A stunning stay with excellent staff and service.
Pros:

Stunningly designed resort and grounds + very attentive and engaging staff. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Bathrooms are a whole spa zone in themselves as a step apart from most. Pool and other facilities are excellently maintained. The food was good with a fair amount of variety. Staff were extra helpful with kids. Wish we could have stayed even longer to enjoy all of the extra facilities and spa .

Avoid this. Slack hotel
Pros:

Not everything goes to plan on a vacation but great hotels sort matters out to guests satisfaction whilst poor ones don’t, and Chaarya clearly falls into the latter category
They lost an expensive set of riding gear in their washing service which severely impacted the remainder of our cycling trip
After many excuses they offered an insulting compensation which was rejected and they then stuck their head in the sand
Notwithstanding spending 3 nights here our room wasn’t serviced and I could go on…..
Until guests stop going here sack hotels like Chaarya will treat guests with disrespect so if you want a. Stress free holiday don’t stay there
There are lots of wonderful hotels in SL, just not Chaarya
