The wonderful team of Ayurveda and the food department made this destination exceptional. Arrived at this heaven with some expectation of coming out of my chronic fatigue syndrome and Dr. Manish identified and corrected the issue with his knowledge and experience. He is a doctor with lots of patience and made my treatment plan with utmost care and daily follow-ups. I spent a good 14 days as suggested by him and the end result is magical. I am what I used to be, the energetic same old person. The food curated by the team is tasty and fresh, they have a good garden with mangos, coconut, bananas, and some vegetables. Every team member from housekeeper to a therapist is caring and supportive. The location is good away from the beach but at the same time, you enjoy your sunset sea view from your own balcony. A clean and beautiful pool, a garden, and more or less a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The place is good for anyone looking for value for money.

Such a beautiful team of professionals, doctors, therapist, chef and all others did the magic of providing me more than what is needed from my long awaiting retreat. Economical, affordable, easily adaptable procedures and the beautiful location and much higher positive energy of the place is commedable. Everyone is so sweet and adorable.
