The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Breakfast Buffet

I was thoroughly impressed with the breakfast buffet at the hotel. The variety offered was fantastic, and the quality was great, easily one of the best I've had in India. They even serve bacon upon request! The attention to detail, like the homemade fruit jam, made me feel special every morning. Absolutely a great way to start the day!

Spacious Rooms with Beautiful Views

I stayed in a sea view room with a fantastic balcony overlooking the ocean. The room was spacious and bright, providing a perfect setting for relaxation. It was amazing to enjoy the sound of the waves and the stunning sunsets right from my room. The attention to detail in the room's design made my stay even more enjoyable.

Relaxing and Rejuvenating Massage

I indulged in a magical massage at the hotel spa, which was simply lovely. I recommend booking a massage in advance as it's quite popular. The therapist was skilled, and it felt like a rejuvenating escape from the hustle and bustle. I left feeling refreshed and relaxed, ready to enjoy more of my holiday.
