Let me sum up my experience by highlighting a few pros and cons of the stay:
Pros:
1) Located on the quiet south cliff, walking distance from Cafe Sarvaa, trip is life and the Bhumiveda spa.
2) The lawn area behind the hotel is a beautiful place to chill out and soak in the unending views of the sea. There are stairs heading down to the beach too.
3) The rooms and property surroundings are neat and clean.
Cons:
1) There was a constant stink of sewage emanating from the drain in the washroom which was really unpleasant.
2) The property needs better pest control. While the odd cockroach is understandable, we were taken aback by the presence of a centipede in the washroom, again coming from the drain. They really need to fix the drainage issue.
3) On both days of our stay, there appeared to be a large group, possibly family friends of the caretaker who were staying at the property. Food arrangements were made for them on the lawn along with party speakers and that spoilt the otherwise tranquil vibe of the place for the other guests. Not to mention, on the third day, we found that these guests had taken our chairs too from our balcony outside the room and put their wet clothes to dry in our balcony.
4) We had a room on the ground floor and while one can watch the sea beyond the lawn area from the room, the sliding glass doors don't have one way visible glass. So we had to keep the curtains closed throughout our stay as everyone from the lawn was able to get a direct view inside our room through the glass otherwise. So the room wasn't really sea view as claimed.
