Property itself is nice, food in restaurants is good. However, housekeeping and upkeep of rooms needs work. First room I was checked in to did not look like it was cleaned. Dirty sheets, pillows and towels. The furnishings in the rooms were falling apart.

Enjoyed the stay. We upgraded to suites and got access to royal club. The service at royal club was lacking a bit, but when we raised the concern they acknowledged it and gave us complimentary snacks at the club. The room and view was amazing. The pool was well maintained. And the complimentary sumptuous breakfast <3

We asked to upgrade to sea facing room We’re allocated at R/s 2000 taxes extra per night. But, nothing in the room worked. We had problems with the TV. We asked for help every time we wanted to watch. The bathroom lights were very temperamental. They’d suddenly switch off and I found struggling to distinguish shower gel from shampoo We had to ask for help several times. The staff were helpful but we were embarrassed to ask. I don’t know if it was worth paying more than 9000 rupees extra
