My stay at this hotel was quite the rollercoaster. The rooms were simply stunning and impeccably clean, with a lovely balcony overlooking a peaceful garden. However, the experience was marred by the rather unhelpful management, which made it difficult to fully enjoy what should have been a memorable getaway. Overall, it was a beautiful place but left a somewhat bitter taste due to the service.

My stay was a mixed bag; while the rooms were beautifully clean and came with nice bathrooms, the service from the hotel manager really put a damper on the whole experience. The location was quite nice, allowing easy access to various attractions, but it was overshadowed by the distressing interactions I had with the staff. Overall, this beautiful property could have been a perfect getaway, but unfortunately, the service left a scarred memory.

The hotel boasts beautiful rooms with nice bathrooms, making for a pleasant stay. Unfortunately, the experience was severely dampened by the awful service from the hotel manager, Priyanka, which was quite disappointing and left a negative impression on our otherwise enjoyable trip around the island. While I loved the ambiance, this issue created a stark contrast to the lovely surroundings.
