Anver, India

Very nice location and very good property and very good staff

Asit819, India

First time experience in floating cottage. It was really good. The sunset from the cottage was exceptional. The boat ride through estuary was exceptional. The time spent with the family at golden beach straight from the floating cottage is unforgettable.

Jerrin, India

fantastic. Staff service is very good. One of the best..........may be best I have been ever

Anonymous, India

Awesome resort. Nice place to chill with friends. Good food. Clean pool. Full of green which is very soothing if you really want a relaxing environment. A new waiter promised an extra beer if you buy two due to ignorance. Later was told that there is no such offer and apologised saying that it was his mistake. When I complained the manager agreed to serve that extra beer and we really liked that gesture and totally appreciate it.

Lalu, India

The resort is very well kept, cottages very comfortable (though could do with adding some drawer space and wardrobe update). The staff, food and overall facilities were excellent.

Bernard, United Kingdom

Very good place to relax for a few days before starting our journey home to the UK. Very clean, nice pool, good meal options, some very good on site resources etc. Very quiet, with access to the site only by boat.

Derek, United Kingdom

The experience was all encompassing- it had a bit of everything. Altogether a really relaxing break from the mundane daily existence

Prakash, India

Floating cottage had nice view(although a bit rocky the rooms were)

The way things were done in reception is good. We checked in and there were only one soap in the bathroom which fell into the closet by mistake. We called and asked for two extra soap and they said it will be delivered in 5 minutes. However no one delivered any soaps within 24 hours of stay we had there. This will minus all the good experience we had at the resort.

If you are looking for a beach holiday, this is not for you as you cannot swim due to dangerous currents.
