The food varieties were delicious, along with the drinks availability. Rapid service from the waiters once the order is done. The resorts have lots of indoor and outdoor games which we really enjoyed. The best part, the resort has three splendid pools. A special thanks to Mr. Nishaad who welcome us at our arrival till our departure. The resort is a 5/5. Read less
