TripAdvisor Review
Excellent property with beach,spa,bar but food is below average

We had 2 days stay..check in was smooth in cute villa room with all necessary amenities and sit out balcony.Room was clean,fresh and comfy. The beach just stone away and well maintained. We tried the Soham spa and it was relaxing and rejuvenating. The biggest disappointment was the food. The breakfast buffet was lacking variety and taste. Dosa,Puri was not that tasty enough. For dinner, we tried ala-carte.. with peri peri prawns which too sweet, chicken tikka which was just ok and chicken biriyani where chicken was too dry and rice was not was warm and fragnant.. it was not moist at all.. this was not expected from Five star resort. All was conveyed to chef and he said he will see us during breakfast but no gesture was shown by him during our next breakfast. Also the tea served near beach was bad as we asked simple black tea with ginger and it was with too much ginger and bitterness. Also this was chargeable which is high and not worth at all. Overall, excellent property and swimming pool with beach and gym and spa but food needs lot of improvement in taste, quality and appetising experience.

Culinary delight

Had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Specially the food at Seagull restaurant was the highlight. Jonathan was super kind and helpful throughout our stay catering to our needs and helping us with food for our toddler, also Leandro at the bar served some great cocktails. The property has direct access to the beach which makes it an ideal choice for families. Rooms are spacious and well maintained. Highly recommended.
