charming goan getaway

abundant spacediverse faunareally good staffcourteous guard
the hotel spans a considerable area, with abundant space between structures. two pools were available, one for families and another exclusively for adults. lush greenery surrounded me, and i saw diverse fauna.. a good sight. the location and staff were really good, especially hari, a security guard, and malus and pravin from the pool area. i found them professional and courteous.
the bathroom felt a little cramped. i also noticed that the beach loungers weren't very inviting and seemed insufficient in number.

i stayed for several nights. The hotel contains ample space with lush greenery all around. sea facing villas offer spacious layouts including private gardens. The pathway next to the sea provided a perfect spot for morning walks and refreshing runs. The mornings and evenings always featured fresh breezes.
The premium cottage room i booked felt a little small. Rooms at similar properties i have visited felt larger.
