Good value and location . Helpful stuff . No hassles .
Pros:

Location just behind the beach. Access to the Tuk Tuk’s . Staff were helpful. I had triple room on top floor which was nice for sitting listening to the birds. I found it value for what I needed and ended up staying 3 weeks instead of one. Next door to Ayurveda centre too.

Cons:

Breakfast was ok but not great.

Would definitely stay there again . If you want somewhere clean with a convenient location that is value for money . Th
Pros:

It was a really good location , the staff were lovely , the room was clean , it has a balcony to relax , there was plenty of tea and coffee provided . The price was really good . Our flight was cancelled due to the conflict in the Middle East and the manager was very understanding and helped us by being flexible with the amount of nights we stayed

Cons:

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like . It was excellent value

Einfach wundervolle Tage in dieser Unterkunft, ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt.
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt 50 m ruhig etwas von der Straße entfernt. Die Betten und Duschen sind bisher die besten in Indien. Das Frühstück ist ein wahres Obstparadies. Die Zimmer sind modern, hell und mit einem großen Balkon ausgestattet. Das Personal überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit! Sehr zu empfehlen!!
