Very unhappy with the room. We booked Deluxe Room, 1 Queen Bed (Club Room) however we were given bad room stating hotel has upgraded us to better room. When we requested why we are not given our original booked room, I was informed those rooms are booked and not available on Sat and Sun. Apart from room rest all were good (cafeterias, pool, beach areas, and service staff)

To be honest, I’m still surprised how this is classed as 5 star property. Probably before 10 or 15 years and definitely the rooms and property doesn’t give that 5 star look. AC wasn’t working in Reception, AC wasn’t fully functional in room, no ventilation, no South Indian food, majority of Hindi speaking staff. Pool has no equipments or any kids toys to play with, delayed room service, delayed check out procedures, food is not worth the money we paid for. It was totally a disappointing stay out there. Nothing to like there, sorry

Not worth the rates they are charging
The service and stay is not worth the rates they are charging. The resort called 1 day before asking to delay the check-in to after 4 pm since there was a marriage function that was getting extended. This was not expected as we had informed to check-in by 2 pm since were were driving down. It took more than three calls/follow-ups to get extra bed setup.

My family and I loved the service and hospitality. The food was above average given that the head chef was away when we visited (non-peak season). We received a complimentary upgrade (only after we were first offered the chance to pay for our upgrade and subsequently we received it free anyway). There were way too many flies even in the indoor restaurants. Overall, we'd still give this visit a 6/10. We had a great time, but probably not worth the price tag and up to what we'd expect of an ITC member hotel. The staff however were exceptional and ofcourse deserve special mention.

Beautiful property with limited services
The property is great and well kept, but it is unfortunate that they do not have all services available that are written/promised. We stayed for 2 days and none of the Salon services were available during out entire stay. Additionally, the restaurant has very limited menu options during different hours of the day and not everything on the menu is actually available. We couldn't tell if it was just off season or the staff didn't feel like working, but that made our stay not as smooth. Also the view to the beach is ruined by this large unnecessary fence and mesh rope that goes avvross the view horizon. I've never seen this ugly eyesaur at any beachfront property. The carpet in the hallways looked like it was from the 50s, with stains on it.
