The hotel had winding paths surrounded by trees. It reminded me of a true escape. I enjoyed the buggy services. They shuttled me across the estate. The breakfast was palatable and met expectations for a five-star hotel.
The gym seemed a bit outdated, but I made it work.

A Reasonable Stay

lush greeneryknowledgeable driverstired roomdirty glasses
The hotel had lush greenery that created a relaxed atmosphere. The Bait restaurant provided nice seafood. The location near the beach was great for lunch. I must say the drivers, Rajesh, Vishnu and Aravind, were a real help for my day trips around the area. Their knowledge was really appreciated.
My room looked tired. Management admitted a substantial refurbishment across the hotel was needed. Dirty glasses remained in the room for two days. I had to ask for them to be removed. Pool tiles were also losing their tiles, and the pool beds looked quite old.

I was a bit disappointed with the service. It wasn't up to par with other hotels I've stayed at. The staff seemed stretched thin. Getting a simple request fulfilled took longer than expected! the upkeep of the hotel could be better. I noticed some wear and tear in the common areas, like chipped paint and cracked tiles. It detracted from the overall ambiance.

I was impressed by the efficient, warm welcome. The accommodation was clean. I also appreciated the nice ambience in the reception area and bar. Staff members were always friendly and smiling.
I noticed rooms have steep steps for access, particularly the suites. This could be a challenge with mobility issues. Perhaps clearer information or alternative routes could be provided.
