Really good Stay Experience

cute teamattentive servicefun aerobicsinconvenient stairs

The breakfast service was excellent. Hari and his team were cute each morning (they remembered my preferred drinks!). Heena and Ramesh at the pool provided attentive and friendly service. Christopher's aqua aerobics added fun to my stay.

I noticed the stairs led through staff back offices, marked 'private'. This made me uncomfortable using them. A more guest-friendly stairwell would be helpful.
