IndiaThe room was clean and comfortable, everything existed breakfast was amazing
OmanThe restaurant at the hotel called "Jamavar" the food was excellent. The staff by the name of Sandeep was so polite, friendly and his service exceeded our expectation. Kudos to Sandeep ! We actually returned to the restaurant because of his service and hospitality. The room Division Head and his team was helpful in collecting our stuff from the shop for us. The hotel prepared a birthday cake for my wife on her birthday - that was a really a surprise. The staff was very welcoming, humble and polite. They strive to meet your needs.
MalaysiaHad booked the room for the weekend with my daughter, we had a great time at the pool, she loved the room and the beautiful view that came with it. The breakfast spread was wonderful and she enjoyed the pancakes most! The pool was maintained well and the staff there was quite courteous and thoughtful, he helped with inflating my kid's float and even handed her separate towels for later. Overall we loved the pool, the view and of course the complimentary chocolates, however we could not find the same at the cake shop in the lobby when we decided to purchase more of it, would love to know where we can get it from. Special mention of the lobby staff Ms. Arithra (i hope i got her name right), she made my check-in process smooth and fast inspite of all the crowd on that particular day (due to the chess event), and even entertained my kid with stories during our check-out process, it helped me focus on the billing better, thanks!
