The location just a short walk to a wonderful local beach at south cliff. I stayed 5 nights . Had great breakfast in the morning . Get Dosa.. Great restaurant just up the road from the beach Mama Chompas. It is really the only game in this part of town . Filled up every night. For good reason. cheap by euro or USA standards a little high by homestay options . I was fully satisfied and can recommend highly ."

- "Very old rooms, water not coming in bathroom washbasin, sometimes no water in commode. Lot of construction happening in the hotel. Limited vegetarian food choice. " - "More than TERRIBLE, I would give HORRIBLE...I have stayed in various Hotels, I have never experienced such a worst hospitality and accommodation. The real highlight is, The hotel management has shown us different hotel building which is not located inside the palm tree location. It was totally a hired building or leased building. I believe that they have hired this building, It was very poor standard property. None of the photos were available or posted in the EXPEDIA website while i booked the PALM Tree...I informed the front desk manager that the rooms alloted to us were not available in the expedia website, moreover it is located at a different location, there is no PALM TREE nameboard. The rooms are very very cheaper like sub-standard hotel category rooms. Hence I refused to check-in in that unknown block and asked us to allot rooms in the same block which was mentioned in EXPEDIA website, then they said those rooms which i booked at expedia are expensive rooms and i need to pay Extra Rs. 1000 for each room ( 5000 for 5 rooms ). Else they informed us to cancel the booking. After reaching the spot along with 7 kids and 6 adults, they had put me into great trouble. i tried to escalate this matter to EXPEDIA customercare team. However there is NO HOTLINE contact number for me to reach Expedia. This is actually bad. Expedia have to provide a hotline contact number to their customers when they are in worst experience. No lock for maindoor, No water in bathroom, No AC/ FAN "

Afternoons are often spent around the pool with a book. They’ve just built a fabulous Ayurveda clinic a stones throw away and the massage was excellent.
