Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage sehr gut. Das Zimmer sehr gerรคumig und das Bett groรŸ.

Cons:

Bei Ankunft gab es trotz Buchung kein Zimmer. Es war chaotisch. Wir mussten ein paar Stunden warten. Das Badezimmer ist sehr alt und total verschimmelt. Das Bett auf Dauer zu hart.

Havde bestilt 9 dage, men afkortet opholdet fordi det ikke var tilfredsstillende. Blev opkrรฆvet det fulde belรธb 24097,50 INR, da jeg oplyste om mine rettigheder til at afkorte opholdet, forlangte de 3000 INR mere en Booking.com forlangte efter at have redigeret opholdets varighed.

A great place to be
Pros:

I liked where it was located and was not far away from the beach. I loved my stay there.

Cons:

It needs more marketing. I guess not many people know about this place.

The hotel has lost itโ€™s allure and needs an update
Pros:

The setting is very pretty and the hotel manager and cleaners friendly

Cons:

The bathrooms were in poor condition. The shower drain on the opposite side of the room so excess water needed to be swept clear. No cold water which in the very hot weather was difficult. The room wasnโ€™t cleaned or towels replaced during our four night stay. The breakfasts were disappointing. Almost all of the items on the menu were not available on a daily basis and no effort was made to resupply which could easily have been arranged.

Superb
Pros:

The staff and the hotel manager was really helpful and accommodating. Their own cafe and restaurant is just a minute down towards the beach which is a perfect place for all your food and coffee needs.
