    comfortable rooms
    good ac
    renovation noise

    Comfortable rooms with good AC provided a pleasant base for our stay. A noteworthy highlight was the pool area, although there were renovations disrupting the experience.

    During our visit, renovation noise was a significant distraction, hitting hard at both evening and morning hours. The food choices, particularly for dietary restrictions, felt limited, and we ended up eating the same dishes multiple times, which was less than ideal. It seemed like the live counter could use more variety as well, lacking a bit of zing that might elevate the culinary experience.

    dated furniture
    not super fancy

    The Superior Room City View Queen Bed was decent, but not super fancy. I liked the comfortable bed and the room had a nice view. The furniture felt a bit dated though, which was a bummer. I enjoyed the smooth check-in experience and the staff were polite. Location is central, so that was a plus.

    The Executive Room Sea View Queen Bed was amazing. It had a minibar and tea/coffee maker. Free gym access was a plus. Enjoyed the spa facilities like neck and back massage. The outdoor pool was clean and relaxing. Staff were super helpful and attentive.

    delicious food

    I enjoyed that welcome drink they served us, it was a pleasant surprise. the restaurant had a nice mix of western and Kerala dishes, made every meal feel like an experience.

    Stay wasn’t exactly budget-friendly, but I guess that's the price for a decent location.
