10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was lovely, but the staff truly made our stay exceptional. I would especially like to commend Manager Prem, Chef Asela, and staff members Kokilan and Jayathan, who were courteous, helpful, and friendly throughout our stay. The restaurant and reception teams were equally welcoming and attentive. A special mention also goes to Rosnan from housekeeping, who was very attentive to cleanliness and always friendly and courteous. Beyond the excellent service, the hotel’s location is wonderful, with the beach just a few steps from the doorstep. There was a great variety of food to choose from, and the peaceful, quiet surroundings made it the perfect place to relax and unwind.
