Where to start. We arrived at 2:05 a.m. on January 22nd, 2015. After leaving a request for an early morning check-in and receiving a confirmation that this was okay, we were charged an extra $73.00 (which the night manager assured was half off the going rate for a room). Staff here were very abrupt and came off as a bit rude at us even asking a simple questions such as if they had a tourist map. The room staff were very friendly- although over the top and waited for a tip after providing no service, I mean we know how to turn on a light and operate a t.v. Chances are the driver will not have a clue where this hotel is. Print out a google map with directions before you arrive at the airport.
Contrary to what was available for room options on hotels.com (no breakfast include, break included, all inclusive). Just choose the cheapest option as all rooms seem to be the same quality, wifi was not included (only after negotiation) and you can only use it in the lobby. All inclusive, means breakfast included so by choosing a more expensive options, you get extra service and amenities. It may be close to a beach, but its nothing to brag about, and people were genuinely unfriendly. If this authentic India, then maybe its not the best spot to be.
Positives would have to be the food. The dinner and breakfast selection are buffet style (males omelette, bread, fruit- all you need really). We give it a 2.5/5 but definitely would not stay here again.
