Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
most comfortable bed in 6 weeks of touring india
The reception greeting was very warm, we also met the owner who very kindly arranged a birthday cake for me and introduced us to the other guests. This exceeded our expectations.
The room was very comfortable and clean, nice shower and the pool and facilities were excellent. I would recommend this place.
