"Beautiful property and the staff here is fantastic. It's a short walk to the beach and some small shops where you can buy snacks and drinks etc if needed. There are many restaurants on the beach to get lunch and dinner as well. They provide a nice breakfast and everyone is very kind and attentive especially Gayathri and Nazeem. Definitely had a good experience here and would recommend."
