I had an amazing stay at this hotel, just a stone's throw away from the beach and with great access to nearby eateries. The rooms were fantastic, boasting a jacuzzi tub and an excellent shower. The service was top-notch, and the proximity to the beach made my experience even more enjoyable. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the price could be more budget-friendly.

This hotel exceeded my expectations with its phenomenal location right by the beach and proximity to various dining options. The rooms were impeccable, offering a luxurious shower experience with a jacuzzi tub, but the service fell slightly short. Dining, on the other hand, was a delightful experience with authentic Indian dishes. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly comfortable and convenient.
