What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Authentic Tamil Delicacies

During my stay, I was treated to an authentic Tamil feast served on a banana leaf. The блюда were plentiful, and I particularly loved the Mutton Chukka and the Natu Kodi Varuval. It felt great to eat with my hands, immersing myself in the traditional dining culture. The chef was attentive to preferences and even facilitated a special vegetarian menu for my family. We appreciated the flavors and freshness of the local dishes offered at every meal.

Charming Cottage Design

I absolutely loved the unique cottage I stayed in. The design was rustic yet modern, providing me with a cozy retreat that felt just like being in a village. The open-air shower was a good touch, allowing me to enjoy nature while freshening up. It was spacious, clean, and equipped with comfortable amenities that made my stay truly relaxing and enjoyable.

Refreshing Swimming Pool

I spent several hours in the resort's expansive swimming pool that offers stunning panoramic views. Although I visited in early summer when the water was a bit chilly, the beauty of the surroundings made up for it. It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration and enjoy a refreshing dip. I can't wait for my next visit during warmer months to fully enjoy this inviting facility.

Fun Family Activities

My family had a fantastic time joining the early morning village walks organized by the resort. It was a great bonding experience, as we explored the scenic mangroves and enjoyed the cool morning air. The activities were perfect for keeping the kids engaged while allowing us parents to soak in the natural beauty around us. It felt like a mini-adventure that every family member cherished.

My stay at the resort was a mix of good and bad experiences. While I appreciated the beautiful landscaping and tranquil location, the service left much to be desired, with slow response times and limited food options. The open-air dining was great, but the food quality didn't match the serene environment. Overall, it's a nice place for relaxation, but improvements are definitely needed.
