Our three-day stay at Namaste Nirvana, including senior citizens and a 4-year-old child, was a deeply disappointing experience. While the property’s beachfront location is undeniably beautiful, this is its only highlight, as almost every other aspect of our stay was riddled with issues. The approach road is in terrible condition, making access extremely difficult, especially for senior citizens. The property is small, with about 15 cottages, but the room design is shockingly poor. The washroom is located directly behind the bed, with no exhaust fan, resulting in constant unpleasant odors and noises permeating the room, making it highly uncomfortable for everyone, particularly the elderly and the child.
The rooms lack basic amenities such as a TV or intercom, and with no mobile network coverage, communication becomes a nightmare. Guests must rely on WhatsApp over Wi-Fi or physically seek out staff for assistance. This is especially inconvenient when traveling with young children or elderly family members. The dining experience was equally frustrating, with an extremely limited menu and no staff present at the restaurant to address even basic needs. Requests for something as simple as a spoon or sugar required us to leave our table and find someone to help.
Furthermore, there’s absolutely nothing to do after sunset, leaving the evenings dull and unengaging. For a family with senior citizens and a young child, the lack of activities and conveniences made the stay stressful. Namaste Nirvana is not suitable for families, particularly those with young children or elderly members. While the beachfront location holds promise, the lack of amenities, poor room design, inaccessible location, and subpar service make it a regrettable choice for a vacation.
