The housekeeping team ensured the room (indulgence villa room plunge pool king bed) was always super clean. the f&b quality was really good, with many delicious options. i especially appreciated the friendly staff at the beach. They were very attentive. ms. deeksha was always available and ready to assist guests, a invaluable asset to the team.
I experienced a slight delay when checking out. I was bothered about clearing bills when i was about to sit in cab. it could have been informed in my room at 10 pm when i had called for faster check out at midnight. otherwise, everything was perfect.
