I had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The room was spacious and well-maintained, offering beautiful sea views. I enjoyed a delicious breakfast daily and loved the pool area. The location was great, only a short walk through the forest to the beach.

The cleanliness throughout was truly impressive, with the staff consistently ensuring that the facilities, including the well-kept swimming pools, remained pristine. The highlight of my visit, however, was the exceptional hospitality from the staff, especially the wonderful assistance I received from Shruthi at the reception and Vishnu in the restaurant.
