Reviews

Great met my expectations

Sarah Nash

Great place for Ayurveda treatments. Very rustic, great staff, great food.

Sarah Nash

Treatments and food were excellent. Everything else was a bit of a disappointment. The room I was given was not the one I paid for and the place is overrun with large package groups. Some levels of service are non existent eg front desk and I had an issue with the pharmacy giving my herbs to another guest.

Anonymous

Excellent Ayurveda treatments and choice of food. Staff were excellent and friendly, although there were some staff who were asking for money for their families from solo female guests. I have never experienced this in India as an accompanied female. Hotel and rooms are basic but very comfortable. Water is provided in the room daily. Very noisy when I visited as there was an ExPo event on the beach attracting thousands of visitors for 3 days, music playing until the early hours. With all the work building and then dismantling the noise went on for 7 days. I feel the hotel should have made tour companies aware.

LEANNE PRICE

Excellent service across the resort only downside was my room on the 2nd floor was below the 3rd floor where they have treatment rooms so noise from early morning with furniture moving and people attending 7am treatments.
