    Review Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    The property has a stunning location with sea views and easy access to nearby attractions, which guests really appreciate. However, many have mentioned poor service and lack of basic amenities like towels and clean rooms. While the views are great, the cleanliness and staff responsiveness have been highlighted as major concerns. The complimentary breakfast and overall maintenance also need improvement.

    Poor Stay

    tom m.family

    The bathroom was terrible. The towels smelled, and the bathroom floor was muddy. The walls were unclean, and the overall condition was poor. We had to call the reception multiple times because the water kept running out.

    The resort stay was not as expected. AC was not properly worked. Doors are old. Very pathetic condition. Only advantage is the resort is on cliff area itself. Not worth for hard earned money.

    Premium sea view room

    shoyeb k.couple

    The most fascinating fact about this resort cum hotel is the premium sea view room which has direct access to north cliff ocean view with a greater cinematic looks. Room as per tariff could be not suitable for most of the folks who are travelling with family and couple this would a great choice. Another fact they should clean up the rooms very often and do work on the basic facilities including room service and access to restaurant.

    The resort was not good enough for the money we paid Parking was not available as the road to the resort was really small We had to go behind the staff for carrying out luggage to the rooms they were responding well Food was not included though we paid a good amount of money The rooms were very mid and the bathroom was stinking and the water was red in colour We had to use the same water for the stay The outside place was good as it has a beach view

    Room was good but service is pathetic, no one will come for cleaning. They don't have any restaurant. If you choose room with breakfast, they will give you coupon and that restaurant food was not good.

    The location of the property was amazing, right next to the cliff and markets! The phone in the room didn’t work and the sheets were a bit dirty. Hot water didn’t come readily and you had to wait for a bit. It was very average experience.
