Overall, my stay at the hotel was very good and I was satisfied with the service. The staff was friendly and everything was well organized. However, there were a couple of issues that I would like to mention. The Wi-Fi connection in the room was very weak, which made it difficult to use the internet properly. Additionally, I was not allowed to use the refrigerator in the room, which was quite inconvenient and unexpected. Aside from these points, everything else was great. Thank you for your service.

We stayed at the basic villa for three nights. Overall the experience was good but when you're paying such a high price then want everything to be perfect. The drains were blocked and I complained about that too but it would wasted my time if i had waited for the plumber to come and fix it. The villa itself is a great option but then you need to call a car to rush for breakfast and dinners and sometimes they take time. We had young kids so the villa wasnt the best option for us perhaps. In the breakfast and dinner options, they usually repeat the menu... and its very indian oriented. You feel like ure visiting Goa, India

Very poor service. The suit room with a broken AC!! Many people were complaining the service and the response was very low by the staff. There wasn’t any support for any request. Even the staff gave wrong information about the dinner food. I don’t recommend this hotel at all. It’s aw waste of money and time. The customer is their last thing to think about.

Good resort. One major problem with safe box in each room is not safe. You can re-open it with the code 000000 regardless of the code you configure it with. When I complained about it to the reception, the told me that they know about the issue and nothing they can do about it. That was shocking to me.
