    The cabanas were very basic and also fairly rundown. They are obviously quite old and haven't been properly maintained. Some mold on the walls and our fridge was broken etc.

    The resort is in a great location, right on the beach. The buffet breakfast was nice.

    Accommodation, though we were upgraded to cabanas near the beach after requesting by a very friendly front desk team, rooms are old, dirty not maintained well, cramped inside, AC and fridge did not work, dirty linen require renovation and new service amenities for the amount charged. Did not want buffet dinner instead ordered a la carte not satisfied as some items were served from the buffet, not freshly made too much sauces used

    Location, beach and the staff. Buffet breakfast was nice a good selection.

    Too many functions booked here that impacted on comfort of hotel guests. In the 3 nights we stayed there were 2 weddings and a major sales conference for the better part of a day. Manager did shout us drinks and dinner for the inconvenience, but it would have been good to be forewarned of these functions. Beach had a fair bit of rubbish- needs to be cleaned more often. Very few channels on TV. Definitely not a luxury resort- not really worth the price

    Beach ok- pool very nice Staff pretty accommodating

    The hotel is really bad located. There is nothing in the area. We had to take taxis to eat or go to the beach. We had a wooden cabin but the room was quite oldish with wallpaper which were not in good maintenance. We had spots on the bedsheets. We were supposed to have a beach view but it’s more a garden view than a beach view. The curtains are not covering the sun in the morning unfortunately. Regarding the beach, it was not convenient as it was the place for the fishermen to work. We were not really able to sit on the sun beds. Regarding the breakfast, we were really disappointed. It was really hot, the fans were not working. Moreover, nothing is explained and meat was in the middle of sweet things, which is complicated as I’m vegetarian. I took without knowing and thinking it was sweet as the rest. On the second day, the buffet was quite empty. They didn’t refill it. At the swimming pool there were a lot of ravens which were shitting on our sun beds. Some sun beds are really outdated and I’m not sure it’s safe to sit on them.

    The swimming pool was big.

    This is advertised as a 4* with 4* prices but 3* at best. The location is hard to find. Rooms are small outdated - phone not working and restaurants close at 9:30.

    You can see it’s all getting older and there’s not that much maintenance. We didn’t talk much to the staff.

    Close be the beach and the huts are cute. Would have a lot of potential if it’s better maintained!

    Food and its prices. Food is not much good. No god spread and there is jo speciality. We ordered sea food sizzle, sea food mixed grill, chicken Biriyani and mixed sea food biriyani. Sea food sizzle was provided less sea food and more vegetables and sea food mixed grill also the same. Chicken biriyani provided with less chicken and sea food biriyani also the same. Breakfast buffet also not bad.

    Rooms are good and facilities also good. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

    Service was poor. We asked for a sheet or blanket as we were 4 and we had only 3 sheets. Despite asking 4 times we did not get it. AC kept turning off. Beachfront sitting area was limited to select guests. Worst of all was that the hotel shared it's facilities to local functions meaning it was crowded with wedding guests on the day we visited. Beach, was nice but right next to it fishermen's village which made it feel busy.

    It was nice and tidy.
