk. The staff woke us up late at night. They said that the tab was wrong and continued to bang aggressively on the door.
