    One of the towels was not properly cleaned

    The view from the room and balcony was mind-blowing; the sea view is more than expected. The toilet, room, furniture, and balcony were neatly decorated.

    They don’t provide breakfast. It’s not a big issue since there are many options available at the beachside.

    Our room with balcony on the 3rd floor had an amazing view on the lighthouse and beach. The room was very clean and comfortable with a separate bedroom, living room and balcony. The bedroom has a comfortable bed with mosquito net, authentic dressing table and wardrobe with build-in safe and an AC. The living room is equipped with a fridge, dining table with chairs and extra bed with mosquito net. It’s foldable doors that open up to the balcony with 2 arm chairs and a daybed. Sam and the staff are really friendly and helpful. It’s a 1-minute walk to the beach.

    Nothing. It’s sold as room only accomodation so nothing more was expected. There are plenty of places for breakfast nearby. I didn’t see any yoga classes that I later read used to be run there. If they had those I would have attended. It’s on the higher end of the pricing scale, but with some research if it fits your group’s needs, then there is nothing to fault here.

    Great location - a hop and a skip to the beach. Close to many Ayurveda places and restaurants. Fantastic balcony views. The place was kept clean and the staff was friendly. The only place I saw that provided a mosquito net which was much appreciated. Someone helps with the luggage as the beach area is a no-car zone.

    The only minor improvement would be Upgrading the quality of the bath towels .

    The location was perfect as we were about 100m from the beach and the main promenade. The view looking out to the ocean was terrific and we enjoyed the breeze on our balcony of our spacious room.Sam the host was very helpful and there were many local restaurants close by.

    Hotel is using solar power for water heater. On a rainy day, the water is not very hot. Which is ok but if you go for ayurvedic massage, water is not hot enough to wash the oil. My solution was to use kettle to get really hot water. If no oil, then it is ok. There is no restaurant, so you need to order from outside (one hotel delivers to your room). There are enough of restaurants around.

    The location and the size of the room is excellent. Balcony view is outstanding. Staff is very helpful and maintained the cleanliness of the room. Bathroom is very good. Bed is extremely large, pillows are memory foam. AC is working properly. There is a kettle but you need to bring your own coffee tea.Stay was really really good.

    They don’t have a restaurant, so didn’t provide meals n tea/coffee. In the rainy season, it’s difficult to go out every time. It’s in a downward slope n not approachable by a 4 wheeler. So transporting luggage is tough.

    I didn’t like anything about the property.
