Spacious and Comfortable Cottages

My cottage was spacious and designed beautifully to offer peace and privacy. It was well maintained, and every day, the housekeeping staff surprised me with thoughtful decor, like flowers on the bed. The hammock on the balcony was a lovely touch, perfect for relaxing with a view of the lush surroundings.

Fun Outdoor Activities

I enjoyed various activities available at the resort, particularly the infinity pool and the badminton court. The clean pool offered a refreshing swim after lounging in the sun, and I had a blast playing badminton with my friends. The resort also provided bicycles for hire, allowing us to explore the gorgeous grounds at our own pace.

This resort offers a unique experience with its beautiful chalets spread across vast gardens and a clean beach nearby. The staff, particularly Anupama and Sameer, made our stay memorable with their attentive service.
