Eating became a nightmare. We ventured up to the burger bar one lunch time having been assured from the head chef that a gluten free option was available. It was, however it took over an hour and a half for 4 out of 5 burgers to be made, and were delivered cold to the table and without fries. One of our party had waited long enough and had already left by this point. With all the burgers freezing cold, the blame was put on the fact there was a gluten free burger in the order. I wasn't sure whether to be angry at the blatant lie (gluten free burgers don't take any longer to cook and certainly not 90 minutes) or to laugh at the circus that was becoming mealtime. It was at this point the senior management stepped in and the head chef had to cook all of the gluten free meals, which was the saving grace of the restaurant. Aside from the gluten issues, there was an overwhelming amount of curry on offer every night that was so spicy I can only assume they have invented a genetically modified chilli to make them. Prepare to wait upwards of 10 minutes for basics to be replaced.
What was more baffling was everything on the room service menu, is not available to eat in the restaurant.
The breakfast service was pretty okay with a good variety on offer, but for some reason there seems to be a reluctance to offer tea and coffee. Not once was I offered coffee or tea, I had to ask for it every time. If it was that much of an issue please make it self service.
The water sport activities at the hotel look pretty good, until you have to have lived like a saint, have the whitest of teeth and be having a lucky day to use any of the pedalos, or kayaks. Some of our party did go on the glass bottom boat tour, I say some as we were told a maximum of 4 could go on it, later finding out the boat has capacity for 9. We did book to go snorkelling and dolphin watching, (at an extra cost) which I must admit was fantastic and as a bonus we did see a whale! Then we were dropped on some god forsaken deserted island for four hours and even though the hotel is on the beach, we couldn't be dropped off at the hotel beach. It had to be the flic en Flac beach a good 10 minute walk away. Was very confused and irritated by this.
One day we thought we'd venture out and go to the local nature park for some activities, we asked reception to book a taxi for us for 1:45 for 5 people. It was quickly agreed and was told it will be 1200 rupees. Seemed steep but fair enough. Until 1:45 came, and a taxi for 4 people turned up. To then be told we'd need a second taxi and it would be 1800 rupees. We asked reception to call another taxi for 5 people, i.e. a people carrier, and they said it's on it's way. They had called the same taxi company and the same two taxis turned up. By this point we were running late and had to just pay for receptions incompetence.
On the last day we had a late check out and concierge said they would come and collect the bags at 3:30 ready for our transfer. 3:30 came and went so we were left carrying the bags down the stairs. Only to be met about 100m from reception by the concierge telling us to put the bags down and he'd take them. I'm not really sure why, we'd done all the hard parts and just slowed us down at that point. I can't bemoan them too much, I did expect them to lose the bags in that 100m so I was surprised when they did reach reception.
There is a real distinct lack of professionalism and accountability at this hotel. Even down to a lack of consistency in uniform for most staff, some looked like they were on the beach, some looked like they were staff from other hotels, and some looked the part.
Amongst all this I must commend the general manager Manoj, and the head chef who did their utmost to make this trip wonderful. More

I was absolutely baffled by the whole scenario.
The quality of the food was low. The only good food were the indian dishes (note that I'm not Indian nor have been there so no idea how authentic it was) as they tasted very good and were somewhat spicy. Also the fried eggs at breakfast were good. Everything else was kind of awful.
The bar staff had zero training whatsoever. They didn't know how to make most of the cocktails so they googled them there and then or improvised. None of them were even close to what they're supposed to be. Also, when asking for dry wine, the bartender kept giving me very sweet ones. They had no idea what they were serving.
So while the room, the view and the pool were nice, I really cannot recommend the hotel. The staff are not professionally trained at all. More

It was a very quiet resort, which was perfect for us, but if you want more nightlife and entertainment, this may not be the place for you. We would 100% recommend and would love to come back again soon! Thank you for making our Honeymoon so spectacular

The food in the hotel was fresh looking and a good variety... read more for most diets. Previous reports stated it was a bit bland so I mentioned this and the next night and others we had a great mixture of spices plus every night they had grills.

Best trip of snorkelling was from the diving section in the hotel much better than more expensive trips

I meet also the Chef Mr Nageaa too ask for halal certificate he gave me an expiry one not even mention the hotel name on it. Without complaining to anyone the so called director Mr Kishaan and the General Manager Mr Manoj meet me at the bar talking to us that we are his family, they have two hotels etc...
