It was an excellent experience and love to be there.
Pros:

Being overseas, I normally try south Indian cuisine, which we miss and that was okay, only we were late on both days and we tried the Asian cuisine was also good.

A wonderful and memorable experience
Pros:

Beautiful interiors. Comfortable and large room. Personal butler service. Food was outstanding.

Cons:

Perhaps a little further out than intended but this isn’t a slight, it was more to do with the distance to and form work so no fault of the hotel.

Excellent hotel, excellent staff, and excellent services.
Pros:

A very lovely hotel. The staff—both at the hotel and the restaurant—were very kind. The service at the Indian restaurant was excellent; we encountered a very helpful waiter who guided us in our choice of dishes, particularly regarding the spice level, given that we weren't accustomed to Indian food.

Cons:

Sometimes it’s hard to find an Uber driver. The staff outside the hotel were very helpful and booked a driver for us using a local app (similar to Uber but requiring an Indian phone number). They booked the rides on our behalf and agreed on the fare with the driver. Excellent service.
