Acceptable Stay but with Some Issues
clean pool boat ride check-in issue stacked mattresses
My stay included a boat ride. The ride came with music and lasted one hour. I really enjoyed the pool it was quite clean. The ambience was super amazing too.
My check in had a snag since the receptionist asked for an Indian ID I did not have. The entrance to my room featured mattresses and folding beds stacked up it was quite an eyesore. I asked to speak with the manager the next day but no one bothered to reach out to me.
