I had a pleasant stay overall; the hotel has a lovely, quiet atmosphere with beautiful surroundings. The rooms were quite spacious and comfortable, but I noticed they weren't perfectly clean upon arrival. The staff was genuinely attentive and could not have been nicer. Though dining could be improved with more diverse options, the amenities were satisfactory, offering good value for money.

I had a mixed experience at the resort spa. On one hand, the location is quite lovely with a beautiful beach within walking distance, and the rooms are clean and comfortable considering the price. However, I found the service to be top-notch with an incredibly helpful staff. On the downside, the dining options were somewhat limited, especially at breakfast. Overall, it's a decent place for a relaxing getaway, but there's definitely room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort spa. The rooms were not just clean but also incredibly spacious, making it feel like a true getaway. The staff stood out, especially Shameer and Biju, who were always ready to help. However, the breakfast options were somewhat limited, which was a bit disappointing. The beach, just a short walk away, was beautiful and added to the overall experience.

I had a pleasant stay at the resort spa, where the rooms were clean and comfortable with some need for freshening up. The service was exceptional with staff always available to assist, and the peaceful location added to the overall relaxing experience. However, the breakfast options could use a bit more variety, and the dining setup left something to be desired. Overall, it provided good value for what I paid.

The resort has a lovely atmosphere with beautiful views of the garden and pool. The rooms were spacious but needed a bit more attention to cleanliness, and I did notice some small pest issues. The service was excellent and the staff was truly willing to help in any circumstances, which made my stay more pleasant. However, I feel the breakfast options could use more variety to really elevate the experience.
