6.8/10

I had a pleasant stay at the resort spa, where the private beach access made for a relaxing experience. The rooms were well-kept and a decent size, though I found the soundproofing lacking. Service was hit or miss; some staff were warm and accommodating, but dinner service left something to be desired. Dining was enjoyable at times, but a few hiccups during breakfast were disappointing. All in all, I felt it was a fair value for the amenities offered, but some aspects could use improvement.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious and clean, but I did notice that the soundproofing wasn't great.

7.0/10

During my stay, I found the hotel to be quite pleasant, especially with its private beach offering a slice of tranquility. The service was attentive, particularly in catering to my baby's needs, which made our family trip smoother. However, the dining setup was less than ideal, as breakfast was held in a conference hall and felt quite crowded. The room could have been larger and better optimized for the price we paid, but overall, it was a nice experience.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in was decent but not as spacious as I expected, considering the amount of land the hotel occupies. It had more of a garden view than a true sea view.

Location

8.0

The hotel location is fantastic with its own private beach, perfect for a quiet retreat. However, there were some distractions from loud music that gave the place a cheap impression at times.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was held in a makeshift conference room. It was a bit chaotic and could use better staffing to handle the crowd, but the food options were fairly standard.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities include a small swimming pool which was okay, but it might not be ideal for larger families looking for more space to spread out.

I had an incredible time at this resort spa! The rooms were spacious with a lovely sea view, making my stay feel luxurious. The service was top-notch, with every staff member being genuinely warm and professional. The only downside I noticed was that my room was quite far from the elevators, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, it's a fantastic place for a relaxing getaway.

My stay at the resort was truly enjoyable, thanks to the stunning views of the Bay of Bengal and the lush tree cover filled with migratory birds. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but I found them a bit noisy at times. The service was remarkable, with staff showing genuine warmth, especially at the Pelican Deck. However, the dining experience fell short due to some service hiccups and the limited beverage options. Overall, it was a great experience for relaxation and luxury, though there are a few areas for improvement.

The hotel is located near a beautiful private beach, making it a delightful spot for relaxation. While the rooms were clean and had good amenities, there were some issues with noise from the nearby highway. The dining experience was hit or miss, and the service staff was genuinely welcoming. Pricing is on the higher side, especially considering some of the drawbacks in the experience.
