Really good Service and Beachfront Bliss
really good servicedelicious foodfriendly stafflimited sun loungers
The staff demonstrated really good service . Benisha particularly stood out. She remembered us and suggested dishes (always with a smile). Lalith at reception also. The food was delicious, notably the biriyani, flavorful with chicken pieces and cashews.
The limited number of sun loungers around the pool presented a challenge. Half of these loungers remained shaded until late afternoon, restricting sunbathing opportunities.
Facilities

The gym includes three treadmills and two stationary bikes to support your exercise routine. There are also twenty loungers situated around the pool area, providing ample space for relaxation and sunbathing (pool towels are readily available, too).
