This is a one of a kind resort and an experience in itself. I stayed with my family in premier room (sea view) and the view from the room was breathtaking. Since the property is on a cliff, you can enjoy the view of the sea from virtually every part of the property. The rooms, amenities, hospitality and overall experience is top notch. They also have a private entrance to the beach area and their tides restaurant is on the beach. I availed the hitea on tides and found the experience quite underwhelming as the staff was not attentive. Apart from that their dinner buffet is good but nothing special (based on my experience of veg food in the buffet). Overall, a great property and a must visit for every nature lover.
