Cons:

⚠️ If you value your safety, never book this hotel. This is not about money anymore — this is about lives and basic human safety.

This has been the worst and most unsafe hotel experience of my life. From being tricked at check-in, to filthy and broken rooms, and finally a terrifying break-in, this resort has proven it does not care about its guests.

1. Room bait-and-switch:
When we first visited, the hotel showed us Room 103. After payment, they suddenly gave us Room 206, which was filthy, dirty, and completely unacceptable. Only after arguing did they move us back to Room 103 — still not very clean, but slightly better.

2. Maintenance failure:
Room 103 had a serious water issue — the shower drain was blocked, flooding the entire bathroom every time it was used. Basic maintenance is clearly ignored.

3. Safety nightmare:
At 12:20 AM, someone broke into our room by smashing the lock while we were inside. We were terrified, unable to sleep, and felt completely unsafe. The lock was visibly broken (photo attached). The person who broke into the room entered harshly saw that two people were in the room and left then he rang the bell after we secured the other door lock as the first was broken by him all of this at 12:20 AM. Turned out he is a staff from the hotel.

4. Management’s disgraceful response:
At reception, the lady called the general manager and handed us the phone. We explained the situation and demanded proper compensation — not just for money, but for the mental stress, loss of safety, and trauma we experienced. Shockingly, the GM first offered a complimentary lunch — as if that fixes a night of fear. After pushing further, he agreed only to refund ₹3,820 ($43 USD) for the previous dinner and room. And then, instead of taking responsibility, he mentioned that they want us to sign, agreeing not to complain further if we accepted that small refund after handing it.
