"Reception staff particularly Tamana and Anuradha were friendly and very helpful. The service they provided was impeccable. Restaurant staff were largely not as attentive/helpful bar one member of staff who served us on our first day. Tables were not cleaned promptly between services. The service in the restaurant was off putting to say the least."
