What People are saying

Not so 5-starish

Average food. Average rooms. Insects in the swimming pool. Dirty lawns. Definitely not worth the price tag. Worth 3000 max. The only somewhat plus was a semi-private beach. Otherwise, i'll say avoid, unless you're in your 40s with kids, and a lot of money.

Over Rated Hotel

Seriously doubt how this hotel is surviving with so much positive reviews. We went there for our post photography session. They charged Rs.6000 for our photoshoot. But it isn't worth it. Although paying Rs.6000, still there are certain common places where we were restricted to take photos. Seriously ? Why the heck am I paying 6k for this ?

Beach Access - Its the only good thing about this property. From inside the resort itself, we can walk to the beach.Beach is tidy and well maintained.

Resort - Maintenance is very worst. They should somehow make it good and clean.

Staff - Most of the times inattentive. Not so pleasing.

Food - 2 times they had missed the items which we asked in room service. Food quality was very average and the menu is also not wide. Very limited menu and it is also very pricey. Also breakfast menu has limited options.

Before check out they came and checked the mini bar and they closed the fridge door with lock. Hello ? Am i gonna steal anything. If ai am paying you so much for your unworthy hotel, i would pay if I consume any items from the fridge. My wife wanted to have a snack or something. But as it was locked, we were unable to consume anything.

To conclude, it is very pricey and also not worth the cost.

Disappointing

The pictures looked out of this world and to be fair the grounds are relatively well maintained. I liked the pool in the villa etc.
However thousands of ants etc in outdoor bathroom which needs to be maintained. Old shower curtains and towels which spoils the clean image. Hotel staff are totally clueless to most things. Breakfast wasn't ready at 7 and we had to go just after.... and food is totally unappetising. Don't go. Smaller hotels in White Town would have much more of a clue

A lovely beach side resort.

I had been there for 1 night and 2 days one week back. The resort is located on the outskirts of the town. We stayed in a sea facing room on the upper floor which has a nice balcony. View from the balcony is really good. The room was very clean and neat and provided with amenities like a mini bar with varieties of liquors, nuts, snacks, cookies, bottled water etc. all at extra cost except bottled water!. Wifi is also provided though I never used.

There is a large play ground and a well maintained beautiful pool located with in the premises. Also a lovely private beach is there exclusively for the resort occupants. I never saw such a clean beach anywhere.

We took only breakfast from there and it was having a lot of variety dishes and beverages.

Overall it is a nice resort and we had a great stay there. Will definitely recommend it.

One downside is that there is no cancellation policy or change of booking date is available which is there with many other hotels. We had actually booked for 2 days by paying full amount in advance but due to an emergency I have to travel back after one day of stay at resort. I have checked with the resort authorities to either change my booking for the 2nd day to another date or option for providing refund for the cancelled date. But they were simply not interested in any.

Not worth a second visit !

Hotel is located on the beach. The service is slow. The water to have a bath was freezing despite multiple attempts to ask them for heated water. The AC remote is located at one end of the room making it difficult to regulate the temperature. The wifi service did not work at all.
