Amazing Dining Experience

I had dinner at the hotel restaurant, and the food was absolutely amazing! I ordered the chicken tandoori, which was unlike any I had experienced before. It was incredibly tasty, loaded with vegetables, and the portion was huge! I couldn't finish it all, but I enjoyed every bite.

Family-Friendly Pool

The pool area at the hotel was perfect for families with kids. Although the swimming pool is more suitable for children, it provided a refreshing oasis for my little ones to play and enjoy the water while I relaxed nearby. It was a great way to spend the afternoons.

Comfortable Rooms

My stay in the standard room was quite comfortable. It was clean and had decent space, making it ideal for my short visit. The air conditioning was refreshing during the hotter days, and I appreciated having room for the kids to play.

Great for Relaxing

I loved having access to the internet in the lobby, which made it easy to check in with family and plan my day. The atmosphere was relaxing, and there was ample space for enjoying some downtime after my travels.

My stay at the resort was quite good, with spacious and comfortable rooms that made for a cozy retreat. The service was attentive, and I appreciated the helpfulness of the staff. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, especially in terms of variety. While the location is convenient for the airport, it’s not ideally situated for exploring the area, which is a downside if you're looking to venture out.
