I recently stayed at this hotel and found the rooms clean and comfortable, though they felt a bit overpriced compared to others. The location is quite remarkable with a beautiful beach conveniently close, but the noise from the highway was a downside. The dining experience had its moments, but overall, it could use some improvement, especially in service and variety of options.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While I appreciated the clean and comfortable environment, I found the room amenities lacking, particularly with towels provided for only one person.

Overall, the hotel offers a nice experience, but some areas definitely need improvement for a more comfortable stay.

I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel, particularly because of the stunning views from my bay suite; I could see the beautiful Bay of Bengal and the lush tree cover filled with migratory birds. The full ocean views were definitely a highlight. However, my dining experience didn’t quite meet expectations due to some service issues. Overall, it felt like a good value for a star hotel.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was genuinely friendly. On the other hand, the location felt quite isolated, and the dining experience was hit or miss. Overall, I think it's great for a relaxing getaway, but there are some areas that definitely need improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room I stayed in offered stunning views of the Bay of Bengal and the lush tree cover. However, the noise from the highway was quite bothersome, and the walk to the elevators was a bit of a trek. The staff was courteous and efficient, which I appreciated. The location was fantastic with private beach access, but the dining left much to be desired as we faced multiple issues with availability. Overall, it’s a beautiful place with great potential but needs some improvements.
