The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Spa Experience

I treated myself to a deep muscle massage at the Arudevic Spa during my stay. Although it was quite intense, leaving me feeling like I was run over by a train, it was definitely worth the experience! The facility offered a fantastic range of treatments, leaving me refreshed and rejuvenated for the rest of my vacation.

Delicious Culinary Delights

The dining experience was off the charts! The buffet breakfast had an impressive variety, ensuring that I was never short on options. I must say, the chef even came out to give us cooking lessons, which was a fun highlight of my stay. Every dish was cooked to perfection, and I left every meal feeling satisfied.

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. While the facilities like the pool and activity room were enjoyable, the dining experience at times can take longer than expected. The accommodation was a bit outdated, but overall, it’s a tranquil place to unwind and rejuvenate.

I had a wonderful experience at Abad Turtle Beach, which is a lovely resort located over 17 acres with a delightful private beach. The cottages were clean and spacious, and the breakfast spread was absolutely delicious. The staff went above and beyond during my stay, but I did notice a few areas that could use improvement, like more loungers on the beach and more dining options for lunch and dinner outside the a la carte menu.
