What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Food Experience

The food prepared at the hotel was simply awesome! My husband ordered the best Paneer Pakoda for an evening snack, and we enjoyed it so much that we asked for a second plate. As vegetarians, we tried the mushroom pulav, bhindi masala, and peas pulav, all of which were incredibly delicious. The chef was friendly and accommodating, making our dining experience truly memorable.

Incredible Ayurvedic Treatment

I received an Ayurvedic treatment directed by Dr. P.J. Ajeeb during my stay, and it was a life-changing experience. After just one week, I saw incredible results, and my glaucoma condition improved significantly. The entire Ayurvedic program at the resort is impressive, with well-managed clinics and dedicated staff. I highly recommend this treatment to anyone looking to improve their health.

Comfortable Pool & Beach View Room

We booked a pool and beach view room, and it was just what we expected! The room was nicely maintained, spacious, and came with a coffee maker, which was great for our morning brews. The ambiance of the surroundings, filled with lush plants and trees, added to the overall charm of our stay. It felt so calm and relaxing, just listening to the sound of the waves.

Refreshing Swimming Pool

The swimming pool was a highlight during our stay! It was well-maintained, and there was even a small section for kids, which our little one loved. It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day at the beach. The poolside area provided such a serene atmosphere, making it an excellent place to relax and soak up the sun.
