it was just amazing...
Pros:

this is not another huge clouded and complicated hotel. its small in size and was perfect for a quiet and relaxing escape. I'm really satisfied because the staff was excellent and in case you ask for a help they are ever ready and very tentative.

Cons:

people are really judgemental about so many things but I didn't find anything negative about Monaara Leisure, it's a nice place to stay. I hope other's too should stop complaining about things and enjoy more.
