My stay at this hotel was lovely, with the staff being incredibly kind and attentive. The meals were delightful and reasonably priced, and I enjoyed an amazing abhyanga massage that left me relaxed. However, the room was a bit smaller than I expected, and there isn't much to do in the surrounding area, which makes a shorter stay advisable.
