Just checked out this week. Stay was pleasant. Staff very pleasant. Chefs Suraj & Edinho & Aaltab were really above standard in service extended to us. But the suprising element was the double charging of hotel fees. Reservation was made well in advance. Deposit was required to secure booking. Exhanges of mails and calls were ongoing with an expectation for reduction of accommodation fees but nothing came out. But merely a verbal apology upon arrival that the management has not agreed to revise hotel fees and the reservation lady merely said that she could not send a mail well before. Had it been so, we could have cancelled this reservation and secure a cheaper one well before and for same facilities. We were caused to pay an exhorbitant fee upon arrival whilst the prevailing rate at that moment was relatively much lesser. Attempts have been made to provide incentives. Money is not all but honest dealing is of essence. Word of caution to all. Thank you, nevertheless for all those who have extended help and suport to make our stay a pleasant one. The staff were indeed very courteous and always ready to help and serve. Thank you once again, Read less
