Second stay 😎...We had an incredible stay at Tamassa Bel Ombre! Every meal from Chef Kunal & Keshan was delicious, Ishal made the evenings fun at the bar, Nishad handled everything smoothly, and Sandesh kept our room perfect. Amazing staff, beautiful lagoon, and so relaxing!

Arrived at 10pm to a disorganised welcome from reception, we were told the buffet had closed so a cold plate of food would be in our rooms, taken to room, air conditioning not working, food arrived at 11.45pm, by then we were past eating. The room was very tired and dated, two single beds both very hard, the room let in a lot of light which made sleeping difficult. Shower unit old and dirty, cupboard above sinks very dirty inside. Mini bar containing 2x coke 2x sprite and 2x beer only, could have done with small bottles of water as well. Food in the buffet was good, pools lovely and well maintained, service for drinks very slow and disorganised, having to sign for every drink is a very outdated system and staff often bought incorrect drinks. The beach is really nice, lots of fish near rocks, current is strong so care is needed. I ate at a beach restaurant on the last night, The food was good but the service was inconsistent. Overall lovely surroundings, shame about the service and tired rooms. Read less
