Great Ambience with good Amenities and has a Private Beach”

We had a great stay at the resort. Travelled with my Son, he had a great time playing on the lawn and the swimming pool. It also has a private beach, that a cool stuff isn't? Rooms are decent, since it is closer to the beach, nice breeze was felt throughout. Tented rooms are one of the highlights but need to work on the painting and some gaps were seen between the doors else the rooms were comfortable to stay. Food was ok, may improve there a little bit. Room service was good.

We have booked deluxe tent but Resort people upgraded and gave us sea facing room. I will give 10 stars to the sea facing room but there are some issues in the room but it can be ignored if we prefer location mainly. Food is okey okey not that much great but they will charge rate of 3 star hotel.. Taking all we had a good stay in the resort.

Kids entertainment ”

It has a great potential to be the most sort after resort. If could add the following. 1. Kids entertainment, room with a play gym. Outdoor area with slides, dry sand to play, hire a physical educator for kids to have organized play time, while the parents rest. 2. Beach is good for viewing only, absolutely not for swimming, it's dangerous. Arrange beach volley ball, beach lounge chairs and umbrella. Beach toys for kids. 3. Staff is excellent, pay them well and make use of their talent. 4. Too many stray dogs, you can make the property into a pet friendly place. 5. Allow outside food, since the in room dining is not that great for the price or train your existing chef with new skills. You tube is the best trainer.

Very good place for peaceful vacation and good ambience with sea view. Direct access to sea from 6am to 6.30pm. I had seen bad reviews about this property mainly about the old construction and all. But now there are new tents are built and some are still building with good facilities. Only negative thing is food is costly. One plain rice cost 150rs and small curd bowl cost 90rs. Average ₹500 for one person if you have lunch or dinner from here. Breakfast is available at 210 for one adult if not included in room booking.
