limited barclueless management
The bar selection was limited, what a shame. The bar staff played house music during the day. It felt out of place here. Ordering a drink by the pool was frustrating. I had to search for someone to help me. It took several reminders, and basic items, like beer, were out of stock. The management seemed clueless on hospitality standards.

The staff were always polite and ready to assist. The breakfast included a wide variety of choices with Indian dishes changing daily. Staff quickly provided tea when I arrived late one day. I found pre-check-in responses to my questions to be detailed and helpful.
The room I had the first night had mosquitoes. I got several bites. I requested and received a different room the following day. The management could consider mosquito nets or evening mosquito-repelling procedures.
