Excellent location - just few steps off the pearl beach. The villa was very clean and well designed. The kids enjoyed their evening in the pool. The host was very accommodating and their hospitality was much appreciated. The terrace room was creatively designed and it was very helpful in throwing a surprise party for my sister. The villa has excellent view and witnessing the sunrise was pure bliss. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and we are looking forward to stay again.

    Great location in quiet residential area with fabulous modernist interiors. Very comfy bed, good air conditioning, great shower pressure and WiFi. Kind and helpful staff. To maximise the potential of this fabulous hotel a program of sympathetic renovation would now be of benefit.

    Quiet, peaceful place nearby the sea. Very charming and friendly owner. Sleeping on the tiger bed was the best sleep we had in India. Both nights we overslept our alarm and had a good 11hour rest.

    Nice comfortable apartment with good facilities. Shower worked really well and the bed was superb. Because the apartment is at the back of the complex it was nice and quiet. Also a great view from the balcony. We stayed for one month and were very satisfied. The host was really nice and helpful and was quick to sort out anything we needed.

    It’s the cheapest option I could find at a relatively close distance to my dentist. It was clean and quiet, and a little reception downstairs is nice too. so these are the positives
