Great staff - especially the man covering management duty at night. Room / hotel clean Breakfast good Restaurant good Close to airport Location could be more convenient - no shops nearby and need a good walk to get to the beach. Uber needed. AC wasnt working in initial room but got moved in a different but similar room within reasonable timeframe

The Hotel should try servinge Indian Style Vegetarian Dish options for their guests. I requested if they could make a Vegetable Potato Curry. The Chef was able to cook up a delicious Curry and I had a very satisfying meal on the second day evening.
