Staff at the resort is a class apart with regard to timely service delivery. They are polite and helpful. Guests said that they were given personal attention even when the resort was completely occupied.
All the guests totally loved the food at the resort. Meals at the resort, be it at the overwater restaurant, beachfront dining or poolside bar, were extremely delicious. On special requests the chefs also cooked made to order dishes. Moreover, there are different themes for dinner every night, giving the guests loads of variety.
The pools lack privacy as most other villas overlook the pool. Thus guests who didn't select villas with private pools faced some privacy issues.
Some guests were disappointed with the airport transfer service offered by the resort. Luggage was not looked after and the staff of the hotel at the airport did not bother to help the guests finding trolleys and loading luggage on the same.
One or two guests felt that the resort was overpriced in terms of accommodations, and food as well as beverages.
