We had a lovely stay with a beautiful view and a complimentary boat ride that was incredibly relaxing. Sandy, who heads the hotel, was superb and always helpful, greeting us with a smile. Elijah provided brilliant service, always eager to assist, and Unnati welcomed us warmly. While the food options were limited, the staff made an effort to cook something decent for us. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!

Very disappointed with this hotel are reading the reviews. It is not five star and is badly in need of refurbishing. While freshly painted the decor is dated and the main lounge area gives off nursing home vibes . The pool in the Courtyard area is neglected and unappealing. Our bedroom /suite , while spacious, needed a redesign and a makeover. No atmosphere and we didn’t meet any other guests at breakfast or in the limited bar . On a positive the view and gardens are lovely and the staff helpful and pleasant.
