I had a fantastic experience at this resort with attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. The beach area is beautiful, though the dining experience left a little to be desired. Overall, it's a great place for relaxation, but some aspects of the rooms need improvement to match the resort's otherwise charming vibe.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. The beach was lovely and the Ayurvedic treatments were good value. However, I faced issues at check-in and with pool restrictions that were quite frustrating. While the staff was generally helpful, the dining options could use more variety, especially for breakfast. Overall, it has potential but needs improvements in management and services to truly shine.

I had a wonderful experience at this resort, enjoying the beautiful private beach and the relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and clean, though they could use a bit of modernization. The restaurant offered a variety of tasty dishes, making every meal enjoyable. The staff were friendly and attentive. However, the noise from a nearby party hall during the night was a downside.
