George Georgia

Friendly helpful staff, excellent breakfast buffet with more than the usual predictable items. The golf course is good.

Ian Bangladesh

Great location . Sea and lagoon on either side. The golf court landscape is very beautiful. Rooms are bit dull as the property is close to sea . Bathrooms are very clean. Buffet is tastier but not upto the expectations. There are 3 pools. One has water slides. Lots of activities are there like bikes, adventure coves
