The resort is very nice and I was there the last week only. I planned my trip from Thrillophilia and I got superb discounts for the stay. The package was worth the money with the comfort and inclusion that was provided. Smooth experience with the help of Thrillophilia. As for the food, they have a variety of platter and sumptuous food including multi cuisines. This place is very big and have a large swimming pool that has clean water. We had an unforgettable evening day here and recommend this place to you.
