Review by Paul Riley & Patricia Curry-Riley. This is our third visit to this beautifully located hotel, we messaged the duty manager in advance maybe expecting acknowledgment of our loyalty to this hotel, we even brought our daughter and partner for their first visit to India. On arrival instead of a warm welcome back we got a standard here’s your room, see you later! We had another amazing holiday in India and enjoyed lovely meals out visiting old acquaintances we met previously in restaurants and beach shacks. However, the hotel is not what it used to be. The management appears to be very poor. When problems arose, even simple ones like broken machinery in the gym, lights not working in the room, no hot water etc; it had to be repeated many times before it was eventually sorted out. Breakfast was often chaotic bringing tea and coffee out at the end of breakfast and asking for a table outside to be cleaned was a job that was never done. Saying that though, many of the staff were absolutely fabulous. A special thank you to Madden who worked at the pool should be mentioned. He managed to make us feel valuable during our stay at the hotel. There was also a very reliable waiter at breakfast called Hayden who was very good and asking if we needed anything else, making breakfast enjoyable. A really special relaxing and enjoyable part of the holiday was the lovely spa treatments I enjoyed. The aromatherapy treatments from Nisha Shaikh really helped us feel relaxed and stress free during our stay. This hotel is in a gem of a location and with maintenance and proper management would be a hotel we may consider in the future again but definitely not in its current state of repair and management.
