Reviews and Ratings
We had an amazing time at the resort, surrounded by lush greenery and enjoyed the excellent food. The rooms were spacious and kept very clean, providing a comfortable stay. Beach access was a significant plus, but we did notice quite a few mosquitoes, so bringing repellent is essential. Overall, the experience was memorable, and we would definitely consider returning.
I had an amazing experience at the resort! The beach view was breathtaking, and it was such a relaxing place to hang out with friends. The outdoor games and indoor facilities were a bonus, making our stay so much fun. However, I wish I had booked a sea-facing room in advance as we had to settle for a more mediocre option this time around.
This resort is a true gem for beach lovers, with private beach access that is clean and beautiful. The stay was quite enjoyable, thanks to the helpful staff, particularly Mr. Karthik and Mr. Anand, who made sure all our needs were met. The food was tasty, although some aspects of the service could use improvement, like room cleaning consistency. The location provides a tranquil escape, but challenges with transportation might arise if you're relying on ride-sharing services.
I had a peaceful and comfortable stay at the resort. The spacious rooms and attentive staff made the experience enjoyable. However, I faced some issues with room assignments and dining service, especially during peak times. It's a great spot for family gatherings or weddings, but be aware that weekends might get a bit hectic.
I stayed at the resort for a long weekend and had mixed feelings about the experience. While the property has nice beach access and beautiful gardens, the cleanliness and maintenance of the rooms left much to be desired. The food options were decent but overpriced, and the service was quite poor overall. If you're looking for a well-maintained place, you might want to consider other options.
