The breakfast at the hotel was excellent. The location was nice, there are a lot of restaurants near the hotel. It is close to the city. The staffs were friendly and very helpful.

The internet connection wasn't that great.

The property was very Indian and authentic. It was very clean and the staff were friendly. The food was ok and a fair price.

The pools had no sun beds and I don’t believe they thought people would use them. The pool furthest from the hotel needed some work it didn’t look very safe. I am not sure how hygienic they were. There wasn’t really a lot to do in that area so I wouldn’t advise staying for long.

The ambiance, the calmness.

I guess, the bars are given out to 3rd party, that I ended up having nothing to drink when it was just 10:30. Usually, for hotels with such stars at my area here in Ernakulam would serve till 11:00pm and also the staff would know what timings does the bars at his working premises would end. But, ended up… empty handed and had to buy from outside. ☹️

The cottage they offered to me is fantastic and the staff also very courteous and helpful. There might be a short delay for the room service, and I cannot blame them as they are catering from kitchen which is not near the cottage.

The staff are so well trained at this hotel, it was a pleasure interacting with them. And the grounds are beautiful. The pirate bar in the middle of the lake is the perfect setting for sundowner cocktails.
