Wonderful experience as we really enjoyed the place. Rooms were clean and they had lot of facilities as well. The short complementary ride to nearby beach is with it. The beach is a must visit. The food here is a bit pricy but worth every penny. They also offer ayurveda treatment, which are to its highest standards. Best place to visit.!
