Pros:

I recently stayed at O by Tamara after more than four years, and I must say the experience has improved tremendously. During my previous visit around the COVID period, I wasn't very satisfied with the service, but this time everything exceeded my expectations.

The hospitality was excellent from the moment we arrived. The staff were warm, friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. I especially appreciated that they greeted guests with "Namaste," showing respect for Indian culture and making us feel truly welcome.

I stayed at the resort and enjoyed both the breakfast and buffet. The food was outstanding, with an excellent variety of Indian, Western, and local dishes. Everything was fresh, delicious, beautifully presented, and of high quality. The buffet is definitely worth the price.

The resort was clean, well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. It's wonderful to see how much O by Tamara has improved over the years. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable stay, great food, and exceptional hospitality.

Pros:

Everything! A wonderful hotel with great staff and awesome food! All staff were very courteous and helpful. Highly recommend. Chef was also very good.

Cons:

One of the waiters at breakfast was very intrusive and instead of catering to customers needs, was getting too chatty and inquisitive about personal matters. Hotel should instruct staff in the restaurant to stick to service, and food related talk, not personally intrusive chats. Except for this one guy, all others were great.
