Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the stunning views from the suite rooms, especially those on the 3rd floor with balconies overlooking the water. The hotel provides amazing amenities, with experiences like yoga with Sree being highly recommended. Dining is a highlight, from the Dolphin restaurant's seafood to the delicious grill al fresco, though some found the taxation on food prices surprisingly high. Many enjoyed the unique boat ride with a live flute player and the relaxing Indian oil massage at the spa, making for a memorable stay.
