I have revisited this property after a gap of one year and found that the level of service is improved than last year. One must have food at their vegetarian restaurant Haveli and try south indian thali to have genuine taste of south Indian taste. More

Our room was pleasantly decorated and furnished, spacious and well appointed. The room service as well as restaurant service were prompt and attentive. It's slightly away from the sea shore but...
