What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Amazing Pool Experience

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the swimming pool, which is a standout feature of this resort. The pool is well-maintained, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that guests could use it after hours. My child and I spent countless hours transitioning between the beach and the pool, making the most of our days in the sun. It's a perfect place to relax while listening to the waves! I appreciate the resort's flexibility in allowing us to enjoy the pool beyond the usual closing time.

Great On-Site Restaurant

The dining experience was quite enjoyable, especially with the amazing view from the restaurant. While I found the menu a bit pricey, the food quality was excellent. Breakfast included a selection of fresh fruits and Indian cuisines, which I appreciated as a nice balance. Though there could be some improvements in variety, the meals were surely satisfying. I enjoyed my dining moments by the beach.

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

Our room was spacious and airy, with a fantastic view of the sea from the balcony. The comfort of the large bed genuinely enhanced our stay, making it a cozy space to relax after beach outings. The bathroom amenities were also satisfactory, which added to my positive experience. I particularly enjoyed the sunsets from my balcony in the evenings!

Family-Friendly Facilities

As a parent, I was pleased with the child-friendly services offered at the resort. The staff went out of their way to assist my family, from providing pool towels to ensuring my mother had a wheelchair for support. Their attentiveness made our stay worry-free, and my child loved the access to both the beach and the pool, which kept them entertained throughout our visit.
