Very nice ambience... View from the balcony is very nice... Quality of food is very good.... But there is one problem which I have to mention is that if the electricity goes off, they don't switch on the generator.... We stayed in dark for hours....

The rooms, service, price and food, all were great. We will definitely visit again. However the only drawback was the generator service which doesn't start swiftly in case of power failure.
