An absolute sham
Pros:

An absolute disaster. The hotel does not even fit into a 1 star category. It was a total waste of my money and will never again trust Hotel.com on the hotel reviews and images shown. The hotel was the height of uncleanliness. The sadest part of all was that it was i who recommended my brother and family to book this hotel.

Pros:

Filthy rooms, holes in bed covers, huge body dent in mattress making it the most uncomfy bed I’ve EVER slept in, stains on bedding, grubby bathroom, mouldy pillows, dirty breakfast tables and mats, inattentive staff, location undergoing construction and middle of nowhere, unsafe to walk back after dark.
NOT 5* - more like 2*

Pros:

From day 1 checkin experience was not good. My mom and sister waited for a room as they arrived early. After getting a room they tried to play smart and gave us a room which was not what we booked so we had argued regarding same.
After that they gave us the right room which was deluxe room.
Moreover after getting in the room, bed sheets were not properly cleaned as there were stain marks which was not appealing to eye.
Buffet for breakfast was not at all as per hotel standards, i could see mosquito around some food specifically towards muffins and curries which were kept in earthenware.
Menu was not at all as per standard of the hotel.
Half of the things in buffet were either cold or were not heated properly.
Housekeepers were not aware of the timings of spa when asked. Instead of telling me or acknowledging the question asked this person just passed by while talking on the phone and not answering as i could see he was not aware of their own facilities timing.
This was not what i was expecting out of a hotel which is reputed all over the world.
But i will not recommend this hotel to anyone i know.
