"Overall excellent experience. Would come back"

" We have been staying at this property since its Hyatt days, which makes this February visit even more disappointing. Four families travelled from different cities to celebrate an 80th birthday. Despite sharing all booking details in advance, there were repeated lapses. I received an incorrect airport pickup call meant for another guest, and the response from the front office was a routine, mechanical apology with no ownership. More seriously, although all four rooms were booked under my ID and secured with my credit card, the staff asked my father-in-law and sister-in-law for their cards and charged ₹50,000 to my sister-in-law without authorisation. Even after raising the issue, the amount has not been reversed 12 days later. On checkout, I was again asked about collecting payments from others, forcing me to settle everything myself to avoid further confusion. The property is lovely, but the front office operations are deeply disappointing. A milestone family celebration was overshadowed by preventable errors and poor handling."

"The property and surrounding grounds are beautiful. I would not stay there again though. We arrived quite late at night and were disappointed when we arrived at our room as the bed sheets were damp and the room was very underwhelming for a 5 star hotel. By this time it was too late and we were exhausted so spent the night sleeping with damp sheets. We were contacted by the “butler service” which was really just a generic WhatsApp and they take a long time to respond. However once we raised our concerns about this another member of staff took over and was much more helpful. Our biggest frustration was that the property is advertised as having 3 pools but we were told we weren’t allowed to use the adults only pool as it was for the most expensive rooms only. On the first day we were unable to get a lounger at the pool we were allowed to use. The experiences the hotel offers are eye wateringly expensive. There was a mix up which I take some responsibility for where I had booked a dining experience for my wife’s birthday under the impression it was £150 only to find out hours before that it was £1,500 and when I said I didn’t want to continue with it I was told I would have to pay 20% cancellation fee however no cancellation fee was ever mentioned in the booking of the experience. There was also no way the experience could ever be worth £1,500. The staff are very nice but there is a clear agenda to get as much money out of the guests as possible and everything has a price."

"Clean, spacious room, friendly and attentive staff. The pool was temperature controlled and newly renovated. We had an excellent time here! The breakfast was excellent and the variety on offer was exceptional."

"Really dated I booked an indulgence room. It was terrible Swimming pool is in the shade and really cold water. Only 6 sun loungers around it because nobody went in the pool. Clean towels supplied smelt horrible. Always got dirty feet when I had a shower as they obviously don’t clean the floor"

"A lovely relaxing hotel and the staff are very attentive. "

"There were unexpected charges related to the age of my children. I booked for two adults and two children but had to pay £230 extra for my oldest child upon arrival. Hotel subsequently realised that the charge was not entirely correct but only partially compensated me. The breakfast was excellent and the service at the breakfast was wonderful. However service at the restaurant during the dinners was less good. Hotel prices for the wine are not reasonable. More than £40 for a bottle of local wine (which is the cheapest option) is not market standard. Beach is wonderful and location and distance to the beach is perfect. Swimming pool and garden are outstanding. There were a lot of mosquitoes inside of our room and hotel, much less of them if dining in one of local huts on the beach. "

"Good shower, comfy bed, clean, lovely grounds that are well maintained. Good pool, comfy sun beds with and some without shade. Courteous staff at pool bar. Poor and very slow service at breakfast. Never any bacon on buffet. Breakfast always a poor experience and the only aspect to let it down."

"Room was very clean and staff very attentive. Food at the hotel was delicious. A lot of variety. "
