The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Blissful Spa Experience

During my stay, I indulged in the Ayurvedic treatments offered by the hotel's spa, specifically the Angodayam and Shirodhara massages. They provided a unique and rejuvenating experience that I found to be much better than options available outside the resort. The prices were reasonable, making it an excellent value for relaxation and wellness.

Impressive Breakfast Buffet

I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which featured a wide variety of tasty items, particularly for vegetarians. It was a great way to start my day, and the overall food quality surpassed my expectations. The Courtyard restaurant also impressed me with excellent service and delicious cuisine.
